Priscilla's Obit :

PASSES AWAY AT MARIETTA, GA.
Mrs. Thomas H. Smith Succumbs to an Illness of Several Weeks
Duration--Will Be Buried Here.
    Mrs. John Hurst received a telegram this morning announcing the death at Marietta, Ga., of  Mrs. Thomas H. Smith.  Her death took place at the home of the Rev. J. H. Patten, whose wife is a niece of Mrs. Smith.  The funeral will be at Marietta at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, after which the body will be shipped to Clarksville for interment, arriving in Clarksville at Wednesday morning at 9:40 o'clock.  The burial will be from the train, with services at the grave by Rev. E. J. Barnett.
    The passing of Mrs. Smith will be the cause of regret to her friends in this community, in which she had spent so many years.  Those who knew her will mourn the loss of one whose life was ordered by Christian principles and charitable impulses.  Mrs. Smith was the widow of the late Thomas H. Smith, who was for many years one of Clarksville's lead businessmen.
She was a sister of the late Elijah Withers.  She was the last of her immediate family, being survived by three nieces, Mrs. J. H. Patten of Marietta; Mrs. McGarity of Atlanta, Ga.; and Mrs. Harris of Catersville, Ga.
