"Once more it becomes a sad duty to announce the death of a good
woman - Mrs. Sallie Smith, wife of
L. G. Smith, died on February 11th, 1935, at her home near Stephens.
After long affliction she passed away, but
the shock made it seem sudden.
She was born in Meriwether county, Georgia; being a daughter of Rev.
Dr. Lovick Pierce, who died at her
home a few years ago. The Pierce family came to Arkansas from Georgia in
1883. She was married to Mr. Smith in
1886 and resided near Stephens all her married life. Her husband seven
children, together with her aged mother, a
sister and two brothers are left to mourn their irreparable loss. The
life she led was a Christian one; so quiet, so
serene, so pure, and truly devoted to her family.
Mrs. Smith was laid to rest last Sabbath in Mt. Prospect cemetery,
by her pastor, Rev. C. O. Steele, and
a large gathering of loving friends. The entire community extends its
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family." .
