The Carson City Gazette, Thursday, October 4, 1951


Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon from the Hubbardston Methodist 
church for Maurice Keefer Smith, 49.  Rev. Harold Homer, pastor of the church 
officiated at the rites which were in charge of the Burns Funeral Home of 
Carson City.  Interment was made in the West Side cemetery, Hubbardston.

Mr. Smith was born in Clinton county June 17, 1902, the son of William W. and 
Eva Keefer Smith.  His early years were spent on the farm near Hubbardston.  
Later the family moved to Hubbardston and this was his home until about a year 
ago when the illness of his sister, Helen, made other arrangements necessary, 
and he went to live at the Newhall Convalescent Home near Morley, where he died 
Monday, October 1.

Maurice was crippled all his life and it became increasingly hard for him to 
walk.  For the past eight months he had been confined to a wheel chair.  His 
affliction in no way clouded his sunny disposition.  He had a fine bass voice 
which had been well trained, and he was never happier than when singing.

For many years after the death of his mother he was devotedly cared for by his 
aunt, May Smith, and later by his sisters, Helen and Marjorie Smith, who 
survive him, as does a brother, Harold.  His parents and baby sister, Florence, 
died many years ago.
