March 29, 1903 - Dr. Azor A. Smith the Republican went to press too early last week, to give as full a biographpical
notice of the late Dr. A. A. Smith as intended. The doctor's birthplace was in Licking County, Ohio from whence
he moved to Illinois and in 1859 went to Colorado. During his residence in Aurora, Ill. He was made a mason and
continued in good standing in the order for 42 years and over, during which long time he held many places of honor
in the fraternity. When the war came on he enlisted in the First Colorado Cavalry, as assistant surgeon and was
afterward made surgeon with the rank of Major. At first the regiment acted as infantry, but was subsequently mounted
and acted as cavalry. After the war he settled in Kansaas, in Linn County, and was twice elected a member of the
legislature from that county. Later he removed to Kansas City, in order to have a wider field for the practice
of his profession and after a few years returned to Colorado. He was postmaster of the city of Leadville for one
term and later was elected justice of the peace and police magistrate at Anaconda, in the Cripple Creek District.
He served there as long as his health would permit and after three years ago resigned, sold his property and with
his wife came to this city where he lived till his death on Friday morning last. Dr. Smith was a man of culture
and of many parts. During his residence in this city his affliction prevented his becoming well known, but to all
with whom he became acquainted he impressed most favorable. His good wife labored incessantly for the comfort of
his last days, and afforded an abundant example of "The beauty of woman's devotion." The funeral services
took place at this late residence on north main street Saturday afternoon conducted by his Masoni brethern and
attended by a number of his old comrades in arms. He was burie din the soldiers cemetery with his comrades who
have gone before. At the time of his death he was 72 years, 7 months and 24 days. |
