SMITH. - In Orleans, Ionia Co., Mich., Mrs. Elizabeth L., wife of Vernon H.
Smith, and daughter of S. J. Wright, of Ionia, was suddenly called to try the
realities of that awful eternity from whence no traveler hath returned.  Lizzie
was born May 4th, 1843, in Norwich, Oxford Co., Canada West.  At the age of six
years, by the unfeeling hand of death, she lost that dearest earthly friend, a
mother.  Came to Ionia in the fall of 1857, and the following spring was
converted to God and joined the M. E. Church, under the labors of Rev. Thomas
Lyon.  She was married Jan. 10, 1865, and summoned in but little more than one
short year, to bid adieu to all things earthly.  Lizzie was an earnest laborer
in the Sabbath School, a faithful teacher, gentle in manner, patient in spirit,
and esteemed by all who knew her.  A loved sister, daughter and wife has
preceded us to the other shore; but we trust that our loss is her infinite gain.
 Earth’s sufferings with her are over, and with that happy number she sleeps in
Jesus - “In her lot and place, until the end of the days.”  Unconsciously she
entered the valley of the shadow, yet she has left many cheering evidences that
for her to die was gain.
