Mrs. Smith had been bedfast practically all the time since last April but the last two weeks of her life she seemed to be improving and gaining strength and was up about the house last Wednesday and even insisted on helping a trifle with the work. About 2:30 Thursday morning she called to her daughter, Mrs. R.A. Shriner, and told her she had suffered a stroke an other other daughter, Miss Anna, was also called to her bedside. She conversed with them even after a physician arrived to minister to her. She was removed to the hospital Thursday noon as she grew weaker and her life ebbed slowly away but apparently without any suffering. Funeral services were held at the home at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon with Rev. C.I. Wilkens of Salem, S.D., in charge, assisted by Rev. T.H. Harding of the Associated church. Mrs. Mildred Anderson, with Mrs. Stella Lage as accompanist, sang two solos. Pall bearers were Ralph W., Will S. and Warren E. Gregg of Hawarden; Roy M. Gregg of Dell Rapids, S.D., nephews of the deceased, and John and Donald Smith of Montrose, S.D., grandsons. Burial was in Grace Hill cemetery. Jane Gregg, daughter of Mary Ann Black and Moses Gregg, was born at Ramelton, County Donegal, Ireland, November 22, 1860, and died at the Hawarden hospital Saturday morning, December 14, 1940, at the age of 80 years and 21 days. She was the youngest of eleven children. Shortly after her birth the mother died and she was cared for by older sisters. When she was four years old the family came to Toronto, Canada, where they lived for a short time until coming to Bloom, near Chicago, Illinois, where they lived for a year. Then they moved to a farm near Traer, Tama county, Iowa, where members of the family made their home for many years. She then moved to Gladbrook, Iowa, where she helped to care for her invalid father and the three motherless children of her brother-in-law, John Smith, whom she later married at Tipton, Iowa, on April 25, 1884. They went to Conrad where Mr. Smith was engaged in partnership with the Gregg Brothers in the livestock business. After eight years in Conrad they moved to a farm three miles southeast of Hawarden where they lived until 1900, since which time she has resided in Hawarden. Mr. Smith died in November, 1920. Handicapped throughout her life by a frail body, she was possessed of an alert and vigorous mind and an energetic and dauntless spirit that carried her over many obstacles. She took an intense interest in all the current affairs of the world as well as of her own community, and a great deal of pride in the spirit and progress of her home town. She was for the greater part of her life a member of the Presbyterian church, first at Tranquility, near Traer, then at Conrad from which place her letter was transferred to the Presbyterian church of Calliope, Iowa, later a part of the Associated church, of which she has remained a consistent and loyal member. Her life was purposeful and sincere and she was ever a real and faithful mother to her three step-children, all of whom survive. They are: Wm. G. Smith of Montrose, South Dakota; Jennie P. Shriner and Anna M. Smith of Hawarden. She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Annie Crouch of Hawarden; three grandchildren, and a foster daughter - Margaret Weir Emmert of Sioux city. Out of town relatives and friends who came to attend there funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Wm. G. Smith and sons, John and Donald, of Montrose, S.D.; Miss Mary Janet Smith of Sioux Falls; Mr. and Mrs. Roy M. Gregg of Dell Rapids, S.D.; Rev. C.I. Wilkens of Salem, S.D., and Mrs. Margaret Emmert of Sioux City. Dr. John Gregg and son Jan of Sioux Falls spent Sunday here.
