"Charlie Judy Smith was born in Wayne County, Illinois, on September 28, 1869. On October 28, 1890, he was united in marriage to Rhoda J. Miller; this union was blessed with ten children, seven of whom survive.
In 1905, the family moved to Arkansas and homesteaded land where they lived until 1915, when they moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and later moved to Texas, following the desire to give the children a Christian education in the schools of the Free Methodist Church.
Mr. Smith was an active member of the Free Methodist Church always striving to support his church and its program. In 1924 the family moved to McPherson, Kansas, enabling the children to have the advantages of attending Central College.
The Smith home was broken by Mrs. Smith's death on June 16, 1951. She is at rest in the McPherson Cemetery. Mr. Smith then returned to Siloam Springs, Arkansas, where he could be with one of his sons.
At a later date he married Mable Fulton of Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Several months of serious illness preceded his passing, which came at the home of his son, Wallace, on December 3, 1956.
Survivors include his wife, Mable; four daughters: Edna Barrett of Medford, Oregon, Bertha Dixon of McPherson, Mary Haddock of Muskogee, Oklahoma, and Zelma Gregory of Ault, Colorado; three sons, William W. and C. Clarence, both of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Wallace of Siloam Springs, Arkansas; one sister, Mrs. Allie Martin of Fairfield, Ill.; numerous grandchildren, other relatives and his friends."
