AGED CITIZEN PASSES AWAY
Death Due to Heart Trouble and Other
Complications.

Mrs. Martin NJ Smith aged rs
years, died shortly before noon today
at her residence on Main street.
Death was due to heart trouble and
complication of diseases.
Up to a few weeks ago the deceased
was IN apparently good health and
pursued her usual duties. She was
a most earnest, active woman in this
community, where she was highly
esteemed.
For years she had worked hand-in-
hand with her husband and life part
ner, and to their combined efforts IS
due the success of a we'll established
and ably conducted bakery and con-
fectionery business.
Mrs. Smith was a staunch member
of st. Martins Lutheran Church. of
which she has always been an active
worker. She was generous to fault.
and contributed literally to all local
charities.
The Guild Of Mercy always found in
her warm friend, and her donations
to the poor and unfortunate were al
ways cheerfully given.
Besides her husband sho is survived
by stepson, MIR. Martin H. Smith.
Of New York, and a daughter, Mrs.
Augusta Watterscheidt.
In the past few years she has
lost by death three sons, one, DR.. Ru-

ago.
