Smith Source: Clay Center Newspaper, Clay Center, Kansas, Friday, December 3, 1954. "Walter W. Smith, son of Charles and Elizabeth Dunable Smith, was born August 3, 1870, in Fort Wayne, Ind., and passed from this life Friday, Nov., 26, 1954, being 84 years, three months and 23 days. His parents came to Kansas in a covered wagon when he was six weeks old, homesteading on a farm south east of Oak Hill. May 8, 1894, Walter was united in marriage to Vada Burgman. Last year they celebrated 60 years of happiness together. Walter and Vada began housekeeping in Ottawa county then moved to their farm north of Oak Hill where they lived for 54 years. Then on account of his failing health they moved to Clay Center in 1947. To this union two children were born, Virgil Glenn, who preceded his father in death and Mrs. Anna Morley at whose home he had been cared for since July. Walter or "Walt" as he was known, was a friend to everyone. Being of a jolly nature, he always gave a word of cheer to all he met. A year ago he suffered a stroke and had been an invalid ever since. He was lovingly cared for by his wife until she also took her bed with a stroke. Those left to mourn his death are his faithful wife Vada; one daughter, Anna Morley and husband Howard; two grandchildren, Betty Spellman and husband Dale of Clay Center and Leslie Morley of the U. S. Navy and wife Joan of Pensacola, Fla.; four great grandchildren, Linda and Mark Spellman and Jimmy and Janis Morley. One great grandchild preceded him in death five years ago, Virginia Ann Spellman. Others left to mourn his passing are three sisters, Rose Burgman of Chapman, Effie Sylvester of Omaha, Neb., and Cynthia Otto of Denbigh, N. Dak., a number of nieces and nephews and a host of friends. Services were conducted in the Presbyterian church, Oak Hill, at 2 p.m. Monday, Nov. 29, with the Rev. Earl Fessenden officiating. Burial was made at the Rose Meron cemetery. Anna Rowell, pianist, accompanied Dick Griffiths and Victor Laveau of the Miltonvale College, who sand "We are Going Down the Valley" and "Face to Face."
