Read More	From the Cleveland County Herald June 5, 1913 NATHAN SMITH PASSED FROM DEATH UNTO LIFE In memory of Nathan Smith who was born in Shelby county, Ala., May 13, 1839, came to Arkansas with his parents in the year 1849, and grew up to manhood in three miles of Rison, where he died May 29, 1913, making his life 74 years and 16 days. "Uncle Nath" as we called him was married to Miss Caroline Hudson in the year 1860, and 11 children were born to them, seven sons and four daughters, five of them still living, J.E., Nick, and Charles Smith; and Mrs. N.A. McKinney and Mrs. Jim Lewis, of Mt. Holly, Ark. His wife preceeded him to the grave about four years and six months ago, leaving him desolate. The stroke was so heavy that he gradually failed until death relieved him of his sorrows and afflictions. His body was laid to rest in Moore's church cemetery on Saturday evening, May 31st, in the presence of his children and sorrowing friends, Elder Whayne, of Kingsland, officiating. A good man and citizen is gone. We can only see him now in our mind as he walked along leaning on his cane. Uncle Nath leaves many friends and a good name for us all to cherish. The writer was intimately acquainted with him; served with him in the Confederate army and necessarally thrown among a great many immoral men, but Uncle Nath came out of the war unscathed by contamination and remained so all through his long life. Being somewhat of the same disposition we became close friends in those days that tried men. After the war and we retruned home to our loved ones, that friendship and brotherly love continued. Now I feel like a brother has left me: few of us left to talk of the hardships of a soldier's life. Uncle Nath never attached himself to any church, but was a lover of the Bible and kept his in his office while he served his county as treasurer for five terms to the satisfaction of his constituents. The writer often talked with me on the subject of religion. I visited him during his last illness a week or ten days before his death. he said to me: "Tom, I can't say that I know I am prepared to die; I only hope I will have grace given me. I know if I am saved that it will be by grace alone--not works I have done." I could speak of many evidences that he has given me a change of heart, but space forbids. Uncle Nath was an honored Mason, a member of that order for a number of years and was highly esteemed by the brethren there of who with his children and friends miss him. Uncle Nath has answered the last roll call. From children and friends he is gone, and when the last call comes to us, one and all, may it sweetly sound, child, come home. T.B. Little
