Captain E. M. Smith died Sunday morning of senility at his home near Pilot Knob, this county. He was 80 years of age, a devout member of the Presbyterian Church and a native of Simpson County. Mr. Smith was a brother of the late Quingle Plutarch Smith, one of the wealthiest farmers of Northwest Simpson County, who bequeathed a large portion of his estate to the Presbyterian Church at Pilot Knob, and a son of the late John and Nancy Sloss Smith. He was the last surviving member of his family. He was never married. Mr. Smith was one of the most highly educated men in this section. He was an ex-Confederate soldier having served with distinction through the entire civil war, at the close of which he went to Mexico. There he remained a number of years. He spoke Spanish as fluently as the natives. On his return he located in Butler County, but several years ago he returned to Simpson County and lived on a farm adjoining the one of which he was born and reared. The funeral took place at his late residence Monday, being conducted by Rev. L. F. Goodwin.
