Red Springs Comet 12/15/1892
Col. Peter P. Smith died at his residence near Floral College last Monday, the 
13th inst.  We do not know his exact age, but suppose he was between sixty-five 
and seventy.  His health had been declining for several months, and it was 
painfully evident to his numerous friends that he was “taken with a summons,” 
and that “the silver cord was loosed.” Still the “passing over to the other 
side” of such a man as Col. Smith could not but produce a profound sensation  
throughout the entire community.  For forty years he had been a man of mark; of 
splendid physique, commanding presence and unusual intelligence, a devoted 
husband and father, a kind and obliging neighbor, a useful citizen, “given to 
hospitality,” a model Christian gentleman.  For several years he held the 
honorable and responsible office of County Treasurer, and also the still more 
honorable and responsible office of a Ruling Elder in the Centre Presbyterian
Church.  Requiescat in pace.
