Death of Mrs. F. B. Smith.

Mrs. F. B. Smith died at her home in Randall, Sunday afternoon at 4:20, of consumption, with which she had been afflicted for several years. The funeral took place yesterday from the Randall Lutheran church and interment in the Jewell cemetery.

Mrs. Smith, who was formerly Miss Crosley, a sister of Druggist L. M. Crosley, of Randall, was but 29 years old at the time of her death, having been born at Liscomb, Ia. in 1877. She was married to Frank B. Smith at Hubbard, Ia., 1898. The past two years she had spent in California, in the hope of overcoming the disease which finally carried her away. Finding that she was not being benefitted by the change in climate she returned to her home a short time ago.
