Obituary
Mrs. N. B. Smith
Mrs. Elvira C. Smith died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Adda Reed, at Rice Lake, Feb. 13, at the age of 68 years. The remains were brought to Kilbourn Thursday morning by her son, Dr. N.B. Smith, and her son-in-law, Homer Reed. At 10 o'clock funeral services were held in the Methodist church, conducted by the Rev. E. Trimmn, of the Portage Methodist church. The Woman's Relief Corps attended in a body, depositing their floral tribute on the casket according to their ritual service. A large number of the Eastern Star were also present, she having been a member of the Rice Lake Chapter. Many of her former neighbors, members of every church denomination in town, attended, almost completely filling the large auditorium. The funeral address by Mr. Trimm was eloquently suggestive of the nobility of the life just closed, and replete with the beautiful thought and exalting sentiment. Appropriate music was rendered by Mrs. Lora Snider, Mrs. H. A. Bauer and Mrs. D. T. O'Neil, in artistic vocal trios. The interment was in Spring Grove cemetery beside her husband.
Elvira C. Fedderly was born at Sacetts Harbor, N.Y., July 1843. Her father, Henry Fedderly, moved in 1854 to a farm near White Creek, where in 1863, she was married to Noyce B. Smith, who died in 1891. In 1881 they moved to Kilbourn, which was their home for 20 years, after which she had passed her life with her daughters in Rice Lake and Oklahoma, and her son in Kilbourn.
Mrs. Smith was prominently and actively identified with the Methodist church and the Woman's Relief Corps, two organizations eminently adapted to the exercise of the noblest, most helpful attributes of Christian character. In both of these relations her influence was ever present, a devoted true Christian, a sympathetic, voted true Christian, as sympathetic, charitable woman. To those in affliction and trouble she never failed to manifest a sweet charity and womanly sympathy that gave her a first place in the hearts of the whole community. Her home and home life was ideal. There as a wife and mother the exalted character of a woman was most evident.
The death of her husband occurred shortly after his appointment as postmaster, and by unanimous approval of the whole community she was appointed to the place.
Her son, Dr. N.B. Smith of Kilbourn, and his wife, had spent some time with her in the last weeks of illness, and he was there when the end came. Her daughter, Mrs. Minnie Drinker, of Oklahoma, spent some time here recently, but owing to impaired health was unable to attend the funeral. Her daughter, Mrs. Adda Reed, at whose home the closing days of life were spent, was also prevented by sickness from coming to Kilbourn. Another son, Guy, is out west and could not reach here in time. These are the only members of the family living. She leaves a sister at White Creek, Mrs. D.D. Smith, who attended the funeral. She also leaves two other sisters, Mrs. Wm. Campbell, Milwaukee, Mrs. E.J. Rice, Longmont, Col., and one brother, James Fedderly, in Seattle. Kilbourn Weekly Events.
