DEATH OF MISS CLARA SMITH AT STROUD ON 16th
At 2 a.m. July 16th, Miss Clara Smith died at her home near Stroud. She had been in feeble health most of her life but had been seriously ill only two weeks. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Peter Smith and was a member of the Mount Pisgah Primitive Baptist church where the funeral and interment occurred Thursday afternoon. The deceased was the first member of a large family to be called by death. She was greatly loved by the family and esteemed by all who knew her.

Death always sends a sadness into our hearts. The writer was saddened when she received the news Saturday that Miss Clara Smith, of Welsh, was dead. Miss Clara was a good girl and bore her afflictions all through her life with patience. God has given her sweet rest. My sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones.

In Memory of Clara Smith.
Clara Annie Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Smith, was born April 22, 1890, and died at the family residence near Stroud, July 16, 1925.
She was a member of Mount Pisgah Primitive Baptist Church, having been a member for twenty years, and had lived a beautiful consecrated Christian life.
The deceased had been afflicted since she was 11 years of age, but was only confined to her bed for two weeks. She bore her suffering without a complaint. Every possible effort was made by parents, doctors and friends, but all the medical skill and attentive nursing failed. God needed her most and called her away to her beautiful home above.
She carried sunshine and cheerfulness with her wherever she went. Her sweet disposition won her many friends and those who knew her best were the ones who loved her most. It was so hard for us to give her up, yet we know we have to be submissive to God's will in everything.
How we miss her smiling face and cheerful voice, but we may find comfort in the thought that Clara's sufferings are over and she was ready to go to that beautiful place prepared for her by the Lord. Another comforting thought that by faith and through the love and mercy of the Savior, we, too, may go to dwell in that mansion beyond the skies, where there will be no more doubts and fears, no more trials and heartaches, no more death and separation. There will be a reunion with loves ones and an endless life of peace and joy and praise for the Lord, "who doeth all things well."
Ones who loved her,
Geneva and Addie
