Death of Duncan J. Smith
Young Farmer of Midway Community Died Sunday
Mr. Duncan J. Smith, young farmer of the Midway community, died at his home Sunday night after a week's illness of influenza but paralysis was the immediate cause of his death. The remains were buried in the Homerville cemetery Tuesday at noon, in the presence of a large concourse of friends and relatives, Elder Orville A. Knight conducting the funeral exercises in a very impressive manner.
The deceased was a son of the late Waver and Leacy Smith, and was 33 years old, and a World War veteran. He is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Nellie Smith, and two children.
Duncan as he was called by his friends and neighbors, was a quiet, unobtrusive kind of fellow and well-liked by all, and his untimely death brought much sorrow into the hearts of those who knew him. After enjoying a good Christmas dinner he was taken sick that night, and a little less than a week later was dead. Truly, life is uncertain. May his spirit rest in peace!
