| Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. |

TRIBUTE TO HIS CHARACTER AND WORTH AS MAN AND CITIZEN
Orrin Smith was born in the town of Rutland, Pa., in 1820.
He was twice married, the first time in October 1854, to Miss Frances Ellen
Hill, who died in June, 1892; the second time, Nov. 6th, 1897, to Mrs.
Lydia Chatman, a sister of his first wife. Brother Smith was converted,
and joined the Methodist Episcopal church in Sullivan, soon after his first
marriage, and continued a faithful member of the same to the time of his
death. He had been in failing health for a long time, and for more
than a year had been unable to attend to the work of his farm or the services
of the church. This was a great cross to him. At last, giving
up all hope of ever being able to again take up the duties of farm life,
he left his farm in Sullivan and moved to Mansfield, where his death occurred
on Nov. 6th, 1904. The funeral services were held in the Union church,
on the State road, Nov. 9th, his pastor, the Rev. Daniel Stoker of Mainesburg,
officiating. He was the oldest of a family of seven children—two
sons and five daughters. Four of his sisters, Mrs. Louisa Smith,
Mrs. Nancy Soper, Mrs. Rosina Smith and Mrs. Julia Jarolemon, are left
to mourn his loss. The one brother, Vaughn W., died nine years ago,
and one sister, Henrietta, died when three years and six months of age.
He had no children of his own, but two nieces, Mrs. Mary Case and Pearl
Hill, who were with him at the time of his death, were to him like daughters,
and they mourn his loss as though he were a father. He was
a man honored and respected by all who knew him, a loyal citizen, a kind
friend and neighbor, and a devout Christian. Brother Smith will be
greatly missed in the church and in the community. The sympathy of
the many friends goes out to the widow in her loneliness, and also to the
other bereaved. [King Hill Cemetery]
