Mrs. Maria Smith passed away peacefully at 6:10 Saturday afternoon at her home, 324 East Fourth street, at the age of 81 years. She suffered a stroke of paralysis a week ago last Tuesday and was unable on account of the infirmities of age to survive the shock. She was the widow of the late James Smith and was born at Limerick, Ireland, July 25, 1820. She had lived in Davenport since 1856. The surviving children are four sons and four daughters, Robert Smith of Chicago, John T. Smith of Kansas City, George Smith of Minneapolis, and Albert J Smith of Davenport, Emma M., Lucy S. and Effie M. at home and Mrs. Pierce Burke, also residing in this city. Robert F. and John T. Smith arrived in the city yesterday.

The funeral will be held Monday morning at 9 o'clock at St. Anthony's church, with interment at St. Mary's cemetery.
