Obituary. "There is a Reaper whose name la Death, And, with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between." Benjamin Smith, the subject of this sketch, was born in Springfield township, Franklin county, May 2, 1825, and departed this life, April 1, 1901, aged 75 years, 10 months and 29 days. His entire life was spent in this immediate vicinity. His parents were Samuel and Lutitia Smith. They emigrated to this state from Pennsgivania in the year 1814, and by their industry and perseverance out of the wild woods they opened up for cultivation a beautiful farm.

To them were born six children, Benjamin being the youngest. He, like his father, engaged in agricultural pursuits. In 1845 he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Landon, of Butler county, Ohio. Thus in early manhood he secured for himself a helpmeet and together, hand in hand. they shared the hardships of pioneer life, and by their industry and frugality odtained much of this world's goods.

To this union were born seven children. One died in infancy, another in young manhood and five are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving father. The mother died in 1875. In the year 1878 he was again united in mrrriage to Mrs. Margaret A.

Myers. She has been a faithful companion to him and helped to make his home pleasant and attractive. Mr. Smith united with the M. E.

Church at Springfield years ago and loved to go to the house of God. He was liberal in his views and enjoyed going to other churches as well as his own. He always loved to come to Big Cedar. He loved to see the churches prosper and gave of his means to their support. Just as long as be was able to go he attended divine service, always having a cheerful word and smile and a hearty shake of the hand for every ope.

He has won for himself many friends. Mr. Smith will be greatly missed in this community, but how sad will be the home! Father will not be there. His earthly home was very beantiful, but it is not to be compared to that heavenly home. There will be no sorrow or suffering there and all tears shall be wiped away.

Mr. Smith has been a great sufferer of late years. He bore it all with christian patience and courage. His companion, his children and stepchildren were all very kind and attentive to his wants. Day after day and night after night they watched at his bedside, and every want WAS supplied as near as could be done, but he gradually grew weaker and at 2 p.

April 1, his spirit took its flight to the mansions of rest. "Peaceful be in thy silent grave so low: stumber, no more wilt join our number, Thou no more our sorrows know. Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life has fled, A And in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tears are shed." CARD OF THANKS.

By wearing a Benson's Porous Plaster on the chest and back you protect the lungs from cold and chil and (with ordinary care) you are safe from grip.

For those whe are already suffering from grip, or from the usual winter coughs and colds, Benson's Plasters are a sure and speedy relief and cure. Highly medicinal and scientific.
