Albert L. Smith, 49 years old, of Memphis, Tenn., died of a tetanus infection Wednesday night in St. Joseph Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

Crump of Cape Girardeau, Mrs. Elmina Stovall of Whitewater and Mrs. Rose Young of Ste. Genevieve.
He was born Aug. 29, 1895 at Tilsit and when 19 years of age started working for the Frisco Railroad. He later worked for the Missouri Pacific Railroad and was yard foreman for that system at the time of his death.
He had worked for the Frisco as a brakeman at Chaffee and later moved to St. Louis, where he resided for 20 years. He then moved to Memphis, Tenn., where he had lived for the past eight years. He was a member of the Baptist Church in St. Louis, a member of the Masonic Lodge at St. Louis and Memphis and of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen.
