ESTHER A. SMITH [Esther P. Mrs. Smith ]/1829-1912 MRS P SMITH RESIDENT HERE SINCE '42 DEAD - OVERCOME WHILE WORKING IN YARD, DEATH IN FEW MINUTES - WIDOW OF LATE PERRY P SMITH Death came to Mrs. Esther A Smith widow of the late P.P. Smith and one of the oldest settlers of Manitowoc, almost without warning late Thursday afternoon when, while working in the garden Mrs. Smith was overcome and died within a few minutes. News of the death of Mrs. Smith was received with deep regret by many friends, especially among the ever lessening munber of those who were pioneer settlers. Mrs. Smith, who resided on North Ninth street, had appeared in her usual health and had been working about the yard and garden planting flowers during the afternoon, and was overcome while at her work. She was able to make her way to the house where a delivery boy carrying a package to the house found her and at her request summoned neighbors and and called a physician. Mrs Dolphin, who hastened to the home, found Mrs. Smith all but unconscious and realizing that the end was near summoned others. Mrs. Smith could not be revived and when a phsyician reached the home was breating her last. A resident of the city since 1842, Mrs. Smith was probably the oldest pioneer settler of her sex in the county and despite her eighty two years was alert and active up to the day of her death, attending to many of her own business affairs and visiting with friends daily. Though not strong, Mrs. Smith seemed to enjoy excellent health and the news of her death was a surprise and shock. A pathetic thing in connection with the death of Mrs. Smith is the absence of her three sons, two of whom will not be able to reach here for the funeral, one being in Europe and another in South America. ESTER ALMIRA CHAMPLIN Ester Almira was the daughter of Hiram Clyde Champlin and Almira Boardman of Middlebury, Vermont, in which city Mrs. Smith was born on January 29th, 1830; thus being at the time of her death aged 82 years, 3 months and 17 days. The Champlin family consisting of father, mother and five children, came to Manitowoc in September 1842 and made it their permanent home. The father Hiram Champlin died a few years after his arrival but the widow and family remained. Ester Almira Champlin was married on January 8th, 1848 to Perry P Smith and enterprising and active young business man of the little village. It was he who built the first vessel constructed in Manitowoc, a little schooner called the Convoy. He was engaged in lumbering,merchandising and in buying and selling real estate. In all his various business affairs, Mrs. Smith was an efficient helper and active assistant to her husband and they were prosperous. In the very height of his useful and successful business life Mr. Smith was stricken with blindness, at first partial and then total. This occurence which would have discouraged many a weaker person,only served to develop in Mrs. Smith a splendid and remarkable character.Thenceforward her whole life was devoted to her husband. She was his business manager for a long time. She spent long hours in reading to him and discussing the prominent events of the period. Her mind naturally keen and apt to learn was developed by this discipline until she became one of the brightest and best informed women in the city. Her memory was remarkably retentive even to her last day and her knowledge of early events and noted personages of pioneer days made her conversation at all times interesting and instructive. She was graceful in form and feature even after she passed her fourscore years. Her manner was genial and pleasing, her heart warm and she clung with the fondest affection to the surviving friends of her early days. In all her busy life, her home, husband, and children were her chief care she became the grand and attractive waman she was through her efforts for them. She is survived by her three sons and their families, Hiram Champlin Smith the oldest is a retired business man and capitalist of San Francisco California. Alonzo R Smith is a prosperous dry goods merchant in New York City. He and his wife are expected to reach here on saturday which time funeral arrangements will be decided. Ira P Smith, the youngest son is a prosperous lumberman in South America, being located at Curityba, Brazil. Mrs. Smith is also survived by her sister, Mrs. Laura Morse, who is now the sole survivor of the old pioneer Champlin family. The passing of Ester Almira Smith closes a long and interesting chapter in the early history of Manitowoc.

The young man was taken sick about three weeks ago in Depere, was brought home under severe attack of inflammation of the lungs and grew worse, in spite of every effort for his benefit, until death released him from his sufferings.

BYRON SNIFFIN MAN, WHO WOULD STARVE SELF AT WIFE'S GRAVE, SANE Nothing is wrong with the mental condition of Byron Sniffen, well-known local resident who was found near his wife's grave at the cemetery 10 days ago and who would have died of self-imposed starvation if he had been found only a few days later, phyicians decided at an examination in probate court this morning. Sniffen has been under observation at the county asylum for the past 10 days and the regular hours and meals of the institution made a marked change in his condition. Sniffen, formerly a well-known conservative man of the city, has been more or less melancholy since the death of his aged wife a number of years ago, his wife dying as a result of injuries received when she was truck by a city-owned truck. The question of caring for Sniffen is now confronting authorities, for Sniffen, a resident of Manitowoc for many years, has recently been in the town of Cooperstown, remaining there long enough to establish a legal residence and it is probable the county will have to take care of him.
