Smith died in the township of Keene, Friday morning of last week at the advanced age of 85 years. Mr. Smith was one of the original settlers of the county, and was the first county surveyor. He was post master in Ionia when the town was hardly a hamlet, and was for many years a resident of the township of Keene. He was a man that was above the average in mental ability and coupled with this he was possessed of a sterling integrity, which gave him an honorable reputation and many warm friends, many of whom have preceded him to the other side. The funeral was held in Easton, Sunday morning. Rev. Geo. A. Wain preaching the sermon." Burial Easton Cemetery, Easton Township, Ionia County, Michigan.
