A Lifelong Resident of Muir is Dead

Mrs. Beatrice Anderson Smith, 65, a life-long resident of Muir and a well known 
music teacher, died in Clinton Memorial hospital at St. Johns at 10 o’clock 
Thursday morning after an illness of several months.

Mrs. Smith became ill last February and Wednesday her condition became such 
that she was removed to the St. Johns hospital where an operation was planned.  
She died, however, before an operation could be performed.

Mrs. Smith was born in Muir and attended school in Muir.  As a young woman she 
became an accomplished musician and taught piano for many years until her 
health forced her retirement only a few months ago.  She was married to George 
Smith of Waldron.  Mr. Smith died 16 years ago and Mrs. Smith after living in 
Waldron for 13 years returned to her home in Muir where she lived with her aged 
father until his death a few years ago.

Mrs. Smith was an active member of the republican party and for many years a 
county committee delegate to the state republican conventions.  At the time of 
her death she was assessor for the village of Muir having been elected this 
spring.

[Unreadable line] ... Presbyterian church, president of the Ladies Aid society 
and superintendent of the Sunday school.  She was church pianist at the time of 
her death and had held that position for many years.  She belonged to the Muir 
Literary club and the Ionia Business and Professional Woman’s club.

Funeral services will be held from the Presbyterian church in Muir at 2 p.m. 
Sunday.
