Mrs J.N. Smith
The death occurred at Almonte on Thursday, May 13th, of Mrs J.N. Smith, aged 83 years. She had been in failing health for some time and an accident which resulted in a fractured hip some weeks ago, hastened the end. She was born in this town and was the former Lillian Manning, a daughter of the late Rev J. Manning and Mrs Manning. Her father was pastor of the Baptist Church, here, for many years and later removed to Toronto, where he was chief license inspector of the Province, a position to which he was appointed because of his strong temperance convictions. The late Mrs Smith was educated in the local schools and like many young ladies of that day, showed considerable talent as an artist. About 1883 she married Mr John N. Smith who predeceased her in 1936. Mrs Smith was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church and for many years was active in its organizations. She leaves one son, Lieutenant Commander Wm Manning Smith of the American Navy, whose home was in New York but is now stationed at Hingham, Mass. She was predeceased by three brothers and two sisters, namely, James who lost his life some 53 years ago with Dr Mostyn of this town when a boat in which the two of them were returning from Appleton, capsized; Walter and A.H. of Clinton, Ont; Mrs E.W. Smith (Elizabeth) of Almonte; Mrs (Dr) Thomas Amos (Laura) of Exeter, Ontario. The funeral was held from the Comba Funeral Home, Saturday afternoon to the Auld Kirk
