SMITH. Of old age, Bro Nehemiah D. Smith, Febrary[sic] 7th,1880, at the residence of his son, Henry C. Smith, in Lamoni, Decatur county, Iowa, aged 82 years and some months.

He was a firm believer in Christ for 60 years, and blessed with the prayer of faith for the sick prior to his receiving the latter day work in 1868. He died in peace, praising the name of the Lord.

He leaves a wife, children and grandchildren to mourn his departure. Peace be to them. Like the “shock of corn that is fully ripe” this brother has been gathered in. Services by Elder Z. H. Gurley, Eccl. 12:7.
