DROPS DEAD FROM HEART FAILURE
William E. Smith Summoned Into Eternity After Very Short Illness

The suddenness with which death came to William E. Smith last Sunday was a great shock to the community.

Mr. Smith had been subject to heart trouble for about a year, but was not thought to be in a dangerous condition. On Tuesday of last week he was taken sick so that he was unable to leave the house, though not confined to his bed. At two o'clock Sunday morning he attempted to cross the room from his chair to the couch, with his mother's assistance, but just before he reached it he fell to the floor, with his mother's arms about him. Help was hastily summoned, but an examination showed that death had been instantaneous.

The funeral was held from the home Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, with Rev. Prentice officiating. Interment was made in the southern cemetery. Owing to the poor train service, very few friends from out of town could attend these services.

William E. Smith was born in Maple Forest, Crawford county, February 25, 1888. He moved with his parents in 1895 to Central Lake which has since been his home. He is survived by his parents, Mr. And Mrs. William H. Smith and two sisters, Mrs. Roy Rushton and Miss Gertrude Smith, all of this village. Mr. Smith was thirty-four years of age and unmarried.

Much sympathy is felt for the bereaved family, especially the mother who had always been the dearest of chums to her son and whose recent sickness makes her ill fitted to bear the blow. Mr. Smith had a host of friends roundabout who will miss him greatly."
