DEATH OF AGED RESIDENT
John E. Smith Succumbs to Paralysis,
Aged 69 Years.
John E. Smith, a well-known citizen
and former business man of Dallas,
died at his home on Jefferson street,
In this city, at 1 p. m., Wednesday,
January 11, aged 69 years and 1
months. The immediate cause of death
was paralysis, from which he had suf
fered since January 12, 1908. Last
New Year's day he was again stricken,
since when his health has been grad
ually failing.
Mr. Smith was born April 3, 1841,
at Bucyrus, Ohio, and at the age of 21
entered the Civil War as a member of
Company K, Sixty-fourth Regiment,
Ohio Infantry. He came to Oregon
in 1871, locating in Dallas, where he
started a blacksmith shop, which he
conducted until about ten years ago.
Mr. Smith Joined the Ancient Order of
United Workmen in the early '80s. He
was also a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and will be remem
bered as a strict and conscientious
follower of his faith.
He was married April 25, 1875, to
Miss Jennie Lee, who survives -him.
He leaves four children, Miss Eva
Smith and Lee Smith, of Dallas; Ha
ven Smith, of Siietz, Lincoln County;
and Mrs. Irma Beery, of Portland.
The funeral services will be con
ducted by the Reverend George F.
Hopkins, at the family home, at 1:30
o'clock, Friday afternoon. The inter
ment will be in the I. O. O. F. ceme
tery.
The next feature of the Dallas Col
lege Lyceum course will be the ap
pearance of "Ye Old Town Quartette,"
in Woodman Hall, Wednesday even
ing, January 18. This quartette has
been selected because of its ability to
sing songs that please. Each member
possesses an excellent solo voice, and,
by long training and work together,
they are enabled to give unusual en
semble results. The various numbers
of the program in costume, together
with readings, solos, and crayon work,
give just enough variety to their en
tertainment. Newton Wesley Gains, the noted lec
turer, says: "Never has any male
quartette pleased me more than this
one. They are certainly artists in
their line, each one being an actor as
well as a singer and they are not only
pleasing to listen to, they are good to
loolt upon. Their voices blend as per
fectly as the keys of a properly tuned
and exquisitely touched piano. They
will always make good."
The Plalnville Times, Plainville,
Kansas, said: "This male quartette
gave an excellent entertainment in the
Opera Hall Monday evening."
"Mr. Greene made a hit with his
readings," showing his adaptabilitiy to
his profession by swaying his audience
from tears to uncontrollable mirth in
an Instant. 'Conner' held the breath
less interest of everyone from begin
ning to end. Taken in its entirety the
entertainment was the best of its kind
ever given in Formosa, far exceeding
many of the lecture course numbers.
If the Quartette should wish to give
us a return date, they will receive a
hearty welcome." Formosa New Era.
