Memorial resolutions on the death
of Mrs. Eleanor Weber Smith.
With profound sorrow we note the
departure of Mrs. Eleanor Weber
Smith, which occurred Thursday,
April 1, 1909 at her home, "Meadow
Grove Farm"
Though in poor health for many
years her death was shock to the
family and friends.
Mrs. Smith was ever ready to give
assistance to any good cause and in
social way did all that her health
and time would allow for the moral
uplifting of humanity
A sympathetic and industrial wo-
man, loving wife, self-sacrificing
mother, a faithful friend has passed
to her reward.
There is no death; an angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent
tread,
He bears our best loved things away
And then we call them dead"
The deceased was born in Oak
land county, Mich, Sept. Z, 1885.
She removed to Shiawasse county
with her parents, sisters and broth
ers more than fifty years ago. Hen
marriage to w. H. Smith was solem-
nized on January 10, 1868. She had
been a member of the little church at
the Goss about thirty years.
Besides her husband she leaves
two daughters, Mrs. Emma Gates and
Miss Grace Smith.
A large congregation of friends
gathered to pay their last tribute of
respect to one whose life had been
so marked by deeds of kindness and
words of good cheer, and encourage
ment for all. 1t was an inspiration
to those with whom she was associat-
ed.
