W. Smyley, aged 64 years. His death was caused by heart disease, and was very sudden; he seemed to be in usual health, but as he was preparing to retire, fell across the bed lifeless. He had served in the Confederate Army, in Co. "A" Lewis Battalion; had been a member of the Baptist Church since early manhood; was a cheerful, whole-souled man, and kind neighbor. He leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his loss; and will be sadly missed in his church and neighborhood. It is hoped that his wife, who was sick at the time of his death, may soon recover from the shock, and that the loving Father may help her bear this sorrow, looking forward to a happy meeting in that home that knows no parting.
