   MRS. ORILLA SMITH PASSED AWAY SUNDAY--Poor Health for Several Years
   Ended Early Sunday. Funeral Tuesday Afternoon at Congregational
   Church. Leaves a Son and Daughter
   
   Mrs. "Rilla" Smith as she was familiarly called passed away quietly
   early Sunday morning as her daughter Mrs. Frank Roberts was preparing
   her breakfast. She had been ill for several years, sometimes worse and
   sometimes better, but of late being able to get about the house
   somewhat.
   
   She has always been of a most cheerful disposition, making many friends
   wherever she was. She was married twice, her husbands being brothers.
   She was a loyal member of the Rebekah lodge, always attending the
   meetings until ill health prevented. She was always a member of the
   Congregational church and a fine, loving mother, always looking on the
   bright side of life and bringing cheer to those around her.

   of 69 years, eight months and 12 days. She was lovingly cared for by
   her daughter Mrs. Frank Roberts of Lansing all through her illness.
   
   The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the Congregational church with
   the pastor Rev. E. H. Humphrey officiating.
   
   Besides her daughter she leaves a son Homer in Salem, Ore., a sister
   Mrs. Addie Lear of Grand Ledge, twelve grandchildren and five
