Obituary- Smith, George G.

George G. Smith
George G. Smith was born at Terre Haute, Indiana, December 25, 1852, and passed from this life August 15, 1937, at the age of 84 years, 7 months, 21 days.

He was united in marriage to Sarah M. Osborn, March 1, 1875, at Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1883 they came to Kansas, settling near Rossville and moved into town in 1915. Mrs. Smith, though very frail, survives him. Seven children were born to this couple of whom only two survive, Mrs. Flora Gahager and Nelson Smith, both of Topeka. There are also nine grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.


Mr. Smith was very well during his long life, hardly knowing a day of sickness until the one which finally took him. He was an earnest man, sincere in his thoughts and in his life. He was a member of the Methodist church many years ago, and active in his interest in it.

Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon from the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. Wright Horton, of Riley. Music was furnished by Mrs. E. G. Griswold, Miss Leona Griswold, Miss Lucille Griswold, and Mrs. Margaret Witter, accompanied by Miss Edith Higginbotham.
