The final paragraph of Ezra Leonard Smith's obituaries at Ezra Leonard Smith (1837-1921) - Find A Grave Memorial states:
Mr. Smith had thought much upon the proper manner of disposing of the remains of our loved ones and became convinced that cremation was the better way and requested that his body be cremated and his ashes scattered on the waters of the Columbia River. His wish was complied with and the bodies of those long buried were disinterred and treated in the same manner. Mrs. Jessie Smith Watt passed away in 1925 and her body cared for in the manner chosen by the father.
