DEATH OF MISS SMITH.

Martha I. SMITH, a woman who was well known in both city and county, died at the home of her brother, Z. T. Smith, on West Burlington Street, Saturday morning (sic - July 12th). She had been in failing health for several months. Miss SMITH was seventy-two years of age. She was a daughter of Hugh SMITH, a pioneer whose residence in this county dated back to 1838-9, and almost her entire life was spent here. She had been a resident of this city for perhaps forty years, and at one time conducted a millinery store here. She had many friends in this community. Funeral services were held Sunday morning at her brother's home, and the remains were taken that afternoon to the Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery in Liberty township for interment.
