Obituary:
Mr. John Smith, an old and respected citizen of the vicinity of Baton Rouge, departed this life on last Wednesday night. He had been a sufferer, for a long time, from an affection of the throat, and little hope of his recovery was entertained. Though plain and unassuming in manner, he possessed great integrity of character. He filled the requirements of a good man and worthy citizen. For many years he was a member of Calvary (Baptist) Church, and died in the enjoyment of the Christian's hope. The funeral services, which were conducted by Rev. L. C. Hinton, were held at Calvary Church on Friday; at the close of the solemn service the remains were buried in the graveyard attached.
