Elizabeth Katherine (Etter) Smith was born in Germany, October 13, 1831, died January 26, 1911 aged 79 years, 2 months and 13 days.
She came to America at the age of 24 years and was married to Michael Smith in Louisville, Kentucky, 1855. They moved from there to Yorktown, Indiana and moved from there to Missouri.
Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, three of whom are still living, two sons and one daughter. The two sons, Jacob B. and John V., are residents of this part of the country while the sister makes her home in Kansas.
The funeral services were held Friday, January 27 in the Burr Oak church, conducted by her old friend and neighbor, Rev. R. Barrett.
Mrs. Smith was one of the good Christian women, of which the world is so generously supplied, and of which we might say "is the salt of the earth." Like all good mothers, there never was anything too hard for her to do, that would give comfort and pleasure to her loved ones, or even to her friends and those with whom she lived. In the departure of Mrs. Smith, we can truly say, "a good woman in Israel has died."
