Here's an obituary that was in the Ironton newspaper. Gen. Abraham Smith lived in Lawrence County, Ohio for a while, and then must have moved to Eddyville, Iowa. The obituary was copied from the Eddyville newspaper. - Jean Griesan Colorado Died in this city, July 23d, 1871, of a lingering illness, Gen. Abraham Smith, formerly a citizen of Quaker Bottom, Ohio, aged 71 years and 5 months. He lingered for many months with a painful illness which caused death at last. He has left a wife, two sons and four daughters, to mourn his loss, and many other friends, that did all they could to save life. But alas! what can mortal do, when death sets his pale signet upon the brow; we can draw near and wipe the cold sweat from the face, and feel for the last pulsation, and listen for the last breath, but this is all. The deceased was an honored and good man, very patient during his last suffering moments, so unlike to death, but like the calm setting of the sun as it gently sinks to rest upon its ocean pillow; the halo of resignation circled round his brow, and bathed his face in the light of immortal glory, chased away the gloomy shadow that fell around his bed as the angel of death waved his dark pinion there. His body now rests in the Eddyville cemetery. The night wind may moan over him and sing its death dirge; but alas! unnoticed by him. The tall grass may rustle in solemn grandeur at his ear, but unheard by him. The humid dews chill not his marble breast, nor disturb his calm and quiet rest. Thou dost not speak, no more the tones Of thy dear voice we hear, Yet thou dost speak in thrilling notes Most eloquent and clear. The bright example of thy life, True hearted; honest one, Tell us more than e'er you told, That Heaven at last is won. LIZZIE. - Eddyville (Iowa) paper. Ironton Journal, September 6, 1871
