Zionsville Times - Jan 6, 1888
Nellie, wife of Morton Smith died December 27th 1887, of dropsy and congestion of the lungs. The deceased, whose maiden name was Stoker, was born in the county, near Jamestown, November 4th, 1804, and was married to Mortion Smith Dec. 2d, 1883. She leaves a husband, and two little children without the one that makes the home. Although her sickness lasted but a few days she seemed to realize from the first that she would not recover, and calmly made all the arrangements for her departure, giving her two little ones to their grandma. Her body was laid to rest at Mt. Tabor church, near Fayette, by the side of her little one that died about a year ago."
