SMITH - In Hollidaysburg, Pa., on the evening of the 10th inst., in her 
34th year, Elizabeth T., wife of Dr. George W. Smith, M.D. The deceased 
was born in Frankstown, Blair Co., Pa., and was the eldest daughter of 
Seth R. McCune, Esq. She had long been a member of the Presbyterian 
church, and was always a consistent communicant, evincing with great 
diffidence and modesty, such virtues that none could doubt her purity  
and devotion. She combined with the simplicity of a child those 
sterling qualities of heart and mind, which urges a wife and mother to 
the conscientious discharge of her duties and the strict observance of 
all the christian virtues. She was a most affectionate daughter, wife 
and mother, and her many loving qualities will ever be cherished in the 
hearts of those comprising the family circle. She had many friends who 
will long miss her, and by whom she will long be remembered. After a 
protracted illness, she gently fell asleep in Jesus, testifying of the 
Saviour's faithfulness, and rejoicing that she was ready when the 
Master called.
    "She has left us, and forever
    She has moved a little nearer
    To the lover of all virtues"  
                     B.
