                   Helen Woods Smith
Passed away in Clearfield Hospital after short illness.
Miss Helen Woods DMith of 1060 Bald Eagle avenue, who had been in failing healthfor a year, although able to perform her duties as a clerk in the offices of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper company, up until very recently, died suddenly after her entrance to the Clearfield hosptial on Saturday afternoon. Miss Smith had been a patient sufferer the past year from a goitre and her condition became very serious last week, especially on Friday, when it was decided that an operation was absolutley necessary. She was gotten ready and with several friends, wentto the hospital in an automobile after dinner on Saturday. Before her folks hadarrived home, word was received that she had slipped out of this life into the great eternal world beyond.
Miss helen Smith was one of Tyrone's very best women, She was a quiet, home-loving girl, very devoted to her mother and brothers. She was active in church, Sunday School and Missionary work and gave of her time, money and talents in furthering those useful and very helpful organizations and in helping others to live better and cleaner lives, In the Sunday school where she taught a class of young people, she will be greatly missed as only sickness or death prevented her from being present. She was faithful to every duty. Her life was beautifully lived and in its simplicity won others to follow the Master. In the home where she was so useful, so  kind and loving, she will be missed while those with whom she camein contact know full well that she is safe in the harbor of rest with Him whom she loved to serve.
Miss Smith had been a resident of Tyrone the past 16 years and for several yearshad been employed  as a clerk in the offices of the West Virginia Pulp and Paper company.
