GILFORD SMITH
Died, on Sunday night, June 5, 1910 at five o'clock, Gilford Smith,
at the age of seventy years, of yellow jaundice.
The deceased was born June 16, 1840 in the southern part of the
state and came to Clark County in 1870 and purchased eighty acres
of the old Happy Hutchins homestead and settled on it. Five years
later he was married to Miss Brasier of Hartford, who died about
twelve years ago. He left the farm and rented it several years ago
and moved to this village.
His is gone. Another name is stricken from the ever lessening roll
of our old soldiers. He met most of the conditions and situation of
life with a joke. He was a matter-of-fact man, but had his own
peculiar way of extracting merriment from life as it went along and
he was not disposed to worry about matters that could be bettered
in other ways.
His remains were taken to Hartford on Tuesday morning and laid
beside that of his wife. Arthur Darton of the town of Beaver
accompanied the remains.
