II is hard 10 estimate the value Of sue
:. a man to a community. His unpreten,
- ing little shop scarcely afforded him
living, aud he was very unassuming
all that he did; yet there Is not a man
the community who will be more miss
than he. Possessed Of . magnihcens voiS
te a thorough knowledge Of, aud keen q
ts probation for music, he was always
re demand at social functions, OF specI
re meetings Of the various churches, at schc
entertain ments, and wherever there W
TO be any singing. He was always rea
to to 20 wherever he was wanted, aud oft
ed when be felt that he could not spare I
RS. time, be went anyhow, for fear somebo
et would be disappointed.
m. But perhaps the one thing that has e
" deared Mr.. Smith In the hearts OF @
people more than any Others, Is the Il
that for the past thirty years he has be
called upon 10 attend nearly every fur

~ always responded. When he was busl
mt q call 10 attend q funeral was sufiicle
Ill and his shop would be locked up till
returned. He has sung In all our hon

So the cemetery, In rain or shine, IN the b

and his memory will be cherished as Ii
as we mourn the dead he has helped
lay TO rest.

Christian church, and was soon aiterw
chosen as . deacon, and then wal n
clerk OF the Official board, and held b
positions when he died. He was
leader Of the choir, and his time was
taken up by church work, but he nj
