DEATH OF MRS. SMITH
Occurred Last Night-funer-
al This Afternoon

Died, in Winnemucca, Nevada, Sun
day evening, November 1st, 1903, Mrs.
Margaret Smith. aged 78 years, and
8 days.
The circumstances attending Mrs.
Smiths death are unusually sad. But
few weeks ago she left her old home
in the East and came to Winnemucca
that she might spend her last days
with her son and only child, Mr.. w.
H. Curtis. who came here recently to
reside. It was hoped too, that the
change of climate might be benefit
10 her; but her advanced age and the
effects of the disease that had fasten-
ed itself upon her could not be over
come. Gradually she failed, and less
and less grew the hope that she
might regain strength until, yesterday,
she sank quietly and peacefully into
The long sleep that knows no waken-
ing.
Mrs. Smith was born near Athens,
Ohio. Most of her life was spent in
the central east. Beside Mr. Curtis
and family, there remains to mourn
her loss Miss Smith, her step-daugh-
ter, living here, and many relatives
scattered throughout the Eastern
states. She was one of the tenderest
and best of mothers, and memories
OF her deep and sincere interest in
her son will remain as long as life
the dearest and most priced heritage
she could have left. Upon arriving
in Winnemueca some weeks ago, sht
said to a friend that the journey hat
seemed long and hard to her, anC
that she did not expect to live through
it: but" she added. Il prayed con
stantly that l might live to see vii
again; my prayer was answered, ant
now I am ready to CO."

Smith were held at $3.50 from th'
