Obit-Gonzales Inquirer Dec. 24, 1891
In Memoriam
Mrs. Smith, wife of Mr. Samuel Smith, departed this life Dec. 10th 1891 at the residence of her son W. F. Smith, in Clabbertown, Gonzales county, Texas. Mrs. Smith was born Oct. 12th, 1809, was married to her husband Samuel Smith, Jan. the 16, 1834, in the state of Florida, afterwards moved to Alabama and then to Texas. She was the mother of a large family of children, several of whom survive her with their father to mourn her loss. In May 1841, she joined the Primitive Baptist church of which she remained a consistent member until the day of her death. Grand Mother Smith as she was called passed through many vicissitudes in life and lived nearly 58 years with her husband, who is now totally blind, and stricken in years. One remarkable coincidence in their lives was this. The negro cook, a girl who prepared their wedding supper took supper with the old couple just 50 years to the day afterward. To her children and grandchildren the writer would say emulate her Christian example to her afflicted and bereaved husband. All things work according to His purpose, and may God who doeth all things well comfort and sustain them.
