OBIT:
William Smith, for years a prominent citizen of the Hartsville neighborhood, died at his home in Hartsvile early this morning at the age of eighty-six years. He had been ill for the past several months.

Mr. Smith was born in Butler County, Ohio, and came to Bartholomew County in 1845. The rest of his life was spent in and around Hartsville.

No children survive, but there are two grandchildren, one living now at the Smith Home.
