Mrs. J.C. Smith Laid
to Rest Yesterday. . . Died Early Sunday Morning at Home of Her Mother, Mrs.
M.C. Myers. . . Had Been Sick for a Long Time
Mrs. Julian C. Smith died early Sunday morning at the home
of her mother, Mrs. M.D. Myers on Hayne street. Her death was not unexpected as
she had been ill for a long time, suffering from a malignant disease. She went
to a Charlotte hospital September 17th and remained there a number
of weeks. While there she underwent several operations, but to no avail, and as
hope for her recovery was abandoned she was brought to the home of her mother.
News of her death was heard with sorrow, for she was beloved by a wide circle
of relatives and friends.
Mrs. Smith, who was Miss Annie Myers before her marriage,
was born in Lanes Creek township near Mount Moriah church on Nov. 23, 1871, but
her father, the late M.D. Myers, moved to Monroe in 1875. In November, 1895,
she was married to Mr. J.C. Smith and moved to Rockingham where they lived for
a short time returning to Monroe. About a year ago Mr. Smith’s business took
him to Birmingham, Ala., and his wife accompanied him. Besides her mother and
husband, Mrs. Smith is survived by one daughter, Miss Elizabeth Smith, a
brother, Mr. Brooks Myers, and a sister, Mrs. Lydia Myers.
Mrs. Smith was a prominent member of the Presbyterian
church, a loyal and conscientious woman. She was devoted to her home, her
family and her church. Always gentle and kind, her influence was felt by those
with whom she was associated.
The funeral services were held at the Myers home yesterday
afternoon at 3 o’clock, and were conducted by Dr. H.E. Gurney and Rev. John A.
Wray. The pall bearers were Messrs. R.A. Morrow, D.B. Snyder, G.M. Beasley,
S.A. Blair, W.H. Norwood, and Watt Hamilton.
Mr. and Mrs. C.C. Moore of Wadesboro, the latter a sister of
Mr. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Parsons of Wadesboro, and many Charlotte friends
and relatives of the deceased were here to attend the funeral.
