From the Adams County Press, Volume XXXI Number 12, Saturday August 29,
1891, Page 4

By one of those accidents that will sometimes occur, even in the best
regulated offices, the Press failed last week to get in the notice of the
death of Noyes B. SMITH--Bruce SMITH--as he was familiarly known to almost
every resident of Adams county.

His death occurred very suddenly at his farm in the Town of New Haven, on
the 12th of this month, of Heart Disease.

He was born in McKane Pennsylvania on June 9, 1839 and was a little over 52
years old. He came to Wisconsin at the age of fifteen living with his
father in Adams county. In 1861 he enlisted in Company D, 4th Wisconsin
Infantry, and after an active and honorable service of over two years was
discharged with disability. He was sheriff of Adams county from 1872 to
1874. He moved to Kilbourn City in 1880, and had since that time been one
of the most prominent and influential citizens. About a year ago he was
appointed postmaster by President Harrison. Mr. SMITH had acquired
considerable of a fortune, leaving his family in good circumstances. In his
family he was a kind and affectionate husband and father, and socially a
geneial companion and friend.
