LONG LIFE ENDS--MRS. JANE C. SMITHSON PASSES AWAY NEAR LAFAYETTE -- Mrs. Jane Campbell Smithson died Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. C. H. Bagby, near Lafayette. She was 90 years old on April 25th last, and her birthday celebration was attended by all of her children, eight in number and several friends. Mrs. Smithson's health had been excellent, considering her advanced age, up to the day before the end came and her death was very sudden.
The deceased was born in Londonderry, Ireland, April 25, 1823, and came with her parents to America when three years old, settling in Virginia.
Her husband who served in the Confederate army during the Civil War, was a prisoner at Point Lookout, Maryland, and shortly after the surrender, was paroled, but died at Richmond, Virginia, enroute home. Mrs. Smithson moved to Christian county in 1869, where she had since resided.
For some years she made her home with Mrs. W. E. Adcock, one of her daughters, but for the past several years she has resided with Mrs. Bagby, another daughter.
Eight children survive. They are Mrs. Adcock, Mrs. Bagby, Messrs. J. A., T. A., C. W. and L. H. Smithson, all of this county, and Mrs. N . L. Turner, of Guthrie, and Rev. John O. Smithson, of Leitchfield, Kentucky.
She had long been a member of the Presbyterian church, holding membership at Newstead, and was a lady held in the highest esteem by everyone.
Her funeral services were held at Westminster church, this city, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Rev. J. C. Tate, of Clarksville, and the remains were laid to rest in Riverside cemetery.
