On the morning of February 21, 1907, after an illness, which was very brief, Mrs. John Smith died at her home in Galesburg. At her bedside were her husband and four children, her three sisters, Jane, Ann, Gertrude and her brother, John Price.

Mrs. Smith’s maiden name was Nellie Price and she had spent the greater portion of her life in the vicinity of Galesburg. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Price, pioneers of that part of the county, who have already passed into the beyond.

Fifteen years ago, while residing at East Lynn, Missouri, she professed Christianity and has always lead an ideal Christian life. She has always been a devoted wife, a true mother and loving sister.

It was on September 11, 1883, that she was united in marriage to John A. Smith. This union was blessed with five children, four of whom are living, Rylie, Earl, Laura and Emma, who with the husband have only now the loving memories of a wife and mother.

The funeral was held from the Methodist Church in Galesburg, Rev. Cummins officiating. ~ The Newton (IA) Daily News, Wednesday, February 27, 1907, Page 1, Column 4
