LIZZIE KELLY GOODRICH SMITHFIELD DEATH - (Special to Virginian-Pilot.) Smithfield, Va., April 12. - The shadow of death rested on the home of one of our citizens Saturday morning, Mrs. Lizzie Kelley Goodrich, wife of Mr. Ernest Goodrich, being called from earth to heaven at that time. Mrs. Goodrich was a most estimable lady, and her death will be greatly lamented by a wide circle of friends. The funeral was held from Christ Episcopal Church, of which the deceased was a devout communicant, by Rev. F.G. Scott, assisted by Rev. Mr. Jolliff, of the Methodist Church, and the remains were tenderly laid to rest in Ivy-Hill Cemetery, to await the resurrection of the just. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved husband. "Lizzie" Elizabeth H. (KELLY; Mrs. Ernest C.)
