Timothy H. (Tim) Smith, 74, went to the Lord on October 8, at Hadlow Center, after a courageous battle with Parkinsons. He was born on September 21, 1937 in New Stanton PA., to his late parents Amos and Golda Smith. And preceded in death by brothers, Emerson and Morris Smith and two nephews and three nieces.

Tim was a faithful member of Southside United Methodist Church. He served as leader of the Prayer Partners, was active in the Baxter Boys Bible Study, S.A.L.T Class and the Friends Ministry. He will be best remembered for his great sense of humor and being a man of God.
