SMITH, Wm. M. - (from Lowell) W.M. Smith died Monday, December 10th at 2:30 p.m. at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Lee Jackson, after a lingering illness. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. at the Baptist church and were conducted by Rev. Johnson. Interment was made in the Bentonville cemetery Wednesday morning and he was laid to rest by the side of his son, James Smith, who lived in Rogers and died there last winter. Mr. Smith was somewhere near 100 years of age as well as the surviving family members could tell, as the last family record was destroyed when the home and all its contents were destroyed by fire five years ago. He was born and raised in Midland, Tenn. and was converted and joined the Baptist church when he was very young. He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Lee Jackson of this place and Mrs. Polly Jane Jones of Newalla, Okla., his wife having been dead 22 or 23 years. All the loving tenderness and care that could be given any one was bestowed upon him by Mrs. Jackson in his last days and we extend our sympathy to the survivors as his chair can never be filled.

Mrs. E.B. Howard was called to Lowell Tuesday to attend the funeral of her grandfather, Wm. Smith, who died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. H.L. Jackson. There is no data as to the exact age of Mr. Smith but as near as could be decided by the family he was in his one hundredth year.
