MRS. MARQUIS E. SMITH Dies

Mrs. Marquis E. Smith, former Winterset resident, died at the home of her son, Marquis M. Smith at Crystal Lake, Ill., last Wednesday evening, Nov. 30th after an extended illness. Mrs. Smith had been in poor health, with heart trouble and complications for a number of years, but a severe stroke caused her sudden death last week.

Mrs. Smith, who was the former Marion A. McLeod, came to Winterset in 1894, following her marriage to Mr. Smith, who was a druggist here, and later cashier of the Winterset Savings bank. The Smiths made their home in Winterset until after his death in 1933. Since then she has resided with their only son and his wife in Oak Park, and later in Crystal Lake, Ill.

Mrs. Smith was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Winterset, and also of the Order of Eastern Star and the Woman's club.

In addition to the son, Mrs. Smith leaves a grandson, Marquis, III.

Brief funeral services were held followed by cremation last week. Burial will be in the Winterset cemetery next spring.
