 News that Reed Smith, was dying Tuesday evening came as a distinct shock to his friends about town.  Only a few days ago, he was at work as usual in his shop
 His brother’s sickness and death was quickly followed by the serious sickness of his wife.  So when Reed developed a violent attack of flu-pneumonia, he was in no condition to resist.  He grew rapidly worse till the end came at 6:30 Tuesday evening.
 Reed Smith was a good mechanic and much more.  He was a skilled workman with the natural tact for understanding and doing difficult jobs.  If he had specialized on one line and had gone to a city where there is a demand for specialists, he would no doubt have achieved great success.  But with the responsibility of a family and greater burdens than most men have to meet, he stuck to his shop in his home town, and did all kinds of repair jobs that came to hand.
 He was kind hearted and jovial in disposition, not inclined to burden others with his personal cares, and only those who knew him rather intimately, understood him best, and appreciated him most.
 The deceased is survived by his wife who is just recovering from a severe attack of pneumonia, and five small children.  Also his aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Smith.
 Funeral services were conducted at the home yesterday afternoon by Rev. M. S. Kennedy and Rev. H. B. Blue, followed by internment in Maplewood Cemetery.

 Mrs. Myrtle Sallie Bruce, 90, Fairhaven Nursing, died Friday, May 26 in Giles County Hospital.
 Funeral services were held Sunday at 2:00 p. m. at Carr and Erwin Chapel with burial in Maplewood Cemetery.  The Rev. Marvin L. Cochran was the officiant.
 A retired seamstress, Mrs. Bruce was born in Tennessee.  She was married first to Carson Reed Smith who preceded her in death in 1919 and then married the late John Bruce.
 Survivors include five daughters, all by her first marriage; Mrs. Grace Torrence and Evelyn Mitchell, Pulaski; Mrs. May Hardiman, Potosi, MO;  Mrs. Lillian Birdsong and Mrs. Ila  Carter, Lexington, KY; 11 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and11 great great grandchildren.
