decided to leave the old home and seek
new place Of residence. where there
would not be so many things before
him to recall the past. The other tragic
event was the death Of Mr.. Smiths
little son, who was accidentally shot.
The original plan Of Mr.. Smith was
to ship his household goods to Arthur
and take his family to the new home in
his automobile. The sudden change in
the weather caused Mr.. Smith to alter
his plans. and he went with his mer-
chandise car. leaving Tioton the day
before his death. Mrs. Smith and her
daughters Pauline and Margaret, had
left Cedar Rapids Tuesday afternoon
