The following is a brief sketch of the life of Mrs. B. P. Smith, whose death was mentioned in last week's paper:
Jane E. Rogers was born in Bristol, Ontario County, N. Y., August 29, 1819, and came to Michigan in May 1832, settling in the township of Novi where she lived until two years ago when she went to Durand to make her home with her daughter, and where she died Jan. 27.
In 1840 she was united in marriage to B. P. Smith. To them were born ten children, three of whom are still living, Albert of Novi, Augustus of Wayne and Mrs. G. C. Hughes of Durand.
The remains were brought to Novi where the funeral services were held January 30, and by her request she was bourn to her grave by her old neighbors. The funeral service was preached by her old pastor, Rev. J. S. Boyden of Kalamazoo, assisted by the present pastor of the Baptist church of Novi.[3]
