Sudden Death of James Smith-Soeial
Evening at St. Louis CIub-T. A. 3.
Society Elects officers-other Mat
ters.

The many friends of James Smith
were surprised Sunday to hear of
his death which occurred at his home
No. South A street, some time dur
ing Saturday night. The cause of his
death was heart disease. He had been
troubled with rheumatism at inter-
walls for number of years and when
he came home Saturday noon from the
Ponemah mills was feeling poorly but
when he went to bed at ten O'Clock
that night was as well as usual. When
his son, Frederick, called him for
breakfast Sunday morning he received
no reply and going to his room found
his father dead in bed.
Mr.. Smith was born in Glossop, Der
byshire, England, June 6, 1S4S, and
while living in GloSSop married Rachel
Watkinson. About 40 years ago Mr..
and Mrs. Smith came to this coun-
try, first living in Jewett City, where
he was employed in the Ashland cot
ton mills, and later coming to Taft
Vile where he has been employed as
loom f1xer in the Ponemah mills for
nearly % years. Mrs. Smith died eight
years ago. Mr.. Smith is survived by
three daughters, Mrs. Peter S. Wilson
of Norwich, Mrs. Mary A. Deccles of
Taftville and Mrs. William E. Jen-
nings of New Bedford. and one son,
Frederick Smith of Taftville. Several
brothers and sisters survive in Eng
land,
Mr.. Smith was a man of quiet dis
position and preferred the quiet of his
home to public life. In his work he
was always conscientious and pains
taking and gave his best efforts to
the work in hand. He held a high
place in the esteem of both his en-
ployers and fellow worHlnen. He was
a member of no organization except
the Loomfixers' union.
