Spirit of Democracy January 6, 1898 Obituary Notice Mrs. Margaret Smith was born in Washington county, Ohio, June 1854, and was a daughter of Jacob and Sarah J. Baker of Edwins, Ohio. On December 24, 1874, she was united in marriage to George W. Smith, who, with the following children, survives her: Emma, Mary, Rena, and Mrs. Annie L. David, at whose home she was when she was taken sick on last Thursday evening. The summons to join the silent majority came unexpectedly but peacefully at midnight, Saturday January 1. She was a member of the Christian church at Richfork. She was a faithful wife, a kind and indulgent mother, and an earnest christian, who had "done what she could," and when death came it found her ready to depart and be with Christ. She leaves to her children the rich heritage of a good example, and upon the community the impress of a consecrated life. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Cope of the M.E. church officiating. Sara Richardson Kelly no relation
