Obituary: March the 11th at 5:25 a.m. the death angel visited our home and took our mother, Mrs. Mary Smith, wife of Thomas Smith and mother of Frank S. Moore. She was the daughter of Prier Bradley, was born in East Tennessee in 1845 and came with her parents to Barry county when she was six years old and had lived in Barry County ever since, except a few years in Dade County. She professed her faith in Christ when young and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and lived in that faith until her death. She had been afflicted for about seventeen years and could not attend church as she would have liked to do. She leaves three brothers and one sister and one son to mourn her death. Their loss is her gain. She died of heart trouble and dropsy and bore her affliction with patience and was ready to go. She was living at her son's and all was done that loving hands could do but Jesus said, it is enough, come up higher, where there is no more sickness nor goodbyes. Rev. J. W. Ennes conducted the funeral services at the house and we laid her to rest in the Oak Hill Cemetery to await the resurrection morn.
