Mrs. Mary E. Smith, aged 68 years, died at her home, 1019 North Liberty Street, this morning at 4:15 o'clock following a nervous breakdown, during which period the pioneer resident was confined to her bed for the past three weeks.
Mary E. (Snyder) Smith, daughter of Mary Ann and Harmon Snyder of Rush Township, was born in the rural district in 1855, coming to this community as a girl of 18 years, having accepted employment at the home of "Uncle Billy" Marshall, prominent citizen of the early town.
She was married to Sylvester A. Smith, son of James Smith, in Riverside in 1878, man and wife coming to Shamokin, where they made their future home. The husband, Sylvester, preceded his wife to the grave forty one years ago and was the son of the town's only auctioneer at the time, having residence in the frame property adjoining the Wallish tailoring establishment with business quarters at the present location of the Elks Cafe.
Mrs. Smith was one of the pioneer members of the Lincoln Street Methodist Church, faithful in her Christian duties and beloved by a wide circle of acquaintances. One daughter and one son, residing at home, are the immediate survivors. They are Mrs. Blanche Williams and Walter S. Smith. Three sisters and two brothers also survive, namely; Mrs. Harry Neihoff, Mrs. John Fisher, Mrs. Charles Miller, of Shamokin; Harmon Snyder, of Riverside, and Philip Snyder, of Northumberland.
The funeral services will be conducted from the home by Rev. George S. Womer, the details of which will be announced later.
