Mrs. Zoe Smith Passes Away
The death of Mrs. Zoe Smith last Friday evening brought sadness to her many friends and relatives. Mrs. Smith had been sick only a few days suffering from an infection of the lip that developed into a carbuncle. She was about 86 years of age and a great part of her life had been spent in Booneville. Many years ago she became the bride of John W. Smith, who filled the office of Circuit Clerk for many years. He was a popular and efficent officer and a ConfederateSoldier.
Since his death about 30 years ago, Mrs. Smith continued to reside at the old homestead, though often asked to make her home with her children. No woman of Booneville was more beloved than Mrs. Smith with her sunny disposition. She made friends wherever she went. She was a life-long member of the Baptist Church and she took the keenest pleasure in attending its services and helping in its activities.
She is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Inez McCarley, Mrs Irma Falls and Mrs. Lillian Rees and one son, Julian Smith, a brother Mr. Ed Young and a sister Mrs. Lula Robinson of Corinth and a host of other relatives.
The funeral took place, Saturday afternoon from the Baptist Church; the services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. D. Thompson, assisted by Br. Bennett, pastor of the Methodist church. At the conclusion of the services her body was carried to the Booneville Cemetery and tenderly laid to rest beside her husband and the new made mound was banked with a profusion of lovely flowers, attesting the esteem in which she was held in the community.
McMillan Funeral Directors had charge of the funeral arrangements.
