WILL SMITH DEAD
Will Smith, the nine year year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton W. Smith, died Monday morning at 4 o'clock after an illness of about 2 weeks, with throat trouble. Two weeks, ago, Mrs. Smith returned with the children from a visit to relatives in Atlanta. The little fellow was sick a day or two before leaving Atlanta and on the way home he told his mother his wanted something done to his throat when he got home. An examination of his throat then showed, the tonsils being badly swollen. Dr. J. M. Anderson was called in the next day and every medical attention was given him, specialists from Atlanta being called into consultation but he grew constantly worse until death came to relieve him of his suffering.
Will Smith, as everyone knew and called him, was an exceptionally bright and good boy and his death was unusually sad. There was every promise in him. His devoted parents would have afforded every opportunity possible for a successful and useful career. Every one who knew him loved him and always spoke to him where ever they was him. He was fond of his Sunday School and was always present when it was so e could attend.
The funeral service was held at the home on Greenwood Street, Tuesday morning, and was conducted by Rev. J. O. Grogan, after which the body was tenderly laid away in the cemetery on Zebulon Street.
The deepest and tenderest sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and the other relative over the sad death of the dear little boy.
