James W. SMITH was born at Elmira, New York, August 15, 1861, and
passed away August 6, 1929, at the age of 67 years, 11 months and 21
days.  He came west with his parents at the age of 18 years.  He was
married to Miss Lottie FIANT, at Thomas, Okla., February 6, 1898.  To
this union were born six children:  Eva DIXON, Cashion;  Hazel DIAL,
Piedmont;  Alice TRINDLE, Cashion;  Fred, Lloyd and El Dora of

He leaves to mourn his going, his wife and six children, 4
grandchildren, two brothers, J. E. SMITH, Noble, Okla., and L. G.
SMITH, of Putnam, Okla., besides nieces, nephews and a large number of
other relatives and friends.

He was converted at the age of 38  years, and joined the Christian
Advent Church.  Later he united with the United Brethern Church and
two years ago united with the First Christian Church of Kingfisher in
which organization he held his membership at the time of his death.

Mr. SMITH was a man of Christian life and influence.  He was loved and
respected by all who knew him.  He let his light shine for his master.
He helped organize and advance the work of Sunday Schools and churches
in the community where he lived.  He has gone to a deserved reward.
