Death of Marion G. Smith.

  At Bellwood on Thursday night at 10.30 o'clock, Marion G. Smith 
passed away from this life, and will be buried at that place this 
afternoon at 1 o'clock.  Marion G. Smith entered in Captain Henry 
Wayne's company (F) Seventy-sixth regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, 
(Keystone Zouaves) on August 27, 1861, and served for a period of three 
years, three months and three days.  He was a brave and faithful 
soldier, always ready for duty, never on the sick list, and took part 
with his company in all their many engagements including the siege of 
Fort Wagner, at Charleston and Fort Sumter, South Carolina, and during 
the regiment's campaign in Virginia.  He was a member of the Grand Army 
of the Republic post at Bellwood.  It is hoped that as many of the 
comrades of his late company and regiment as can will attend the 
funeral.
