A RIPE OLD AGE.
Mrs. Smith, Salem's Centenarian
Quietly Passes Away.

Yesterday afternoon at the home
of her son in South Salem, occurred
the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Smith,
aged 1O2 years, nine months and five
days.
Thus peacefully closes the event
full life of the eentenarian of Salem.
She lived more years than is often
allotted to man. She was the fifth
member of family Of eleven, all oi
whom reached good ages. Her birth
occurred on June 8, 1856, at Alstead,
New Hampshire. Removing with
her parents to the then village OF
Rochester, New York, in 1904. She
there resided half century and
witnessed the upbuilding OF
a noble city. Her maiden name
was johnson, and OH February 1S,
1915, Miss Elizabeth johnson be-
came the wife of John Smith, with
whom she lived until his death on
June 8, 1858. TO them were born
first twins, which were followed by
three other childrens OF these, two
alone survive, Fabritus, of this city,
and Townsend, of Rochester, n. Y.
The former was one of the twins.
Mrs. Smith has made her home
with her son in this city since 1870,
and has led a quiet, unassuming
christian life. Until the time of
her death she retained her mental
faculties, and her passing away was
but the peaceful close of a long and
useful life.
The funeral will be conducted
from the residence Of her son in
South Salem tomorrow afternoon
at 2 O'Clock, the remains being in
tered in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
