- Washington Democrat, Washington, Daviees County, Indiana, Dec 10, 1910.
Mrs. W.G. Smoot Dies After Long Illness.
Lydia E. Smoot, wife of Warner G. Smoot, who lives on the Portersville Road, a short distance from the city limits, died Friday afternoon. She had been ill for the last five or six years, and her condition had been serious for some time. During her illness she suffered three strokes of paralysis, and this with minor causes is said to have been the cause of her death. About ten days ago she had a relapse and it was realized then that she would probably never recover.
She was born in this city sixty-six years ago on December 2, 1844, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elias Robinson, who where among the pioneer settlers of Daviess county. While a young girl she joined the Cumberland Presbyterian church and lives strong in the faith of this denomination until her death. She was married in her early years to Warner G. Smoot and five children, all of whom are living, were born. The children are: Mrs. Emma J. Craig, Otwell; Walter G. Smoot, city; R.B. Smoot, Madisonville, Kentucky; Edwin R. Smoot, Greenwood, Kansas; Mrs. Della Donaldson, city. William Robinson of Garden City, Kansas, and Mary Wykoff of Washington is a brother and sister of Mrs. Smoot. A half brother, Richard Robinson, city, and two half sisters, Mrs. Sam Smith and Mrs. Richard Brown, also survive her. Mr. & Mrs. Smoot lived in Washington for several years, occupying a house on Harned avenue, but about ten years ago they moved to the place on the Portersville road. Previous to moving to Washington they lived on a farm near Glendale and it was here that most of Mrs. Smoot's married live was spent. The funeral services will be held at the Veale's Creek church at 2:30 Sunday afternoon, and will be in charge of the Rev. J.L. Hudgins of Nashville, Tennessee, editor of the Cumberland Presbyterian, a religious paper. He will be assisted by the Rev. U.M. McGuire of this city, and the Rev. Mr. Weeks of the Veale's creek church. The body will be laid to rest in a large stone mausoleum in the Veale's creek cemetery.
