Read More	The Edgar Sun (Edgar, NE) Fri, Dec 9, 1927 - pg 1 Frank Smock Dies After Long Illness --- Funeral Services Held at Christian Church in Edgar Wednesday Afternoon At a time when it seems to man that one should begin to reap many of the comforts of life; the unseen voice called our dear one from our midst. It seems that his work here was not done; but after a determined battle with disease the tired and worn body gave up the fight of life and the soul went forth into a land not seen with human eyes. Charles Franklin Smock, the son of John M. and Sarah M. (Golden) Smock was born near Lostant, LaSalle County, Illinois, October 8, 1872, and departed from the scenes of of this life from the York hospital Sunday evening, December 4, 1927, 55 years, 1 month and 26 days, were his to enjoy this earth's life and fellowship. Father and mother Smock thought they saw the opportunity for a better chance to obtain a home in Nebraska than in the state in which they then lived and came to Nebraska and bought a part of the land now held by the Smock family. Since 1880 this has been the Smock home. On the 25th day of February, 1902 Charles Franklin Smock and Miss Agnes Alkire were united in marriage. Two boys, Lester F. and Howard Glenn, and a daughter, Myreta A., came to make this home happy and to bless it. When the fraternal side of the Modern Woodman of America as well as the protection was presented to Mr. Smock he allied himself with the ** and became one of the charter members of the Camp at Ong and remained identified with the organization until his passing. He was a man of deep convictions and was willing to go to any length to support these ideals. The thing that seemed to exasperate Mr. Smock most was to fail to make the physical reach the heights that his mind would carry to. Not only did this disgust him with himself; but it was a cross that was not easy to bear when he felt that his friends and acquaintance failed. This gave a side to his character that was not always understood. For the last three years Mr. Smock had been afflicted with the malady that eventually brought this earthy life to an end. In October of this year he broke his arm and later he suffered with the trouble called influenza or grip, these with the long standing malady and the weakened condition made the last fight a very discouraging affair, although he never gave up nor seemed to be discouraged. His father and a baby brother have gone on before him. His aged mother, who is ill at her sister's home at Wenona, Ill., his wife and three children, with a host of relatives and friends are left to mourn his going. Whittier says: "I know not what the future hath, Of marvel or surprise; Assured alone that life and death His mercies underlies. And so, beside the silent sea, I wait the muffled oar: No harm from Him can come to one On ocean or on shore" Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock from the Edgar Christian Church conducted by Frank J Sanborn, pastor of the Clay Center Christian Church , assisted by Rev Fred H Johnson, of the Edgar M. E. Church. Interment was made in the Edgar Cemetery. Contributor: Jan Plambeck (46975511) • [email protected]
