The Ionia County News, Thursday, April 18, 1929


Although he left Ionia some time ago to seek health in the south west where he 
died Saturday, Eugene P. Smith, 70, will be mourned by many here whose 
recollections of him bear with them remembrances of their early days.

Mr. Smith was for many years the most popular teacher of piano in this section 
of the state.  There were few boys or girls in the city or vicinity who took 
piano lessons but were numbered among his pupils and many of the more advanced 
players were also studying under him.  To all of those who fingered the keys 
under his direction he ever will remain dear in memory for his kindliness and 
inproverbial.

He continued his musical labors here until failing health caused him and his 
wife to go to Hutchinson, Kans., where he died at the home of his cousin, Mrs. 
J. L. Clark.  While in Ionia both Mr. and Mrs. Smith were loyal and energetic 
workers in the churches having their own affiliation with the Church of 
Christ.  It is from that church funeral services were scheduled.

He was preceded in death by Mrs. Smith who died near Gregory in 1927.  The 
sole surviving relative of the immediate family is a brother, Frank, of 
Chicago.
