• Notes

  January 14, 1903 Waco Times Herald Wednesday "UNCLE" TOM SMITH DEAD The Well Known Auctioneer Died Suddenly Yesterday Morning. Funeral this afternoon Captain Tom L. Smith, affectionately known as Uncle Tom Smith died suddenly at his residence on College Heights yesterday morning. He had been confined to his room for some time with la grippe, but there was no thought that he was seriously ill. Yesterday morning he grew suddenly worse and in a short time he passed to his reward. Captain Smith was in his sixty-fourth year and was a native of Tennessee. He has lived in Texas for a number of years and most of that time has been spent in Waco. He was well known in this city and no one ever met him but was his friend. For the past few years he has been an auctioneer and his familiar voice and towering form; his well known cry and his pleasant smile were such as to attract attention everywhere. He was possessed with a ready wit that made him attractive and there was always a ray of sunshine about him that caused all who were near him to enjoy themselves. He was a brave Confederate soldier and was a member of Pat Cleburne camp, U. C. V. of this city. The funeral will take place from the residence on College Heights this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and all Confederate Veterans in the city are expected to attend the funeral. The family have the sincere sympathy of their friends in their bereavement.
