" DIED

SMITH-At the residence of S. W. Smith, her son, in Lindina, April 18, 1885, Mrs. Eliza Smith, aged 74 years, 6 months, wife of Rev. Joseph Smith.
Mrs. Smith was born in Birmingham, England, September 14, 1810, married to the husband, with whom she has lived more than half a century, May 28, 1830. The family came to America in 1842, landing in Milwaukee, July 4th of that year. They lived in Racine County, twenty years and have since resided in Mauston.

She was a consistent member of the Congregational Church for fifty-four years, and her death was like one dropping away in sleep. Her husband survives her, and children, Samuel W., and Joseph T. Smith of Lindina, Alfred Smith, of Yan Hill [sic], Oregon, Mrs. E. Fluno, Mauston, and Mrs. B.O. Palmitter, Elroy.
