  Notes	SMITHSON, Sallie Reese McLemore The Pulaski (TN) Citizen 24 Jun 1936 Mrs. W. B. Smithson, widow of William Burr Smithson, former prominent lawyer and State Senator, died at the Pulaski Hospital about 3 o'clock Friday morning of pneumonia, following an acute illness which began only a few hours before her death. Mrs. Smithson had been at the hospital for about three months recovering from a hip fracture received in a fall at her home, and was so much improved that she had expected to leave the hospital this week. So her unexpected death was a great shock to her relatives and friends. Dr. G. A. Morgan conducted the funeral rites Sunday afternoon at her late home and burial was in Maplewood Cemetery beside her husband who died about nine years ago. Mrs. Smithson formerly was Miss Sallie Reese McLemore, of Spring Hill, her mother having been Harriet Susan Figuers. She married Mr. Smithson on Nov. 21, 1882, and had been a resident of Pulaski since then. She was a member of one of Maury County's most aristocratic families, and "Everbright" her ancestral home at Spring Hill was the scene of many brilliant social events both before and after the Civil War. Mrs. Smithson was a woman of superior qualities and possessed a generous nature, genial disposition and intelligence and practical sense of a high order, and was noted for her love of flowers, shrubs, trees, and pretty landscape effects and devoted much time and energy to their culture. Ane the beautiful home which she sometimes called "Everbright" is a testimonial of her work. Left with the responsibility of managing the estate left by her husband she did so in a way which reflected credit on her efficiency and good judgment. She was a home-loving woman, and spent most of the time looking after her home and its requirements. She had long been a loyal member of the Methodist Church. Surviving are: Nephews, R. N.
