C. S. SMITH IS DEAD Funeral Will Be Held at Three This Afternoon Mrs. Clarence S. Smith, who for seventeen years has been an invalid, passed away at her home, 1632 St. Francis avenue, at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. Seventeen years ago she suffered a stroke of paralysis and only a few months ago complications set in that resulted in her death. Mrs. Smith came to Kansas from New York in 1884 and though she has been confined to her home most of the time, by her sweet disposition and winning ways, she made many friends. Being an invalid for so many years, she required much attention, but the family and friends always found it a pleasure to serve her. She was a patient sufferer. Mrs. Smith was a daughter of G. Lapham of this city and a niece of Elbert G. Lapham, ex-United States senator from New York. She was a mother of nine children, five of whom are living. Of the living there are four sons-- Chester, Robert, Arthur and Gain--and a daughter, Miss Rae. The funeral will be held from the home of her sister, Mrs. H. I. Addington, of 1515 North Emporia avenue, at 3 o'cloc this afternoon. Rev. Harmon of this city and Rev. McCormick Marsh will officiate. Interment will be made in Highland cemetery.
