Blanchard Smith, who died at his home in the Baptist parsonage April 26, was born in Rutland July 27, 1863. He moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Smith, to Hudson, Mass., at the age of 7. He was a graduate of Columbia university. His father was a shoe manufacturer and musician. At an early age the son showed unusual musical talent, and played the pipe organ at the age of 14. He later graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music. He continued his musical studies in Europe and was at one time orchestra guest conductor in Paris. His health becoming impaired he went to the West and spent several years in camp life among the Sierras. Having recuperated from ill health he went to the Pacific coast, where for 17 years he was active in musical work. He founded a school in Dayton, Wash., which became the largest of its kind in that section of the country. He was county supervisor of music and conducted orchestras, glee clubs and church choirs. He traveled with several evangelists as musical director and was himself ordained into the Christian ministry. During the World war, he enlisted in Y.M.C A. work and was a secretary in France for 18 months. At the close of the war he was commissioned lieutenant in salvage work. After he returned to the United States he founded the Boston School of Harmony for teachers only. His keyboard system of harmony was copyrighted. On May 14, 1923, he married Miss Eva Bailey of Readsboro. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Smith lived in Hoosac and Petersberg, N.Y., before coming to Wardsboro in the fall of 1934. Although ill health prevented him from extensive musical work here he was ever ready to give assistance to any who came to him for musical instruction. He taught music in the public schools free of charge and conducted an excellent musical program by the school children in the town hall last Memorial day. Since Feb. 3 Mr. Smith had been instructor of music in a CCC camp in Wilmington. He was taken ill at the camp and returned to his home on April 24. Angina pectoris was followed by pneumonia which caused his death two days later. He leaves his wife and one brother, Clarence Smith of Cassadaga, Fla. Funeral services were held at the home. Rev. Mr. Keeler, a former pastor of Latham, N.Y., assisted Rev. Mr. Bruvold of this town. Two duets, Lead, Kindly Light, and Shadows, were beautifully rendered by singers from Wilmington. There were many floral tributes. A delegation was present from the CCC camp, four of whom served as bearers. Burial was in Riverview cemetery in Wilmington. The Brattleboro Reformer, 23 May 1936
