Notes - Obit:
Smith.-Mary, daughter of John and Mary Imhoff, was born near Spring Bay, Ill., Feb. 27, 1871. She spent her girlhood in the vicinity of Metamora. She came from a large pioneer family, being one of eleven children. On March 30, 1893, she was married to C. H. Smith at her parents' home near Low Point. They established their home near Metamora, later moving near Eureka, when they spent many happy years together on a farm. To this union were born 7 children, an infant son and daughter, Elmer and Ella, preceding him in death. Surviving are her companion and 5 children (Edw. L. of Chillicothe, Ill.; Martha, Lulu, Mrs. Ralph Ulrich, and Mabelle, all of Eureka); also 2 grandchildren (Roger and Carol Ulrich). About sixteen years ago they moved to their present home at the south edge of Eureka. Sister Smith, who up to last Friday had been about her usual home duties, took suddenly ill Friday night and was rushed to the hospital where an emergency operation was performed early Saturday morning. Not until this time was the seriousness of her condition realized. All that human hands could do was done to relieve her condition, but she gradually grew weaker until death relieved her of her suffering Monday, May 22, 1939. Her Christian life in home, church, and community will always influence those who knew her. In youth she accepted Christ as her Saviour and united with the Mennonite Church. She had a kind and loving disposition, and her greatest joy was her association with her family. She will be missed in the community as well as in the home.
"For though from out our bourne of time and place,
The flood may bear me far,
I know I'll see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar." [3]
