Services Held Saturday For Mrs. Smith, Hereford Pioneer
Funeral services for Emma Gertrude Smith were held Saturday afternoon from the local Funeral Parlor with Rev. H.M. Redford, Rev. M.B. Norwood, and Rev. W.E. Barnes officiating. Mrs. Smith died just before midnight last Thursday night. Burial was made in West Park Cemetery.
Surviving are her son, George, Jr., and daughter, Bonnie Jean of Hereford, three grandchildren, Nancy Jean and Patricia Lee Smith, and Bruce Bentley, and a niece, Martha Sue Jones of Jefferson City, Mo.
Pallbearers were Frank Givan, Mose Bradley, C.M. Flowers, Nester Gass, Alex Thompson, and Leonard Knox.
Friends out of town were Mrs. Isabel Garrison and Mrs. Rex Tynes of Lubbock, Misses Mildred McFerrin, Bonnie Dickinson, Linnie Babston, Mary Lou Roberson, and Mrs. Ruth Costly of Canyon.
Emma Gertrude Kirkman was born in Gooch's Mill, Mo., October 22, 1873. She was married to George W. Smith, September 18, 1895. To this union were born six children: Warden, Maud Elizabeth, Bessie Lorene, Marguerite, George, Jr., and Bonnie Jean.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith came to Hereford from Centralia, Mo., in 1908, where he was engaged in the jewelry business. He preceded Mrs. Smith in death, June 8, 1930.
For a number of years, Mrs. Smith was inactive in church and community work because of her health. Mrs. Smith came to this community while Hereford was still a village; she has lived and reared her family here since that time. She was ever a Christian, and has done much for her friends as a neighbor while physically able.
The town has lost another of its pioneers in her passing away.
