OBITUARY
IRENE HELEN SAVAGE SMITH
Irene Savage Smith, only child of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Savage, was born August 9, 1899, and passed away from the home of her parents, the place of her birth on January 4, 1933. It was in this community that she grew through childhood to young womanhood, and where she received her education. On November 30, 1923, she was united in marriage to Mr. Joseph Smith. To their union two children were born, Albert and Milton. Those left to mourn her passing on are her husband and two sons, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Savage, one grandmother, Mrs. Mann, other relatives, and many many friends. Mrs. Smith had a wide circle of friends who will greatly miss her. The illness which caused her death was less than two years of duration, during which time she suffered much and bore it all in a most beautifully patient manner,. To her friends and loved ones she always radiated an atmosphere of optimism, hopefulness and good cheer. All was done that hands of love could do, but in vain. The dreadful malady caused the setting of her evening star years before the allotted span of life.
