Mrs. Wesley Smith Formerly Of Akron Dies In California

Advice has been received by the Akron Register Tribune, through one of her relatives, of the death several weeks ago of Mrs. Wesley Smith nee Carrie Pamela Thompson, at her home in San Paula, Calif., after a lingering illness. She was a niece of Mrs. B. F. Wintersteen and B. F. Round, formerly of Akron, and also the late Dr. R. D. Clark. She taught six consecutive years in the Akron public schools, and following her marriage to Wesley Smith, of Akron, lived at Lennox, S.D., where Mr. Smith was engaged in the newspaper business. Later they moved to San Paula, Calif., where she took a prominent part in church activities. She was born in December 1876, near Montello, Wis., and was the eldest daughter of the late Andrew Thompson, of Wessington, S.D. Many Akron friends of this fine character will learn with regret of her passing.
