SMYTH.—Of your charity pray for the repose of the soul of Margaret Smyth, relict of the late Edward Smyth, who died at her residence, Alma, May 8, 1907, aged 75. Sweet Jesus, grant her eternal rest. [1]
Obituary
A Tarlee correspondent writes:—The death of Mrs. Edward Smyth, which occurred at Alma on the 8th inst, removes from amongst us one of our oldest and most respected residents. Although 75 years of age, the deceased lady had been hale and hearty up to a short time before her death, and attended Mass here ten days previously. Indeed, notwithstanding the long journey that had to be made, Mrs. Smyth never failed to be present at the Holy Sacrifice. Father Maher, though still suffering from the effects of his accident, visited the good lady and administered the last Sacraments.
Mrs. Smyth's life was an exemplary one, and her cheery disposition and benevolent nature won for her the esteem and goodwill of her numerous acquaintances. Her remains were followed to their last resting place at Pinkerton Plains by about fifty vehicles.
The Very Rev. T. F. O'Neill, as sisted by the Revs. M. Maher and T. Lee, conducted the burial service. Mr. F. J. Smyth (son) and Mrs. J. Callary, Mrs. Andrew Horgan, and Mrs. Byrne (daughters), with several nephews and nieces, were at the graveside, and sincere sympathy for them, and regret in the loss of a dear friend, is felt on all hands. Mr. Edward Smyth, the deceased lady's husband, and brother of the late Rev. John Smyth, died about five and a-half years ago —-R.I.P. [2]
