Mrs. Nancy White Smith at 93
(Rolejgh TUnes)


The indomitable is and will remain
"A fine, soul filling expression Of a
quality and so we present for the
plaudits of Raleigh and Wake County,
and Johnston, Mrs. Nancy White
Smith, 93 years old on Sunday. When
it. came to indominability Mrs. Smith
lived all the syllablcs. Now, from
the vantage point of near century,
She can look back and laugh, where
many of US are inclined to mourn.
Mrs. Smith was one of those in
domltablc young women who tied up
her life with a Confederate Veteran,
back from the wars and from a
Yankee prison, in times when prison
was form Of vengeance instead of
reform.
On her own resources, she engaged
in an humble business, which grew
into something in the nature Of an in
stitution and made her friends by the
thousand and we do not care how
many dollars In that business she
put out the hard common-scnse, the
Willingness to sacrifice, and the JOY
Of helping to the point of charity
Concealed that points many of those
who take their Christianity seriously.
A great woman in sphere which
She enlarged by her will and capacity.
Perhaps she is Raleighs oldest
citizen. No matter how old or young,
there is no citizen in the community
worthy Of more honor.
