      MRS. WALLACE SMITH

      Resident of Fremont for Many Years Answers Final Call

      After an illness of about two years, Mrs. Wallace Smith, wife of a well-known North Western engineer, died at a hospital in Omaha last evening at 5:10. Mrs. Smith's condition had been serious for several weeks. A post
      mortem was determined upon, as a means of establishing the cause of her illness. It was to be held in Omaha today. The body will be brought to Fremont this afternoon over the North Western.

      Mrs. Smith was born in September, 1863, in Indiana. Her parents afterwards resided in Fairbury, Neb. From there Mrs. Smith, whose name was then Leora Bell Rice, came to Fremont in 1890. She was married to Mr. Smith February 23, 1891. Their residence in Fremont since that time has been continuous. Mrs. Smith won many warm friends, who regarded her highly. A few years ago she united with the Presbyterian church.

      The immediate surviving relatives are the husband and one daughter, Mrs. Hope Nelson. There are three brothers, residing in Dixon, Ill., Princeton, Mo., and Evergreen, Colo., and one sister residing at Trenton, Kas. All of the brothers and the sister are expected to arrive in time for the funeral, the hour of which will be announced later.
