H. SMITH, LONG-TIME RESIDENT Passes Away Last Night at Omaha Hospital After Short Illness - - Long Active in City Last night, May 5, 1931 at 8 o'clock, at the Immanuel hospital at Omaha, occurred the death of Chester H. Smith, long-time resident of this city and one who had possessed to a marked degree the friendship of hundreds in the community where he had lived. The death of Mr. Smith came after a short illness as he was taken ill on Monday morning and hurried to the Immanuel hospital at Omaha where his condition was found to be very grave and while an operation was performed in hope of giving him relief it was useless and the patient continued to fail until death came to his relief. Chester H. Smith was born at Abingdon, Illinois, December 5, 1854, to Ephraim and Lucy (Hatch) Smith. He spent his boyhood days in that community, later coming to Nebraska in the early seventies and after a short time spent at Rock Bluffs, then a thriving river community, he moved to Plattsmouth and has since made his home here and has been a very active and useful citizen in the city. On locating here Mr. Smith entered into partnership with G. B. Chapman in a drug store and in this line of work he continued for a great many years, the firm later being changed to Smith and Black, his brother-in-law, Charles Black, being associated with him in the business and later Mr. Smith and C. H. Parmele engaged in the conduct of business for a number or years. With the election of William McKinley in 1896 Mr. Smith was appointed as postmaster at Plattsmouth and held this office for some ten years. Mr. Smith was active in the Republican political circles and was elected as city clerk in 1884 and always maintained a great deal of interest in the political life of the community. Mr. Smith was married in this city to Miss Nellie Black, a member of one of the pioneer families of the community and who, with the two daughters, Mrs. Jonas H. Teegarden of Brock, and Mrs. Robert. E. Sheehan of LaGrange, Illinois, survive his passing. One sister, Mrs Emeline L. Strode, of Lincoln, widow of former Congressman Jesse. B. Strode, also survives. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
