The Ludington Chronicle
Wednesday, 12 December, 1906

         One of the largest funerals ever held in Scottville
       was that of S. M. SMYTH Friday afternoon. All business
       places were closed during the services. The sermon was
       preached by Rev. B. H. Burtt of Ludington. Martin Car-
       penter, Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Kobe and E. L. Cole sang
       three beautiful pieces. The Masons turned out in uni-
       form to pay the last tribute to their brother who was
       one of the founders of this order. Interment was made
       in the Brookside cemetery beside his wife and daughter
       who preceded him a few years ago. A profusion of bautfi-
       ful flowers given by the Masons and loving friends 
       covered the casket in which lay one of Scottville's
       foremost business men. Frank Dunwell, Geo. N. Stray
       and H. C. Ransom of Ludington attended the funeral
       of their brother Mason.
