Smith, an old resident of Albany, passed quietly away at 1:00 Wednesday morning, Nov. 5, 1890. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon and was largely attended. Mrs. Emily Pomeroy Smith was born at New Canaan, Columbia Co., NY April 27, 1814, and at death was aged 76 years, and 8 months. From early childhood she has been a professing and devout Christian, a close Bible student; and had gained a considerable knowledge of the scriptures. Always kind and hospitable, a devoted wife and loving, tender mother, she won friends on every side. With a bright smile to greet even her enemies, she showed forth the love and devotion which Christ stamps upon all who know Him and follow Him. Her father, for about 70 years, was a Methodist minister in one of the eastern conferences. She was married at Verona, Oneida Co., NY and came to Wisconsin in 1854 and settled at Exeter, Green Co., where they lived many years, finally locating in our beautiful little village of Albany. A husband and four children survive her, all of whom she has carefully tended and watched with motherly pride as they developed into man and womanhood and prospered in the commerce of the world or carved themselves a fortune from the storehouse of almighty God. Eugene Smith, the eldest son, is a prosperous manufacturer and jobber of Chicago, and is married with two children. Arthur Smith we all know as a businessman of Albany. He formerly owned and conducted the meat market business here. He also is married, with two children to bless and make home happy. Mrs. Emily Elizabeth Smith Fenton is the only daughter, and wife of one of Green County's most prosperous farmers, and blessed with three children. Their farm is near Attica. Pomeroy Smith, the youngest, of Chicago, is a man of business, connected with the S. A. Maxwell & Co., stationery dealers. He is married and has one child. He holds a very responsible position with the firm. A family to be proud of. Glorious has been her life, peaceful her death, death to the body, resurrection of the soul. She lived to see all her children beyond the period of young manhood and womanhood and until they were parents, and was the first of her generation to pass into the great unknown, where sorrow and sighing ceases and songs of joy begin: Long has she fought life's battles; Long 'neath its cares she stood; Until at last the summons came; That loosened her from pain.
