Deaths and Funerals

Smiley
Laverna Dell Smiley was born
September 8, 1885, at Silver Lake,
Kansas, and passed away at her home
December 15th, 1935.

She was a graduate of the Walnut
Hill rural school and of the Kansas
State Teachers College, Emporia,
from which she received the Bachelor
of science degree. At the University
of Kansas she had completed the residence
work for a Master’s degree in
mathematics but had not finished her
thesis.

Miss Smiley taught in the rural
schools of Shawnee county and in
the grade school at Clyde, Kansas.
At Lebanon, Glen Elder, Tonganoxie
And Macon, Mo., she was high school
Instructor.

She became a member of the
United Brethren church at the age
of twenty-one, and later was transferred
to the Methodist Episcopal church.

As the oldest child in a large family
she early assumed the responsibility
of caring for the younger members.
She was quiet and reserved,
with a dignity and poise that
she maintained throughout her long
illness. As a student she was thorough
and conscientious. In the class
room she was firm and just, patient
and preserving.

She is survived by her mother, Mrs.
W. T. Smiley, six sisters, Pearl and
Laura of the home; Alma of Topeka;
Elizabeth of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. W.
K. Broyles of Delia, and Mrs. R. W.

One brother, William, of Elmont, Kan.


We thank our kind friends for
Their floral offerings, sympathy,
Thoughtfulness and aid during the illness
and death of our dear one.
Mrs. W. T. Smiley and family.
