After recovery she remained for a time at the home of her son and then went to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Jordan in Moweaqua to spend the winter. A week ago Sunday she contracted a heavy cold which developed into pneumonia which caused her death.

Susan Smith was the daughter of John and Mary Smith and was born in Hickman county, Tenn., May 19, 1827. She came to this state with her parents at the age of ten years. The family settled first on a farm near Arenzville. Later they moved to the Ebenezer neighborhood where they resided until 25 years ago when they moved to Jacksonville.
