The funeral for Mrs. Sarah Smith, who died Thursday evening at the home of 
her daughter, Mrs. George I. Strachan, was held Sunday afternoon and 
interment was made a Snow's Corners burying ground. Mrs. Smith, whose maiden 
name was Sarah Leona Adams, was born at Ashtabula, O., in 1836, and at the 
age of 18 was married to Howard Allen. to this union was born four children, 
all of whom are deceased, except Mrs. Strachan.  In 1866 they family moved 
to Snow's Corners, where they lived until Mr. Allen's death. Mrs. Smith, who 
has since made her home with her children , was a woman of exemplary 
Christian character and of rare literary attainments.  Her greatest 
enjoyment during the later years of her life was found in good literature, 
and the morning of her last day was spent enjoying the repetition of a poem 
and in enjoying the reading of several others.  She will be greatly missed 
by those who appreciated her rare gifts and spirit.
