We are called upon this week, to announce the death of Col. Charles B. Smith, of Omaha City, Nebraska, which occurred at Washington, D.C. on Tuesday morning, April 25th. His disease was apoplexy.  Col. Smith was a native of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], from which he removed something over twenty years ago, and our older citizens well [know] Charles B. Smith as a gentlemanly, kind-hearted and generous young man, whose ability and business capacity gave promise of future usefulness, and of success in life.  As we remember him, he has always been an active and energetic man.  In about 1854, he went to Omaha City, and was one of the first settlers there.  Having much to do in organizing the new State of Nebraska, he held several important offices under the U.S. Government in Nebraska, and by a faithful discharge of these duties, earned and received the confidence and good opinion of the prominent men of his State.  During the late civil war, Col. Smith was a portion of the time in the army, where his health became impaired, from which he never fully recovered, but had been for some time gradually improving, so that this spring he felt himself nearly restored, and able to endure the fatigue of labor, and he was, just before his sudden death, finishing up some of his business which his previous ill health had caused him to delay.  His remains were brought to this village on Monday evening, and buried on Tuesday, in our Cemetery, where his father, and mother, and all of his brothers and sisters, had been laid before him.  His age was 51 years.
