SMART, Frank

Posted By:Donna Bell Cross

Date: Thursday, 2 December 1999, at 10:10:17 p.m.

--A sad case of drowning occured in Silver Lake, near Eagle river, on the M.L.S & W R'y Sunday afternoon. Jesse Hull and his seven year old son of Eagle River and Frank Smart were the names of the parties. It seems the party was out on a fishing excursion; they went in bathing and Smart took the boy on his back into deep water to teach him to swim. Smart, being taken with cramps they both began to cry for help and the father, Jesse Hull, went to their rescue when he too was drowned. Parties near by went to their rescue but were too late. The bodies were recovered and that of Frank Smart was brought to this place and buried Tuesday afternoon.

The article re: drowning of Frank Smart was in the following issue of The Bayfield County Press, Saturday, July 7th, 1888



FELL THROUGH THE ICE AND IS DROWNED
Missed By His companions, Who Return And Find Him.

Captain A.B. Smith lost his life last Saturday by going through the ice, while returning from the fishing grounds, near the south end of Rice island. The water was about fifteen feet deep where he went through. His companions, after missing him started back to look for him, but were unable to reach the place where he went through until they procured a boat. They pulled him out with their hooks and lines and brought him back home. Capt. Smith was 55 years of age, and was well known at this end of the lakes, having sailed on different boats here for many years. He was born at Lexington, Mich., August 6, 1841; coming to Bayfield in July, 1869, was married to Miss Martha Hughes May 20, 1871.

The deceased leaves two children and aged mother who have the sympathy of the entire community.

The remains were taken in charge bu the Odd Fellows and were buried in Greenwood cemetery Tuesday afternoon.

The family of the deceased hereby extend sincere thanks for assistance rendered them by friends in their recent affiliation.

After an illness extending over a long period of time, George W. Smith, long a resident of the Iron River region, passed away Saturday morning [Jan. 23, 1937] at four o'clock at his home.

He was born at Newport, New Hampshire, March 23, 1848, and when six years of age the family took Horace Greeley's advice and went west, locating in Hennepin county, Minn.

Mr. Smith was a lumber scaler in the early days of lumbering here and he bought some land southeast of town and developed a small farm. He followed farming until advancing age and impaired health made it impractical to continue in that work, so the family moved into town, where they acquired a comfortable home and have since resided. The deceased was 89 years of age at the time of his death.

The funeral was held on Monday afternoon, with services at the Congregational Church conducted by Rev. Donald A. Mills, former pastor, and interment was at the City cemetery. Odd Fellows conducted ritualistic services at the grave and the pallbearers were members of that order.

Survivors are his wife, Elizabeth; three daughters, Maude Parlin, of this city; Elsie Smith, of Mansfield, Ohio, and Mrs. Florence Vanderberg, of Lansing, Mich.; three sons, Newell B., of Sandstone, Minn.; Richard G. of Superior, and Herbert H., Green Bay, besides three nieces and eleven grandchildren. The North Funeral Home was in charge.

Though an invalid for years, Mr. Smith bore up cheerfully through all his suffering, and his good cheer and happy philosophy endeared him doubly to all.

ANOTHER OLD RESIDENT GONE

It is with extreme regret that many Bayfield people learned this week, of the death of James Henry Smith, which occurred at his home on Third street Monday morning at one o’clock. Mr. Smith was one of Bayfield’s old and well known residents who cast his lot with the town just forty years ago November next, and witnessed it’s advance from a small hamlet to it’s present size and stability.

James Henry was born on Beaver Island, sixty-seven years, on month and sixteen days prior to the time of his death and was the son of John E. Smith, one of the Canadian pioneers.. The deceased came to Bayfield as a young man and has made his home with his family hee since then.

He engaged in the fishing industry and continued in the business until about three years ago, when failing health compelled him to retire from it; since then he has farmed to some extent.

He has always been an industrious man–one of mild habits and nature, and he leaves scores of friends to morn his death.

During the past three years Mr. Smith has been in failing health caused from Bright’s Disease, which was the immediate cause of death. Besides his wife, he leaves a son Earl, two sisters, Mrs. Peter DeBriae, of Bayfield and Mrs. Geo. Spranger, of Milwaukee; one brother, Newton Smith of this city, all of whom were present when the end came.

To those sorrowing relatives the Press and its readers extend the deepest sympathy and condolence.

The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock, Rev. W.R. Shelt officiating. Interment was made in Greenwood cemetery.

A SAD DEATH

Clyde Southmayd, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. F.E. Southmayd, died on Friday morning, December 3. The cause of his death was heart failure and rheumatism.

The death was a surprise to all, as he had been sick but about six weeks and the blow to his parents and friends was a sad one.

The deceased was a member of the Senior Class of the Bayfield High School, and at the time of his death had just passed his seventeenth birthday.

Short funeral services were held at the house this morning at 8:15 and the remains taken to Clear Lake for interrment, on the morning train.

The bereaved parents have the hearfelt sympathy of the entire community in their recent affliction, the death of their only child. [Bayfield County Press, Saturday, Dec 4, 1897]

SOUTHMAYD, Clyde NOTE: Cause of death is named as heart failure and rheumatism. This transcriber was curious about rheumatism as a cause of death and turned to the dictionary, finding the expected definition of aching joints, ect. However, the dictionary definition of RHEUMATIC FEVER is as follows: "A severe, probably infectious disease chiefly affecting children and young adults, characterized by painful inflammation around the joints, typically intermittent fever, and inflammation of the pericardium and valves of the heart: sometimes called RHEUMATISM."

Not only did this explain Clyde Southmayd's death to me, but it helped clear up a medical mystery regarding one of my own ancestors. My g-grandfather was discharged from the Civil War navy (age 19) with reference made to having contracted "ague and rheumatism". I now know that he had Rheumatic Fever.
