The Portland Observer, Thursday, June 15, 1922
Word was received in Portland, Monday morning, announcing the death of Leonard 
Smith, Sunday at Deadwood, South Dakota, following an operation. 

Leonard is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith who reside on the Frank Pryer 
farm and left here in April to accept a position on the ranch of Chas. Beard, 
in South Dakota.  Several days before the operation he complained of a pain in 
his ear which rapidly grew worse and he was taken a distance of 60 miles, to 
the town of Murcheson, where the nearest doctor was located.  From there he 
was taken to Deadwood where it was discovered he was suffering from a mastoid 
abscess.  Failing to recover from the operation he passed away Sunday 
afternoon.

Besides the parents he is survived by one brother and one sister, Elmer and 
Bessie, both at home.  Word was received this morning that the remains would 
arrive in Portland Friday evening and the funeral will be held from the 
Methodist church, Saturday afternoon at two o’clock, in charge of Rev. Floyd 
Blewfield.
