SMITH, Wm. – After an illness of a few days Wm. Smith died Thursday afternoon of last week at his home in south Springdale, his death being due to tubercular trouble. The remains were interred in the cemetery at Shady Grove, south of town, Friday afternoon, services being conducted by Eld. Edward E. Hale. Wm. Smith was born in Tunnel Hill, Georgia July 5, 1846. On September 1, 1877 he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Faucett at Tunnel Hill and to them were born ten children, eight of whom with the widow, survive him. Of the living children, there are four daughters and four sons, as follows: Mattie, wife of J.A. Sullivan of Wesley, Madison County; Sidney, who has been making his home at Wichita, Kansas for some time past; Maud, James, Julius, Ada, Lura and Floyd. All were present at the funeral of their father except Julius who arrived Friday. Deceased also had two brothers and a sister living in Tunnel Hill. In 1882 the family moved to Fulton County, this State, and from there to Southwest City, Missouri, thence to Drakes Creek, Madison County and from the latter place came to Springdale in 1885 where they have since resided. Mr. Smith was a merchant of more than ordinary ingenuity and was the originator of a number of inventions, none of witch, however, were much of a financial success. Deceased was a soldier in the Southern Army during the Civil War and was a member of the Christian Church. He was an honorable and upright man and had the confidence and respect of all who knew him.
