Obituary of John W. Smith, a Prussian, a blacksmith 1881
1881
Article from The Daily Evening Reporter,
Washington Co., Pa., Fri., Mar. 18, 1881, page unknown:
SUDDEN DEATH - Mr. John W. Smith, a Prussian, a
blacksmith, living at Alexander Sullivan's, in Carrol [sic, one 'l']
township, working at the Victory smithy, died very suddenly on the 10th
inst. He was quite well in the morning, had been to work all day, but on
his way home, stopped near Terry Hanlon's, and leaning on the fence
began to moan; a little girl heard him, and called assistance; but he
soon died of heart disease with which he was affected. Smith was a
bachelor, 75 years of age, an industrious man, noted as a maker of
miner's tools, in which art he was very proficient. Mr. Sullivan, with
whom he has lived for four years, informs us that he was a kind, gentle
and worthy man, and was endeared to those who knew him - especially to
the children of the neighborhood, of whom he was quite fond. - Mon.
Republican .
