DEATH OF MRS. GEO. SMITH 

Estimable Young Wife and Mother Called to Her Reward

Mrs. George T. Smith died at her farm home, northwest of the village early 
Friday morning. She had been hopelessly ill for several days. Funeral services 
were held at the house Sunday afternoon, Revs. T.F. Galt, of the 
Congregational, and Rev. J.M. DeVetta, of the Baptist churches, officiating. 
Many sympathizing friends attended.

Mrs. Smith is survived by her husband and four children- Mrs. Dale Blackman, 
Harold, Laban and Earl Smith; her father, Frank Chalker, and a sister, Mrs. 
W.S. Terry, of Detroit. Mrs. Terry arrived in Portland several days before her 
sister’s death and assisted in her care. Mr. Terry came Saturday to attend the 
funeral.

The maiden name of the deceased was Tressa B. Chalker and she was born near Ann 
Arbor, Mich., Dec. 21, 1873. She came to Portland with her parents, where her 
marriage to Mr. Smith took place. She was an active member of the 
Congregational Guild and of the Eastern Star, both organizations being 
represented at the funeral.
