DR. C. SMITH, LARGE PROPERTY OWNER IS DEAD
Former Well Known Davenporter Passes Away at Home in Omaha

Dr. Charles E. Smith died at his home in Omaha Saturday, according to a message received here by W. R. Weir.

Dr. Smith, a former Davenporter, was the owner of the three story brick building on the south side of Third Street, between Brady and Main, formerly occupied by the Peoples Light company and for a time by the American Commercial and Savings Bank during the erection of its new building. In earlier years it was the home of A.J. Smith and Son, a big local furniture concern.

The deceased was born in Davenport 64 years ago, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Smith. He was a dentist by profession and followed this vocation in Omaha after leaving Davenport some 25 years ago. His wife preceded him in death a number of years ago, as also, did a brother, Will Smith. Surviving are two daughters.

Funeral services and burial will take place in Omaha Monday.
