Obituary- Smith, Charles A.

CHAS. SMITH DEAD
Word was received Tuesday that Chas. Smith, an old resident of the city, had died at the state institution for the treatment of epileptics at Parsons, Kan.

About two weeks ago Mr. Smith had an attack of epilepsy and showed signs of becoming violent. He was taken to Topeka and at a hearing in the court he was adjudged insane and taken to Parsons to the state asylum.

When visited by his son, Alton, Sunday he was found entirely helpless and unable to talk, although he appeared to recognize those about him. He died early Tuesday morning. His wife had been near him ever since the fatal attack.

The body was shipped to this city and arrived Wednesday evening. The funeral will be held today (Friday) from the Catholic church and interment will take place in the Rossville cemetery.

The children, Alton and wife, Aouda and husband, Bert Parks, and Ronald, all of Enid, Okla., and Miss May, who makes her home with Dr. Kemper, of Maple Hill, are all here to attend the funeral.
