MRS. PETER SMITH:  Mrs. Lizzie Ford Smith was born in Shelby County, 
Kentucky, on September 30, 1861, and was the daughter of Younger and 
Mary White Ford.  She became a Christian in early life and united 
with the First Baptist Church, Owensboro, Kentucky.  She remained a 
member of this Church until her death and no Church ever had a more 
devoted member than she.  She attended the public schools in 
Owensboro and also Georgetown College, Georgetown, Kentucky.  She 
married Mr. Peter Smith, a prominent tobacconist in Owensboro for 
many years, in the year 1880, and Rev. T. C. Stackhouse, pastor of 
the First Baptist Church, officiated at the wedding ceremony.  Three 
children blessed this union, one son and two daughters.
	Mrs. Smith served as a Sunday School teacher in the First 
Baptist Church for many years.  For several years she taught a 
woman's class but her main interest was centered upon a class of 
young men.  She was especially interested in the young men who 
entered the ministry, this interest being shown in numerous ways.  
She took a peculiar interest in Rev. E. N. Perry, one-time pastor 
of the Buena Vista Church and also a former Moderator of this 
Association, while he attended school at Bethel College, 
Russellville, Kentucky.
	At one time she served as President of the Kentucky W. M. U. 
and also served for several years as the Superintendent of the 
Daviess-McLean W. M. U. The Associational work advanced to a great 
degree as a result of her patient and devoted leadership.
	For a number of years before her death she made her home with 
her daughter, Mrs. J. M. Coffman, at 2038 Frederica Street, in 
Owensboro.  She departed this life on April 14, 1935.  The 
Association and the First Baptist Church sustained a great loss in 
the death of this devoted and consecrated woman.
