      S. CRAIG SMITH DEAD
      Farmer Passed Away at His Home Near Fulton After Short Illness.

      Sidney Craig Smith, 60 years old, one of the well-known and highly esteemed farmers of the Fulton community, died at his home on the Lamar lane, four miles northeast of Fulton at 6:45 p.m. Monday, after a short illness. Mr. Smith was taken suddenly ill last Friday and physicians pronounced his ailment valvular heart trouble, complicated by liver trouble. He had been to a neighbor's Friday morning and had eaten his dinner as usual Friday, apparently being in his usual good health. He was taken ill that afternoon.

      Mr. Smith was born September 3, 1855, and the Smith family lived in Saline and Carroll counties before their removal to the Kingdom a number of years ago. They settled off the form northeast of Fulton, where Mr. Smith was reared and which had been his home since. His parents were the late Mr. and Mrs. James Smith.

      Mr. Smith was married about 15 years ago to Miss Belle Houchins, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Houchins, who with a little son, Sidney Crews Smith survived him. He is also survived by five brothers and three sisters as follows: George Smith of Faribault, Minn; Mrs. P.C. Jensen of Albert Lee, Minn.; Mrs. James M. Bailey of Saskatchewan, Canada; Finnis Smith of North Dakota; Granville Smith, T. D. Smith, V. O. Smith and Mrs. Robert Lamar of Fulton.

      Mr. Smith was a successful farmer and a man well thought of in his community. He came of an old Callaway family his parents settling here many years ago, and during his long residence in his home locality won the confidence and esteem of his intimates. His sudden death is a source of deep sorrow to his family, who have the sympathy of all in their bereavement.

      Funeral services were held at the Ebenezer church of which Mr. Smith had long been a member at 3:00 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Rev. E.J. Sanderson, pastor of the church, will officiate. Burial will be in the church cemetery.
