Mr. Robert Smith
A sad tragedy occurred Friday afternoon at Lake, in which a young man from Lindale, Mr. Robert Smith lost his life. He had been helping to clean off the Pleasant Hope cemetery that day, and afterwards went to Lake with some relatives and friends to fish. With a couple of small boys he became separated from the others, and in some way fell into a deep hole. He could not swim, and was frowned before his plight was discovered. The unfortunate young man had been married the Saturday before the tragedy to Miss Stella, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Faires, of Lake, and the young bride has much sympathy in her sudden bereavement. The remains were laid to rest Sunday in the Pleasant Hope cemetery.
