The Citizen in its current issue has the following to say regarding the late Franklin Smith, announcement of whose death has been made by the Herald: "In the death of Franklin Smith, which occurred last Sunday morning, this community loses one of its most upright and honorable citizens, who will be missed not only among neighbors and intimate friends but by the community at large, besides leaving a grief-stricken widow and one son, who deeply feels the affliction. Comforting as it may be for those who are left behind to look back at its former consistent Christian life and high moral character, yet such men are sadly missed. Although Mr. Smith has not been feeling very well for some time, no serious danger was apprehended. Early on Sunday morning he was taken with severe pain in the region of the heart and died almost before medical aid could be summoned. The immediate cause of his death is thought to be neuralgia of the heart. Mr. Smith was born in Wolcott and was 62 years, two months and 14 days of age at the time of his death. He had resided in Phelps nearly all of his life, and had been a earnest and devout member of the First Presbyterian church of Phelps for many years. His son, Rev. George W.
