The Lake Odessa Wave, Friday, March 17, 1899


Herbert R. Smith, a painter by trade, living southeast of the school house, in 
this village died last Friday night at about three o’clock.  Mr. Smith retired 
in the evening with the rest of the family feeling as well as usual, but at 
about fifteen minutes after three o’clock arose from bed to see what time it 
was, he then got back into bed, and Mrs. Smith asked him what time it was, and 
he told her, and was evidently feeling all right as he had not complained.  He 
had not been in bed but a moment when he gave a groan that alarmed his wife 
and she sprang out of bed, and lighted a lamp.  She saw immediately that 
something was wrong and sent to the neighbors, and then tried to arouse her 
husband from his sleep of death, but to no avail, and he lay quiet in death 
before the neighbors arrived.  Heart trouble the cause.

He leaves a wife and three children.  The funeral was held Monday from the U. 
B. church, Rev. Ickes preaching the sermon.  The remains were interred in 
Lakeside cemetery.
