Obituary for:
Mrs. George SMITH - Lena (MILLER) SMITH
The Bryan Press, Nov. 29, 1934
The deceased, Mrs. Lena SMITH, was the daughter of Wilhelm and Christina MILLER. She was born Feb. 27, 1861, in Ihringen, Germany. (Note: her death certificate gives her day of birth as the 2nd of Feb.?) In her infancy she was made a child of God through the sacrament of Baptism. At the proper age she was confirmed in the Lutheran faith. She came to America in the year 1882 and was married to George SMITH on May 17, 1885. To this union were born six children, two of whom died in infancy and one at the age of 25 years. On March 20, 1931, her husband preceded her in death. Always having been rather frail, her health failed more and more from then on, so that she was confined to her home most of the time and to her bed some of the time. About the first of August of this year she became bed-fast and her condition was such that the end seemed to be at hand on a number of occasions but she always rallied for a time. At such times she again and again expressed her desire to be "absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord." Her petition was granted when on Saturday evening, November 17, at seven o'clock the Lord called her soul of this world, as we confidently hope, to her eternal home in the heavens, st the age of 73 years, 8 months, and 21 days. There remains to mourn for her three children, Ernest SMITH and Emelia ELSER of Ney, and Frieda MULLIGAN of Bryan; one brother, William MILLER of Edgerton, 12 grandchildren and one great-grandchild, and other relatives and friends.
