Confederate Veteran Passes Away

Mr. Philip Smith, Confederate Veteran, and for many years prominent citizen of
Winnfield, died at his home here Wednesday morning at 6 o'clock from an
illness of a few weeks.

Mr. Smith was born in Goodwater, Ga., in 1840.  He was married to Miss
Louvenia Hyde in 1874.  Eight children, seven girls and one boy were born to
them, his wife and five children still surviving him.  They are: Mrs. A. L.
McDonald, Winnfield; Mrs. V. W. Cain, Wichita Falls, Texas; Mrs. Charlie
Bullard, Dallas, Texas; Mrs. Alfred Goodwin, Colfax, La.; Mrs. Douglas Smith,
Pine Bluff, Ark.

Mr. Smith, notwithstanding his advanced age, was always in a good mood, and
was known by everybody as "Uncle Philip."  He joined the Methodist Church at
Montgomery, La., many years ago and was a loyal member until his death.

The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock at the
Methodist Church, the pastor, Rev. P. M. Caraway, assisted by Rev. Alwin
Stokes, officiating.  Interment was in the Winnfield Cemetery.
