   "Mrs. Smith, Yoloan 68 Years, Dies
   Mrs.  Emeline Smith, 92, resident of Yolo county for 68 years, died in
   her  sleep Sunday at her home in Brooks. She was a native of Buchanan,
   Michigan,  and  came west in 1875 with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob
   Henry, local pioneers.
   Although  in  failing  health  for a long time, Mrs. Smith's death was
   sudden  and  came  as  a  great  shock  to  her  friends and relatives
   throughout Yolo county.
   Mrs.  Smith  was  an  active  member  of  the  W.C.T.U. and during her
   life-time  had  been  a leader. She was kind and considerate and had a
   wide circle of friends who loved and admired her.
   She  is  survived  by  three  sons, Willard F. and Henry Earl Smith of
   Brooks  and  Avery G. Smith of Venice; two daughters, Mrs. Ivy J. Baas
   of Hubbard, Texas, and Mrs. Clyde P. Harlan of Compton; a sister, Mrs.
   Alma  Cranston  of  Woodland;  a  brother  George  W. Henry of Scotia,
   Illinois, and 10 grandchildren, and 15 great grandchildren.
   Mrs.  Smith  and her husband, the late Henry Huber Smith, were married
   at Young American, Illinois, in 1868."
