| Text | It is with feelings of deep regret that we chronicle the death of Rafe Smith of Oak Hill, Ark., at the home of his father, Ran R. Smith, near Fairview, Newton County, MO, March 19, of pneumonia, age 53 years, 7 months, and 10 days. He was born July 21, 1854, in Washington Co., Arkansas, and when a young man came to Barry County with his parents and located in Ash township where they resided a number of years; his father afterwards moving to Newton County. He left a wife and eight children to mourn his death. He was a brother of T. H. B. and Bay Smith of this county. The remains were laid to rest in the Rocky Comfort Cemetery at 4 p. m. March 19th. Rafe enjoyed a good reputation and he had the respect and confidence of all his acquaintances. At one time he lived near Eagle Rock. To the relatives we tender our sympathy. |
