Daughter of Phelps & Sarah J. Smith. On the night of September 12, 1900, the Death Angel visited the home of Mr. & Mrs. Phelps Smith, and took away little Ina Bland, the pride and joy of that happy home.
She was six years, one month and twenty-five days old, and though only a child, yet by her winning ways and pleasant smiles she won the hearts of those who were so fortunate as to have known her. In the school room she seemed so willing to perform each duty assigned her. Her bright face will be missed in the coming school, but she is now a pupil of the Heavenly Father, waiting to welcome her loved ones and schoolmates in that brighter world.

Beulah Sarah Smith
Beulah Sarah Smith
The noble woman who is the subject of this tribute departed this life on the night of January 30. 1935. she had only recently passed her 58th birthday and had bravely fought a losing battle against death, which followed a severe attack of heart trouble.
In the presence of a throng of heart-broken friends, she was buried from Leagueville Baptist Church, of which she was a faithful and devoted member, the services being conducted by her Pastor, Rev. C.P. Spivey of Tyler.
The numerous sorrowing friends were mute reminders of the love and esteem in which she was held by those who knew and loved her.
In her going, she leaves behind her a monument of virtue that the storms of time can never destroy. It is consoling to know that, as Rev. Spivey reminded us, her body is gone but her works will live on forever. She was endowed with the patience and kindness that so endeared her to all who knew her. She has written her name in kindness, love and mercy on the the hearts of everyone with whom she came in contact and shall never be forgotten.
Born in Tennessee, she came to Leagueville with her parents when quite young and had lived there for the past 55 years. At the time of her death she was making her home with her sister Mrs. G.W. Adair. Besides her sister she is survived by four brothers: B.P. Smith of Athens, Selman Smith of Leagueville, M.M. Smith of Murchison and Egbert G. Smith of Afton, Tx.
Miss Smith had been a member of the Baptist church for many years.

"IN MEMORY" A TRIBUTE TO MY AUNT BEAULAH SMITH
Beulah, though you have departed
From this earthly house of clay,
We miss you, oh so much, dear,
as we journey on our way.
Memories of sweet thoughts will linger,
As on earth no more you trod,
But your name in golden letters,
Is written in the autograph of God.
We know that you have gone to Heaven,
Safe in the arms of Jesus there,
Waiting for the Judgement morning.
In that land so bright and fair.
We all miss you here on earth, dear,
As your face we see no more;
But we know that you are happy,
On that bright celestial shore.
Our saddened hearts are in comfort,
To know you have gone above,
to live with Jesus and dwell forever,
In the land of everlasting love.
Jesus in his word did promise,
I will gladly give you rest,
Fold you in my arms so tender,
Lean upon My gentle breast.
He's fulfilled the precious promise,
As so oft He's promised oer,
He will fail you, oh no, never,
We should trust Him more and more,
So we'll strive each day, dear Beulah,
'Till our life crown has been won,
To meet you in that flowery garden,
When our work on earth is done!

Judge J. R. Blades composed the following upon his death: Mr. P. Smith, familiarly known as "Shep" Smith, was a conspicous and picturesque figure in Henderson Co. for the past twenty years. He was born March 31, 1848 in Giles Co. Tennessee. On December 30, 1868, just before reaching his 21st year, he married Miss Sarah Jane "Sally" Brownlow, a most estimable young lady who, for 33 years shared his joys and sorrows, brightened and cheered him in life and now in her sorrow blessed his memory for his goodness of heart, gentleness of spirit and loving, kind and tender regard ever manifested to her and all who came in touch with him.
After his marriage he lived in the state of his birth until 1880, at which time he moved to Texas, settling in Leagueville, Henderson Co. where he lived for over 22 years, departing this life on the 4th day of February, 1902. His wife and eight children survive him, three of his children having preceded him in their journey to the home of the blest in heaven.
Col. Gaines C. Smith, father of Mr. P. Smith, still lives in his ripe and honored old age in Alabama. He is a veteran of two wars having served with marked distinction in the Mexican War and again in the Civil War under the Stars & Bars. His valor, gallantry and bravery were so conspicous he rose from the ranks of a Private to the position of Colonel.
Mr. "Shep" Smith was one of Natures true noblemen. In the vicissitudes of life in all it's departments he did his part bravely, nobly. A grand man, a good man, he could not do a little or mean trick or an ignoble thing. As a citizen he measured up to the standard and his conduct and actions were worthy of emulation; zealous of his country's honor, her past greatness and hopeful future, he bore her burdens un-complainingly and shared her prosperity with gladness, glory with pride and not forgetful that his first duty to his state required careful selection of the best to make and minister laws teaching the youth around him to love and honor the brave, the good and true in public life.
Devoting his life to farming, he rebelled not at it's hardships and privations, but gloried in it's substantial comforts and hardy independence.
A consistent and worthy member of the Baptist Church, he practiced practical Christianity and rejoiced in seeing all of his children but the two youngest embrace the Church and live in it's fold.
The home life of husband and proud father was the best of his life and the fruit borne from it is the refined, cultural and intellectual boys and girls that survive him, monuments of his own chaste, pure life, Prof. B. P. Smith, his son, being among the advanced of Henderson Co. school teachers.
Mr. Smith lived well and died well and the community in which he lived so long bears testimony of his exemplary, useful and active life by the love and esteem they bore him while living and memory for him they will ever weep sweet and green.
The dear wife and children so sorely afflicted by the dread calamity are sustained by the thought that the community mourns with them and regret the passing of this upright Christian gentleman who made life better by his sojourn, who dispelled the gloom and brought brightness and cheer throughout the circle of his influence.
May the blessings of our all wise and gracious Father be upon each member of the family and the community who loved and lost so much.
