Lucinda Green Smith, daughter of Edward and Ruth Green, was born Feb. 23, 1814, and died in Friendship, N. Y., Feb. 19, 1892, nearly 78 years of age.

In youth she accepted Christ as her Saviour, in whom she trusted through all the trials of a long life. Uniting with the First Alfred Church, she retained that membership until called to the church above. Jan. 3, 1835, she was married to James T. Burdick, who died Oct. 11, 1843. To them were given six children, only two of whom reached mature years. At the age of 31 she was married to Ashbel Smith, with whom she lived for about 37 years. Since his death, and for the past ten years, she has lived with her son, James T. Burdick, Jr., in Friendship, where she died. She had been confined to her bed for the last fifteen months, many times feeling that the hour of departure was near. Last may her daughter, who had been her companion from infancy, was suddenly taken from her, leaving an only son to watch the last departing breath of a devoted mother, gone to join the loved ones “over there.” Services were conducted at the house, Sabbath evening, by M. B. Kelly, and burial was at Alfred, on Sunday.
