ALVEY SMITH DEAD
Preceded by His Wife Last July. Good Neighbor and Friend. Obituary

Alvey Smith was born in Hector, Tompkins county, New York, July 22, 1836. His 
parents soon after came to Michigan and settled in Washtenaw county where he 
spent his early life, living with his sister, Mrs. Maryette Snow, after the 
death of his parents.

He married Miss Catherine Knapp October 20, 1863, at Eaton Rapids, Mich., and 
lived on a farm a few mils south of that place until they moved to Lake Odessa 
shortly after the town was started.

He was the youngest of nine children, only one of whom survives him.

To mourn his loss he leaves a son, Adelbert, of this place and a brother, 
William, of Eaton Rapids, together with many other relatives and friends who 
remember him kindly as relative and friend.

Rev. Jones officiated at the funeral which was held from the Congregational 
church Wednesday at 2 o'clock. Interment was in Lakeside cemetery.

Those present at the funeral from away were his brother William from Eaton 
Rapids also H.C. Knowlton, Charles Smith and James Williams of Eaton Rapids and 
Mr and Mr John Hogeboon of Mason an Mrs Maggie Sumner of Chelsea.

The bereft son Adelbert especially has the very warmest sympathy from a host of 
friends here in this his hour of deep affliction. He has given his father the 
kindest of attention.
