DEATH OF J. H. SMITH

John H. Smith, a former resident of this place, but for the past twelve or fifteen years living in Toledo, where he conducted the Merchants Hotel, died suddenly in that city Sunday afternoon. He had been in poor health for several years, but his death nevertheless came as a great shock to his many friends here. He died in his automobile while driving in a park, the cause being heart failure. The remains were brought to this place Wednesday and buried beside his wife, who died last spring. He leaves three daughters and two sons.
