Her maiden name was IRVIN. She was married to ROBERT SMITH. After residing a short time in Scotland, they removed to North Ireland, probably to escape the religious intolerance which was then making an effort to crush the life of Presbyterian Scotland. Mother Smith has stated to her daughter repeatedly, that she had lived in constant fear, that her husband would be apprehended for his opinions, and thus fall a victim to the bigotry of his age. They resided in Ireland only a few years, when they concluded to emigrate to America. Accompanied by a brother of Mrs. Smith and their two children, they came to Quebec, landing there fifty-two years ago. since which she has resided for a brief period at Salina and Jordan, in the State of New York; also Ohio, Cincinnati, Iowa and Indiana. Most of her life, since coming to this continent, has been spent in this State. She resided in Logansport 26 or 27 vears, and came to this place last Monday to make this her last earthly residence. Her life has been made up of a great diversity of experience. She buried her husband forty-one years ago, since which time she has had life's struggles and burdens to bear alone. She has wept compassionately by the side of the resting places of three of her children and now leaves two to embalm her memory in their hearts. More than once has she been apparently very near the journey's end. I think we may say, possibly, her life has been eventful,... She united with the church when she was but a.mere child, only twelve years old.... In her younger days she was a member of the Seceder Church, but coming to Logansport she united with the 1st Presbyterian Church of that place, which has been her home ever since. ... For years she has been unable to attend the means of grace, by reason of [email protected] infirmity.... She has been waiting for the call of the Master, and praying that he might come. And he did come Thursday at midnight. -Rev. F. M. ELLIOTT. ----- Published in The Rochester Sentinel Saturday, October 25, 1873 DIED. -Yesterday morning about one o'clock, Mrs. REBECCA SMITH, aged 84 years. The deceased was a mother of Mrs. Esquire REES, at whose residence she died. She had just come from Logansport on Monday last with the intention of making her home with her daughter during her sojourn on earth which unfortunately was of short duration. She had lived a long and useful life and passed away peacefully and resigned. The funeral services will take place to-morrow at the Presbyterian church at 10-1/2 o'clock a.m. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Newspaper Excerpts - 1873 by Wendell C. Tombaugh
