HOLCOMB, Belle SMITH DePree - The relatives and many friends of Mrs. Belle Holcomb, wife of Joseph Holcomb, were surprised and pained Monday morning to learn of her death which occurred at Fayetteville at half past four o'clock of heart disease and a complication of other ills. She was taken Sunday morning but no serious results were anticipated as she has for some time been subject to similar attacks. She grew worse Sunday night and notwithstanding the attention of skilled physicians and devoted friends, passed peacefully to sleep.
The remains were brought to Springdale Monday evening and taken to the home of J.P. Deaver. Funeral services were held at the South Methodist Church Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Hanesworth of Fayetteville, assisted by Rev. E.L. Massey and Eld. Jas. Dodson. The church was crowded with friends of the deceased and a great many followed the remains to their last resting place in Bluff cemetery.
Belle Smith was born in Hempstead County, Ark. January 16th, 1844. She was married to Thos. C. DuPree on December 23, 1863 and from this union there were two children, Emma B. Dupree, now Mrs. J.P. Deaver, and James W. DuPree, both of whom were born in Fulton, Hempstead County. On May 20, 1869 she was united in marriage to Joseph Holcomb at the home of her father in Hempstead County by Rev. F. Holmes. As a result of this union there were four children, Cener, Bruce, Jobell and George.
All the children survive their mother and were present at the funeral. Deceased also has a number of brothers but none of them were able to get here except Chas. and Bob Smith who reside near Rogers. In the death of Mrs. Holcomb there passed away a truly good and noble woman.
Possessing a superior education naturally refined and endowed with many beautiful traits of character, she was fitted to shine in any sphere of life. She preferred the quiet little home circle to the gaieties of the outside world and in her noble teachings and unselfish devotion she has left to those behind her a priceless heritage. May they emulate her example.
