Ionia Standard, 15 Aug 1890

Loretta, wife of Peter Smith, died at her home on Lafayette street, on Wednesday

been a sufferer from heart trouble.  The funeral was attended from the residence
on Thursday afternoon.

--------------------

The funeral of Mrs. Peter Smith took place yesterday afternoon from the
residence on Lafayette street.  There was a good attendance of neighbors and
friends.  The discourse was by Rev. W.H. Scott, of the Disciple’s church, on
account of the absence of Revs. A.M. Gould and A.P. Moors, Mrs. Smith being a
member of the M.E. church.  

The music was by a quartet, consisting of J.E. Just, Mrs. F.C. Livermore, Miss
Wortley and C.L. Bemis, with Miss Mary Colton as organist.  A piece of music
composed by Prof. Proctor, of Minneapolis, a personal friend of Prof. Eugene
Smith, dedicated to Mrs. Smith, entitled “My Heavenly Home,” was among those
sung.  The display of flowers was large and very fine, Mrs. Smith having been
especially fond of flowers and it being her request to be “buried in flowers.”

The children, Frank, Eugene, Charles and Mr. Smith’s brother, Harmon, were the
bearers.  Interment was in Oakhill cemetery.
