Great Improvement On Plot of Land
Near Track-Death of Mrs.
George p. Smith-Locals.

(Mrs. E. ]. Blodgett. CorrespOndent)
One Of the most effective things the
Village Improvement Society has done
for a long time is the improvement of
the strip of land just east of the rail-
road track south of the station. This
has been something of an eye-sore to
the public for a long time as 1t is in
such a prominent location and the So
ciety has now plowed it up. rolled,
graded and seeded it. and will make
Of it an attractive strip of parking.
Charles Darling has had the ground
around his house graded and will also
put in new walks and a good lawn.
Now If some way can be devised OF
keeping the public off from this inn
proved land, it will certainly add much
to the appearance of the whole square.
The many friends Of Mrs. George p.
Smith were greatly surprised and
shocked to learn of her sudden death,
which occurred last Wednesday night.
She had been i'll about ten days with
an attack of the grip. but was not
thought to be in a dangerous condi-
ton. Her daughter, Mrs. Frank w.
Thompson was with her, also her sis
ter-in-law, Mrs. Fred Bundy. Tues
day and Wednesday she seemed to be
in a stupor and much troubled by
shortness of breath At the last she
passed away almost Immediately,
heart failure being the cause of her
death. Funeral services were held at
her late home on Saturday and con-
Quoted by the Rev ]. J. Hutchinson
There was a large attendance and
many flowers. The members of the
Eastern Star Chapter attended in a
body, as Mrs. Smith was a very de-
voted member of this order. Annette
Bundy was a native of this town, born
in Lyndon 76 years ago. She was mar
ried to George p. Smith So years ago.
Their golden wedding day was cele-
brated in the Masonic hall in 1918.
The first few years of their married
life were spent in Burke. Mr.. Smith
went to California intending to locate
there, but after the death of his broth
er, Frank Smith, whom he cared for
as long as he lived he decided to re-
turn East and they moved to Lyndon
VILE which has been their home for
more than 80 years. Mr.. Smith was
in the hardware business here at the
time of the big fire, and was burned
out then. They had one daughter,
Helen, who is the wife of Frank w.
Thompson of Newport. Mrs. Smith
also leaves a half-brother, Fred Bun
dy of ST. Johnsbury. She was a good,
kind-hearted and capable woman, sue
cessful as a wife, mother, friend and
neighbor. social and cheerful, and was
universally loved and respected. She
was young mentally for woman of
her age. and kept well-informed and
interested in all the affairs of the day.
Gordon Campbell entertained about
a dozen of his young friends Saturday
afternoon from five to seven with a
Halloween party which was decidedly
enjoyed.
