Lillian Smith Sheboygan Press January 4, 1927

The community of Kiel was shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Harold Smith, nee Lillian Gartman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Mattes, of Kiel, which occurred last Wednesday at a hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida, following a brief illness of pneumonia. Mrs. Smith had been visiting relatives in Kiel and had left on her return trip to Florida only a few days previous to her illness.

Mrs. Smith was born in the town of Wilson on January 22, 1903, and graduated from the Kiel high school class of 1921. During the summer of that year she attended the Milwaukee Business College, and after completing her course there accepted a position with the J. N. McCord Company of Milwaukee. On December 12, 1922, she was married to Harold M. Smith, of St. Petersburg, and the couple made their home in Milwaukee, and spent the winter of 1923 in St. Petersburg with the parents of Mrs. Smith.

The survivors are the grieved husband, two sons, Winston aged 2 ½ years and Robert, aged 1 ½ years, her parents at Kiel, two brothers, Milton and Arvin, at home, and two sisters, Miss Linda, at home and Mrs. Irwin Wilson, of Milwaukee.

The remains were shipped from Florida to the Mattes home in Kiel and burial will be made in Rockville cemetery there. The day of the funeral is indefinite because of the illness of the two little boys of the deceased.
