| Text | Grace Hefley Smalley, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B.B. Hefley, old time and highly respected citizens, died at the home of her estimable parents, six miles south of Cassville, Saturday, following an extended illness with tuberculosis. She was born July 16th, 1893 and passed away Nov. 4th 1927. On Sept. 12, 1909, she was married to James J. Smalley of near Cassville, to which this union two daughters were born, who survived and are, Larrayne and Margaret. At the age of thirty, she was converted during a meeting conducted at Aurora, Mo., by Rev. Goodnight, uniting with the M.P. church at that place. She bore her suffering patiently and everything possible was done in her behalf, but all efforts were in vain. In her efforts to regain her health, she went to Colorado, Arizona, but she failed to show much improvement. On various occasions she expressed herself as being willing and ready to answer the call from above and in some instances, said she would be glad to go. Impressive funeral services were conducted Rev. Goodnight and Scott at the Corinth church, after which remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near her home, under the direction of Brandford’s Funeral Service. Among those from a distance that attended the services, were: Mr. and Mrs. Guy Dunn, Mr., and Mrs. Ed Turner, Mrs. Vadie Wagnon, Mrs. Emma McCullah, Miss Maggie Lear, Miss Jewel Nuvens, Mrs. Bennett and son, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Jacques and family, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Muench and family, Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Mills, Mrs. Heath Berney Copeny, Mrs. Avery and family, Ren Scott and son, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Bradley and family of Aurora., Mr. and Mrs. A Chann and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Orville Wisely of Wheaton, Mrs. Mintie Wallen, Fairland, Okla., Mrs. Virgil Newman, Webb City, Mrs. Mattie Baker and daughter of Monett, Mrs. Will Wheeler Hockerville, Oklahoma, Arthur Barner and children of Kansas City and Ora Hawood of Purdy. The deceased was a kind and loving character and will be sadly missed by her large number of relatives and friends of this community where she was born and raised and spent practically all of her life. In addition to her grief stricken husband and two daughters, she leaves her splendid father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Hefley and a brother, Frank Hefley of near this city. The Democrat joins the many friends of both the Smalley and Hefley families in extending sincere sympathy in their sad hour of bereavement.
