    Mrs W. W. E. Smith Dies in Harvey Station

    The death occurred last night at her home here of Mrs W. W. E. Smith, one of the oldest and best loved people in this section of York County, at the age of 94 years.

    Mrs Smith was born in Harvey Station, a daughter of the late David Little and Margaret Herbert and for 75 years conducted a general store here and was well known all through the district for her honesty and integrity and fair dealing with the public.   She was an ardent member of St. Andrews United Church, active in all its work until age prevented her taking part.   For the past five years she had made her home with her granddaughter, Mrs C. Arthur Smith.   She was a life member of the W.M.S., a charter member of the W.A. and Red Cross and since the outbreak of the present war she had knit 100 pairs of socks in addition to much other work.   She was a gracious lady, one whose companionship was sought by old and young alike and her death will occasion sincere sorrow.   She is survived by a son, Louis Smith in Hillcrest, Alberta.   Five daughters and two sons predeceased her.   There are eight grandchildren including Donald Smith, M.B.E., Dartmouth, N.S. who will be here for the funeral tomorrow.

    The funeral takes place tomorrow afternoon from her late home with service at St. Andrews Church at 2:30 o'clock and interment in Harvey Cemetery.

    She married William Walter Embleton Smith, son of Joseph Smith & Mary Embleton, 5 Jul 1869 in Harvey, York Co., NB By Rev. Samuel Johnson. Born 20 Apr 1839 in Alnick, Eng. Died 8 Feb 1886 in Harvey. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery. Occupation Merchant, General Store.

    Witnesses to marriage were John Little and Isabella Little.

   William was born in England, and came to New Brunswick as a young man.   He was a nephew of the Embletons who came to NB with the first settlers of Harvey.   William's parents and siblings stayed in England.

    William and Janie opened a general store in the village of Harvey shortly after they were married, which Janie continued to operate after the death of her husband, and the store was passed down through the generations to her granddaughter Margaret and Arthur Smith, who sold it upon their retirement.   The store has retained its original name, W.W.E.Smith, and is still in operation.
