• Documents		Obituary- Smith, Daisy 1 The Home-Going of Mrs. Daisy Sherman Smith It is seldom that a community is so deeply stirred by the death of any of its members as was this whole community on Wednesday the 4th Inst., over the home going of Mrs. Daisy Sherman Smith. Mrs. Smith was born in Rossville some twenty-three years ago and lived here until her parents moved to Topeka. When ten years old she united with the Presbyterian Church of this place and was very active in church work even at that early [continued] [From the Shawnee County News, November 13, 1903]
  		Obituary- Smith, Daisy 2 age. On moving to Topeka she soon found her place in the Primary Department of the Sabbath school connected with the First Presbyterian Church of that city where she did efficient service as one of its secretaries until she was joined in marriage to Mr. Walter Smith, one of the prominent young men of that place. As her father still retained the old home in Rossville Mrs. Smith, after her marriage, came back with her husband to live in it. They resided here for about a year when a child was born to them--a dear little daughter. The daughter, now two years old, survives her mother and finds a delightful home with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman, who still live in Topeka. To the many rare gifts and graces with with nature had endowed Mrs. Smith, she added many fine accomplishments. Her disposition was naturally lively, consideration, kind and winsome. She always had a good word for everybody who was endeavoring to do right, consequently she had hosts of friends both in and out of the church. This was most evident on the day of her funeral, when the Presbyterian Church of Rossville was packed to the doors by those who loved her and still hold her in the sweetest remembrance. Though Mrs. Smith had suffered for several weeks with typhoid fever her death was very unexpected. She felt and believed that she would soon be up and about her accustomed duties when peritonitis set in and she was numbered with the departed. After her marriage she transferred her church membership from Rossville and with her husband united with the First Presbyterian Church of Topeka, of which she was a member when she died. The pastor, Dr. Countermine, assisted by Rev. H.L. Nelson conducted the funeral services. He took his text from 2 Cor. 13:12, "Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
