Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, March 25, 1840
Died: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on Thursday, the 19th inst., of Scarlet Fever and Canker Rash, Girard [Smith], the son and only child or --nes H. Smith, Under Sheriff of this county, aged 8 years and 6 months.
There was an early determination of the disease to the head which deprived him of reason, except at short intervals, after throwing him into a state of frantic wildness. This rendered his sickness, much of the time, heart-rending and agonizing. Of a sudden, nature sunk, the storm subsided, and he fell quickly into the peaceful slumbers of death, greatly to the relief of his agonizing parents and attendants. His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. A. Wheelock, Pastor of the Baptist church in this village from Isa, 52, 7 "Thy God reigneth." The speaker endeavored to illustrate the doctrine of the wisdom and goodness of God in the dispensation of the darkest and most mysterious Providences. Thus has died among us another as lovely a child, probably as ever lived. Girard was comely in his person, possessing one of the sweetest dispositions, and in his manners was uncommonly graceful and attractive. He loved the sanctuary and was always cheerful and glad to accompany his pious parents to the house of God for their sabbath devotions A smile of gladness was often seen lit up upon the countenances of the father and mother as they marked the sprightliness of their boy and observed the modesty and gracefulness of his manner in entering the church. He was one of the idols of the sabbath school, full of animation, imparting life and spirit to his class, and to the public examinations which are conducted by the Pastor during the sabbath informations. What he was in the sabbath school room, he was also in the domestic circle; constituting a kind of central attraction to all the family and giving a zest to all their enjoyments, especially during the more leisure hours of their winter evenings, when they reckoned upon being enlivened by Girard and his books. He studiously avoided the company of wicked persons and was so shocked at the profanity he occasionally heard in the streets, that he could not be persuaded to repeat the oaths he had heard. He manifested a deep interest in pious persons and in religious devotions, often followed his pious step-mother to mingle his prayers with hers in secret. At times, also [..unreadable..] altar, he has unsolicited followed his father in prayer. Precious child! He lived long enough to win to himself many friends, and died after three days dreadful sickness bemoaned and bewept by the aged and the young.
