Obituary
Margaret Smith died at her home in the town of Buffalo on the 8th of June, 1910. Deceased was born in the highlands of Scotland on the 28th of April, 1827, she was at the time of her death 83 years, one month and ten days old. She was the daughter of John and Jeanette Brown, who came to the country in 1835, bringing with them six children, and settling in New York City. Margaret was married to Daniel B. Smith in 1848, by Rev. Mr. Wheelock of the Baptist church at New York; to this union eight children were born. They lived four years in the city of New York and one year in Detroit, Mich. Moving in the year 1855 to Wisconsin and settling on a farm in Buffalo, Marquette Co., which has been the home of the deceased for 65 years; an infant daughter died in 1855; her husband died in 1863, and one son laid down his life for his country in the war in the same year, also one son died in 1893. Deceased was baptized in the First Presbyterian church of Scotland. She leaves to mourn her departure five children: Mrs. John Campbell of Chippewa Falls; Mrs. John Willcox of Ft. Winnebago; Mrs. C. D. Strong, and John Smith, of Portage, and Edward Smith, of Pardeeville, all of Wisconsin. The three daughters were with her when she died, and all were at the funeral, which was very large and representative, and was held from the U. P. church on Friday at noon. The services were conducted by the Rev. McMillen , of Portage; not a few were the aching hearts and the tear dimmed eyes as loving hands laid the precious remains to rest, to await the resurrection morn.
Bold, outspoken and chivalrous for the right, she threw herself against the foes of God and humanity as only one of her strong nature can, or whether suffering temporary defeat or enjoying the fruits of toil and conflict, there was ever beaming on her face the same confident assurance of the ultimate and eternal triumph of right and truth. It may very emphatically be said of the deceased that of the many who have lived and died in this locality in the past 65 years no one has enjoyed a higher reputation for purity of personal character or possessed universally the public esteem. A woman of strong convictions, of unfaltering courage, of noble purpose and robust honesty, among the noblest elements of her life was her wonderful and tender devotion to her family, and her constant and untiring efforts to make them comfortable and happy. Born of parents who hold the faith of the Pilgrim Fathers, and her mother one of the strongest pillars of Presbyterianism in the community. Mrs. Smith was diligently educated in the doctrines of the Westminister Catechism, and was always a firm believer in their truths and showed many intellectual qualities of that noble and godly man, her first cousin, no less a personage than the late Rev. Henry Clay Turnbull.
The deceased will be greatly missed in this locality by both old and young, and we feel that we hold the pen of far too humble a writer to do justice to the memory of such a noble character as Margaret Smith. The splendid and costly casket was covered with flowers laid there by the hands of her grandchildren, six of whom acted as pallbearers.
Of our dear departed friend it can be truly said she possessed:
"Faith that will not shrink
When pressed by every foe
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe
A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without
That when in danger knows no fear
In Darkness knows no doubt
That did not murmur or complain
Beneath the chastening rod
But in our grief and pain
Could lean upon her God.”
