I came across this in some papers given to me--it's from the Marshall Mountain Wave, November 11, 1911 (11-11-11!!) P.H. Smyth died at his home in Marshall last Sunday afternoon after a short illness. He had been in tolerably bad health for some time, but had been able to be about until 3 or 4 days before his death. The remains were interred in the Marshall Cemetery at ten o'clock Tuesday morning in the presence of a large crowd of relatives and friends. The Masons attended in a body and went through with their burial rites. P.H. Smyth was born in Weakley County, West Tennessee on November 18, 1838 and would have been 73 years old had he lived until the 18th of this November. He was married in 1958 to Mary W. Nowlin, who survives him. To this union were born 14 children, eight or whom are still living. S.M., R.S., Mrs. Florence Holder, and R.C. live in and near Marshall; P.W. and C.W. live at Maud, OK; P.H. at Seminole, OK; and Mrs. Belle Thomas at Frisco, OK. "Uncle Pink" as he was familiarly known, came to Lonoke, now Prairie County in 1870. From there he moved to Boone Co. in 1874, and in the fall of the same year moved to Searcy County. For many years he resided on Bear Creek, moving to Marshall only a short time ago. He was a Confederate soldier and was wounded at the battle of Shiloh. He had been a farmer all his life and had made a comfortable living. He was a Royal Arch Mason. Being of kind and cheerful disposition, he had many friends, who sympathize with the immediate relatives on acount of the death of this good old man.
