AGED NATIVE OF CITY DIES Mrs. Hettie Smith, 77 years of age, one of the pioneer residents of the community, died at midnight Saturday night at her home, 825 West 2nd Street. While she had been in failing health for some time, her condition had been critical only since Thursday. "Aunt Hettie" as she was known to her hundreds of friends, was a woman of remarkable physical strength for her age. She had been in three accidents in the past few years that had resulted in broken bones but had recovered from all of these and was able to be about her home. A few years ago a horse she was driving ran away with her, throwing her from the buggy and fracturing her hip. She recovered from this accident and was working in the yard of (her) home when a heavy gate struck her and broke her arm. Later she received a fracture of the other arm in a fall at her home. Last Thursday she became suddenly ill, and her condition gradually grew worse until her death Saturday night. She had been a lifelong resident of this city and was the widow of the late James Smith, contractor, who died several years ago. She was a faithful member of the Fairview Methodist Church, attending all of the church services whenever her health permitted. The church has lost one of its more faithful and active members in her death. Survivors are two daughters, Mrs. Otis Huff and Mrs. Minnie Stewart; two sons, Edward and Walter Smith; one brother, William Gardner; four sisters, Mrs. Nancy Daniels, Mrs. Amanda Prow, Mrs. Anna Rice and Mrs. Mat Kaser, nine grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at 1:30 PM Tuesday from the Fairview M. E. Church with the Rev. W. F. Russell in charge. Interment will be in Rose Hill. Pallbearers: John Womack, Bert Hannum, Carl Mathews, Homer Jones, Clarence Ellis and Mason Rhodes.
