- Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, April 25, 1900 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Susan Phillips Smith - The people of our community were greatly surprised and saddened as the tidings came over the wire that Susan Phillips Smith, wife of Eli T. Smith was dead. About a year ago she began to fail in health and gradually grew weaker both in body and mind. Several physicians were interviewed in regard to her condition but their skill and advice was all to no purpose. Her friends saw that she was failing and advised her to go to a hospital for treatment. After much deliberation she consented to go March 21st to Albany. She had been there only a few days when the doctors pronounced her trouble Addison's disease which is incurable. She lived but a few days after reaching the hospital for on March 29th she peacefully passed away. Mr. Smith and family were well known and highly respected citizens of this place. About two years ago they moved to Oneonta, New York. Mrs. Smith was thoroughly devoted to her family and one great object of her life was to have a happy home. She was an earnest worker in the church and Sunday school and her influence will live on even though she sleeps the sleep that knows no waking. Though we may not understand the province which to us seems so mysterious, the Christian's hope lights the gloom and we bow in submission to the Divine will for "Great and Marvelous are Thy works, just and true are Thy ways." One less on earth, its pains, its sorrow and its toll to share. One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear. One more the crown of the blest to wear; At home in Heaven.
