But these early struggles made her resourcefa they
gave her courage and kind heart 80
In her broad human sympathy Grandma smith mas
been more individually useful in the upbuiding OF the COM

lived there. ,
She has been present at more births and deaths than
any doctor in the whole congressional district
She gave wise counsel and sound advice to the brides
Of the community.
She cared for their children when they came, and
while they were growing up-entertalnng them wth
tragedy as they gathered around her rocking chair mt

Grandma Smith has in her times cooked thousands

Of beds numbeess articles of clothing for the whole

And nearly all of what she did for others.
And from the time when first she came her hands
