Ionia County News – Thursday, 3 July 1930

Mrs. Sarah Spencer Smitherman, wife of Henry Smitherman, died Saturday 
afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. W. Krainbrink, 269 East 
Washington Street, following a long illness.  She was 75 years old.  Born in 
England, Mrs. Smitherman was brought to Michigan when her parents immigrated 
here when she was one year old.  They settled in Clinton County and were among 
the pioneer residents of that section.

At the age of 23, Mrs. Smitherman was married to Harry Smitherman, at DuPlain, 
near Ovid, and began housekeeping at Livonia, Wayne County.  After living 
there several years, the couple moved to Plymouth, and 11 years ago came to 
Ionia to make their home near that of their daughter, Mrs. E. W. Krainbrink.  
Two years ago they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.

In addition to her husband and daughter in Ionia, Mrs. Smitherman, leaves a 
son, William Smitherman, of Detroit, and two granddaughters, Miss Dorothy 
Krainbrink, of Ionia, and Miss Hazel Smitherman, of Detroit.  The funeral 
services were held from the home at 1 o’clock Tuesday and from the Baptist 
church at 2 o’clock were conducted by Rev. F. J. Fitch.  Burial was in Ovid 
cemetery.
