The death of Mrs. Lucy Smith took place on the 18th. She had
been ailing for some time and about two months ago she had an
operation at Freesoil at the home of Mrs. Barley. She got
strong enough so she was removed to her home in Grant Twp. . It
seemed she had waited to long for surgical aid to help her and
a decline set in and she passed quietly away surrounded by her
children. Others arrived in time for the funeral.
About thirty rigs followed the remains to the last resting
place which showed the esteem in which she was held. Relatives
and friends form Ludington and Milwaukee, Thompsonville and
other places were among the followers as well as a host from
Grant twp. her old home.
Ever ready with a kindly word or a cheering smile and a ready
hand to help in a time of need she will not only be missed by
her own household but by the community at large. She felt that
God was through with her here and had summoned her home and
instructed her children what she wished them to do.
So it is, life is short, at best, let us be ready.


"Our home is lonely, Mother is gone
The kindly word, the smile so dear;
We'll miss, but the crown she has won.
And thoughts of her, our hearts will cheer.


Let us think of her as only sleeping,
She tried to live the beautiful way,
That God would take her, in his keeping,
To arise at the resurrection day."
