> > Crawfordsville Daily Journal, Saturday, December 29, 1905 DEATH OF PROMINENT FARMER William Lambert Smith Died of Stomach and Heart Trouble William Lambert Smith, a prominent and highly respected farmer, who resided near Lapland, died Friday afternoon, aged nearly fifty-nine years, of stomach trouble and heart failure. During the past summer his health has gradually failed and he has become weaker and weaker until death relieved him. He was twice married, having been united in marriage with daughters of Thompson Davis, Eliza A. Davis, the first was the mother of five children. One girl, who is now dead, and four sons. The latter are all living and reside either in this or Boone counties with one exception. Wallace Smith lives in Seattle, John Smith, Abner Smith, and Oscar Smith are the other children of the first marriage. His second wife was Jessie M. Davis and to them four sons were born. All of these and both wives died some years ago and since that time Mr. Smith has resided with his children. In politics Mr. Smith was what may be called an independant voter as he voted for the man rather than the party. He was an exemplary citizen and had hosts of friends. He was an active member of the G. A. R. post at Parkersburg, a member of the Christian church at the same place and a member of Montgomery lodge of Masons in this city. His funeral will occur at the home near Lapland Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Burton, of Roachdale, officiating. The Masons of this city will have charge of the burial services. Internment at masonic cemetery.
