One by one the old settlers of Linn county -- the pathfinders of Old Historic Linn -- answer the final call of the Master. The latest one to pass over was Mrs. Mary Anna Smith, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Minnie Bagnall, in Iola Friday, December 27, at 11 o'clock a.m. Monday the remains were brought to Pleasanton for interment. That evening, after a short services at the grave by Elder J. W. Tucker, all that was mortal of this good old mother of Israel, and citizen of this country for almost sixty years was tenderly laid to rest by the side of her life companion, Adam Smith, who died September 5, 1898, and three children who preceded her.
Mary Anna Shoemaker was born in Greenup county, Kentucky, February 24, 1841; died in Iola Friday, December 27, 1918, age seventy-seven years, ten months and three days . At the age of twelve with her parents, Samuel Shoemaker and wife, for many years citizens of Pleasanton, she moved to Ohio. In 1859 she was united in marriage to Adam Smith, the same year coming to Kansas, locating on a farm three miles northeast of where no stands Pleasanton, continuing to live on the farm until her life companion passed over in 1898. To this union nine children were born, two dying iin infancy, George F., departing this life at the age of twenty-four years. The survivors are: Mrs. Frank Coppage of this place, Samuel Fred and Minnie Bagnell of Iola, Mrs. Ada Hobbs of Colville, Wash.; Carl Smith of Denver, Colo., and Effie Ramsower of Topeka. Mesdames Coppage, Bagnall and Ramsower, daughters, and son S. Fred, were at her bed side to comfort her during her last hours, and present at funeral services to pay last respects to their dear mother. Mrs. Smith's last words; "I want to go home," well represents her life. She untied with the M.E. church at an early day in life, and her thought throughout life was of home and her faith was strong in a future reward after death -- a home of rest and everlasting bliss.
In the death of Mrs. Smith a most worthy citizen has been called before her Maker. She was a despiser of sham? a faithful wife, mother and citizen and in her death the sons and daughters have lost a dear one whose place can never be filled.
To the sorrowing ones, the HERALD extends sympathy.
