July 24, 1870, d. April 11, 1898 His Obituary: Wm. B Goldsmith, son of Harmon and Alnora Goldsmith, was born in Fairfield Township, Mich, July 24th, 1870 and died at his home in Fairfield on Monday, April 11th, 1898, at 7 o'clock a.m. He was married Sept. 14, 1897 to Miss Anna Hatt, of Palmyra, Mich. Willie will be greatly missed not only in the home circle, but in the entire community where he was a general favorite. The school where he attended but a few years ago was closed, and the bearers were selected from his schoolmates. The funeral was largely attended and was held at the Ridge church, April 13th. The services were both solemn and impressive and were delivered by the same pastor who officiated at the marriage so short a time ago, the Rev. Geo. Humphrey, of Palmyra. The pallbearers were Archie Morse, Samuel Raymond JR., Fred Morse, Clifford Ayers, Eugene Stout and Frank Raymond. Universal sympathy goes out to his parents, who have seemingly had more then their share of trouble, this being their last child, the support of their declining years, they having lost a son a little over a year ago; also to his widow, who so shortly started with him on life's voyage, with bright prospects of a long and happy life together.
