Milford, Dec. 5.-Austin H. Smith, who died at the home of his son in Noble township, Cass County, on Wednesday of last week was a well known and long time resident of this vicinity and was universally esteemed for his kindliness and his high sense of honor. Mr. Smith died from consumption. He had been ill health for the past two or three years, but was confined to his bed but a short time. The closing hours of his life were without pain, and he was conscious up to the time of his death. He had been a resident of this vicinity 22 years. Mr. Smith was in his 71st year. He was a native of Ohio, being born in Greene county, March 28, 1823. When he was but a small child his parents moved to Galena, Ill. In the spring of 1834 his parents settled in Dubuque, this state, then a part of the territory of Wisconsin. Mr. Smith was married there Jan. 26, 1847, to Maryetta Estabrook. Whose death accrued three years ago. In 1852 Mr. Smith crossed the plains to California on a pack horse and was on the road 74 days. He engaged in mining in different parts of that state for some two years, when he returned to Iowa. In 1860 he went Pike's Peak, engaging in mining in Colorado, but only remained a short time, returning to Dubuque county, this state. In 1871 he moved to this vicinity, purchasing a 250-acre farm in the adjoining township of Noble in Cass county, and resided in this vicinity until his death. To Mr. and Mrs. Smith 11 children were born, eight of whom are now living. Personally Mr. Smith was a most companionable and kindly man, true in his friendships, a willing and cheerful helper in every time of need. In all his business dealings he was honorable and just. He never intentionally wronged any person a penny's worth. He has gone to the grave mourned by all who knew him. Mr. Smith was a bright and enthusiastic member of the Masonic fraternity. He joined Cascade lodge, No. 127, A. F. & A. M., in Dubuque county in 1864. After moving to this locality he was an active factor in the organization of Centennial lodge, No. 273, at Milford, and was one of its charter members. It was his boast that he had attended every meeting at the Masonic grand lodge of Iowa since 1870. Many of the most happy hours of his life were passed in the lodge room, and he never missed a meeting if he could possibly be present without disregarding duty to himself or some one depending on him. The community has lost one of its best citizens and the Masonic fraternity a most devoted and never tiring worker in the death of Mr. Smith. He lies at rest beside his wife at Milford cemetery, where he was laid by loving hands of brother Masons. The funeral was held last Saturday. Rev. C. E. Maine preached the funeral discourse.
