Nov 23 1926 While death is always sad to the relatives and friends, it should affect us much less where one has reached old age, as in the foregoing cases. In each case they had finished lifes work and were helpless invalids, only waiting for the call of the Master. In our estimation, a much more sad affair was the passing of Mrs. E.L. Smith Tuesday morning, November 23, 1926 at the age of less than 29 years of age. Truly it has been said that "Death is no respector of persons." Her life's work apparently was before her. She was the mother of five small children, two of them, twins were but a few weeks old. The funeral service was conducted from the Evangelical church Thursday evening, Evangelist Davis officiating, and the remains interred at the O. D. H. S. cemetery. She is survived by her husband, Elmar Layfayette Smith and 5 children, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Aber, and perhaps brothers and sisters. All of which have the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement.
