CIVIL WAR VETERAN PASSES AWAY
Wm. Smith Was a Resident of Springville For Many Years
William Smith was born at Fort Wayne, Indiana, on September 13, 1843. On September 10, 1861, he enlisted in the 44th Indiana Volunteers and saw much active service until the end of his enlistment, November, 1864.
Shortly after his return to Indiana, he was married to Prudence Lightfoot. Nine children were born to them, of whom four survive. After the death of his first wife, he was married to Emma St. John, who survives him as does his only child by this marriage.
His was a long and active life and when age and disease rendered him helpless, he was ready for the end. Death came as a relief on June 4, 1928, and was met as calmly and cheerfully as one welcomes the evening after a day of labor.
The funeral service was held in the Methodist Episcopal Church at 3:00 P. M. Wednesday, in charge of Rev. C. W. Batten. Interment was in the Springville cemetery.
