The Calhoun Times, Calhoun, Ga., Thursday, April 30, 1903
| “ | Mr Geo. R. Smith died at his home Wednesday night at 10 o'clock after an illness of two weeks with pneumonia. It had been evident for several days that the end was near, still the announcement of his death caused a pall of gloom to overspread this section of country where he was loved and esteemed by all. He bore his sufferings with a cheerful and uncomplaining spirit. Mr. Smith was sixty-six years of age, and, until recently had enjoyed excellent health nearly all his life. He was a consistent member of the Baptist church. He is survived by a wife and three children, two boys and a girl. He was laid to rest at Bethlehem cemetery. Rev. Hudson conducted the funeral services. Dear friends, we know it's hard to give him up, but be of good cheer and prepare to meet him in that bright beyond where parting is no more, but all will be bliss. Is not that a comforting thought? | ” |
