Adair County Hero, who died for
liberty in France.
The subject of this sketch was born
and reared two and half miles north
of Columbia, about thirty-four years
ago, and was one OF Adair county's
noble sons who gave up his life on the
battlefieldS of France that the princi-
piles of humanity and Democracy in
the world might be safe guarded; and
that the honored traditions of our ma
tion might be perpetuated. While l
would that the writing of this sketch
might never have been occasioned yet
L feel that it is duty that they who
have known Deed Smith and have
been associated with him often dur
ing his life, owe to his memory,
In seeking the friendly columns of
our county paper as means of con-
vey ing to the minds Of the public my
recollections of this splendid friend
and neighbcr and our appreciation of
the sacrifice that he made for our
country, l am sure that am voicing
the sentiment of the entire commu-
nifty, where Deed spent the few short
years of his life. In his quiet and
unassuming way Deed was not one
to attract special notice from those
who had only passing acquaintance
with him. But those who knew him
and were associated with him soon
came to appreciate his many sterling
qualities and his upright and honor.
able dealings with everyone at al
times. Deed was fond of fun, and
was gifted with a rare sense of wit
and humor that assured him a gooG
welcome on every occasion and that
caused him to be popular with every
one. Yet with his fun he was never
boisterous or ungentle, manly in hi:
demeanor. 1 played with Deed wher
we were little school boys, hunted anC

never knew him to do or say anything
that could cause harm to anyone
Had Deed been permitted to com,
