Final Summons Comes For DR.. X. l..
Smith In California

Death called DIR. r. l.. Smith De-
cember 10Th at the home of his son
Robert, in Los Angeles, California,
at the ripe age of Sc years, and nine
months. He was one of the best and
most widely known of that historical
colony of hardy pioneers who follow
ed the exit of the Indian and buffalo
from Hand county where they blazed
the trail for the generations that will
follow. He settled upon government
land in Riverside township, where he
secured ali OF the government entries
available at that time, homestead, re-
linquishment and tree claim in section
/. He purchased the other quarter,
aud improved the section, where he
lived with his family for many years.
Some ten or twelve years ago he
sold the farm and moved to Miller,
where he resided until recently.
The death OF DIR. Smith is a great
loss to the rapidly thinning ranks OF
Hand county's old guard of first set
tiers.
AS this writer has said OF him be-
lore, he wasa soldier, a scholar, a
gentleman, and a nan universally
lope6 by all who knew him for his
admirable traits of character. His
friends and neighbors in Hand county
had honored him by election to the
offices of county superintendent OF
schools, county commissioner, n
representative in the state legislature.
He was in the active practice OF
medicine for some years in Illinois,
but preferred to answer the call Of
nature to. the farm, where he enjoyed
life among his animals. on the prair-
les wide expanse, where nature
smiles back at man and beast in the
fullness of all her glory, where
friendships are sincere and sympathy
IS genuine. Ever an optimist, seeing
but the silver lining to each cloud,
he enjoyed his simple life to the full
attracted many warm friendships. and
gained the always enviable position
of the optimist, the good feeler,'
among all acquaintances.
His life was ripe with deeds of
kindness for his fellow man. He sery-
ed his day and time as few of us may
hope to serve, and now we reverent-
" bid him goodbye, as we close this
earthly record of a friend and neigh
Dor. confident that the Great Creator
who sent us such a character knew
our needs and will know the worth
while life that has Just been closed.
