Ionia Sentinel Standard, Aug 2001

Burton M. Smith, age 95, of Clarksville, passed away Thursday morning, Aug. 2,
2001.  Burton was born in Sebewa Township on Oct. 27, 1905 to William and Louise
(Sindlinger) Smith.  He attended grade school in Sebewa and graduated from
Sunfield High School in 1921.  He was married for more than 50 years to Winifred
Clow Smith.

During his lifetime, Burton had worked for Smith-Groen Lumber and Hardware
manufacturing windows, but his real love remained with farming.  He was always
happy and content tending his garden.  Above all, Burton had dedicated his life
to Christ and doing the will of God.

Burton is survived by his daughter, Selma Williamson of Wayland; his son, Burton
M. “Jack” Smith, Jr. of Grand Rapids; four grandchildren; nine great
grandchildren; and many other loving relatives and friends.  He was preceded in
death by his parents; his wife, Winifred; his brothers, Clyde, Clifton, and
Glenn; and his sister, Violet.

The funeral service was held Sunday, Aug. 5, 2001 at the Seventh Day Adventist
Church in Ionia.  Burial was at Clarksville Cemetery.  Memorial contributions
may be made to the donor’s favorite charity.  Arrangements were made by Koops
Clarksville Memorial Chapel.
