The body of Dr. Sidney E. Smith, who died at Brooklyn, Saturday night, at the
age of 46 years, was brought to Norwich Monday morning  where burial was made
at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon at Mt. Hope Cemetery. Dr. Smith was for several
years a resident of this village being a partner of Burton E. Reynolds in the
drug business under the firm name of Smith & Reynolds. He left here only a few
years ago and for the past two years has been one of the leading physicians of
Brooklyn where he enjoyed a large practice. He was a member of the consulting
staff of the Williamsburg hospital at Brooklyn and during the brief period of
time he was practicing medicine in that city made a large number of friends by
his keen insight into all diseases and by his pleasing personality. Dr. Smith
was taken ill with diptheria and on last Tuesday was transferred to the
Kingston Ave. hospital for contagious diseases. His physical condition was not
of the best which coupled with the fact that he had a weak heart, directly
caused his death. He had practically recovered from diptheria, when it was
learned that his heart was very weak. Besides his grief stricken wife and two
daughters, aged 20 and 14, he leaves an aged Mother, Mrs. Alpheus Smith (Ruth
Gates McNITT), of South Broad St., two sisters, Miss Hattie and Mrs. John
Simpson of Brooklyn. A short prayer service was held at the Mt. Hope Chapel at
3 o'clock.
