Deep sadness and sense OF loss is
felt throughout our community because
of the passing away of one who was
closely connected with it's interests, and
who filled place of prominence. Ed
wards I. Smith died at his home in this
village on the morning OF March 8, after
an illness of several menths. He has
been life long resident here. Unlike
many young men he preferred to re-
main in his native town. He has been
connected with the railroad business for
some time, and four years ago he was
appointed station agent in place of his
father who resigned at that time. A
business that requires promptness,
faithfulness, patience, slertness, all
these qualities Mr. Smith possessed, and
and was consequently successful. OF q
| remarkably genial and cheerful dispo-
sition, though quiet and unassuming in
manner, be was a leader in the social
circle and made many friends. He was
a member of the Cong1 church, q faith
full worker in the Sunday school. the
Endeavor society and wherever needed.
On account of failing health he retired
from business hoping that after few
weeks rest he would be restored, but
disease had strong hold and the young
life that had been SO full of hope and
usefulness has ended. To the sad
hearts of wife. of parents and brother,
and the friends who mourn for him, the
iofuence of his life will remain q prec.
ious memory. The funeral was attend.
