Stanton Weekly Clipper
SMITH, EMMA LOUISA (CARTER) (MRS. ASAPH CLEMENDON III):
   STANTON WEEKLY CLIPPER, Stanton, Michigan, Friday, November 16, 1888, front
page:  "Mrs. Emma Smith, wife of A. C. Smith of this city, after a long and
painful illness, died Wednesday morning, age 20 years and 6 months.  She leaves
a devoted husband and infant son to mourn her untimely death.   They have the
deepest sympathy of a wide circle of friends.  The remains were taken to Lowell,
her former home, Wednesday afternoon for interment."

   LOWELL JOURNAL, Friday, November 16, 1888, page 3:  "The remains of Mrs. A.
C. Smith, daughter of Theodore Carter, of this village, were brought here from
Stanton Wednesday afternoon for burial.  The deceased was aged 19 years, 11
months and 30 days.  She leaves a little son between seven and eight months old.
 The funeral will occur at the Baptist church this afternoon at 2 o'clock."
 
   LOWELL JOURNAL, Friday, November 23, 1888, page 3:  "Card of Thanks - We, the
undersigned, desire to express our heartfelt thanks to our kind friends for the
promptness and faithfulness with which they came to our aid at the burial of our
daughter and wife.  May He who is The Recorder of all never leave such without
friends as ready and willing in their time of affliction.  THEO. B.CARTER,
FRANCES A. CARTER, Parents; A. C. SMITH, Husband."

   Black funeral card given to me by Francis (Carter) Kropf:  "In Loving
Remembrance of Mrs. Emma L. Smith, Died Nov. 14, 1888.  Aged 19 yrs. 11 mos 20
days:  
There is no Death!  what seems so is transition; 
This life of Mortal breath Is but a suburb of the life elysian,  
Whose portal we call Death.   
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep  
A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes.  
Asleep in Jesus! far from thee, Thy kindred and their graves may be; 
But thine is still a blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep."
