Tooth Birthday Yester-

SPENDS DAY QUIETLY

Miss Lydia Smith celebrated her
one hundredth birthday at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Handy, with whom she lives, yes
terday, November 1. To have COM
pleted century of life is an ac-
complishment reached by very few
persons, and in the memory of
those now living in Smyrna no one
else has ever achieved this goal.
Miss Smith, who was born near
Leipsic has lived in Smyrna for
the past fifty years. She was a
close friend of the Spruance fam
lily and lived with the late Miss
Mary Spruance for thirty-five
years. According to Mrs. Handy,
with whom she has made her home
for fifteen years, Miss Smith has
all of her faculties, is alert and
bright, and is interested in world
affairs, reading newspapers, mag
azines, and the books which have
interest for her. No special cele-
hration marked the anniversary,
which she spent quietly. She re-
ceived cards and gifts from
friends. Her only living relative,
DIR. Clarence Smith, of Philadel-
phia, comes to see her and takes
her out for a drive in his car at
intervals. Smyrna takes pride in
her centenarian, and the best wish
es of everyone goes to Miss Smith
at this time.
