Precious darling though hast left us
Left us, yes, forever more;
But we hope to meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore.

Since our dear one has gone;
But oh! a brighter home than ours,
In heaven is now thine own.

Obituary:
Sherwood News Sheet March 20,1912
IN MEMORIAM
James C Smock was born in Nodiway County, Missouri, August 13,1848. Date of 
death, March 15,1912,at 9:40 a.m.
he moved to Oregon in 1854, coming to Sherwood when only 19 years old. On June 
30,1869,he was married to Ella Sebastian, to which union was born seven 
children as follows: Henry Lee, Nettie May, Rosa belle, James C., Dora Ellen, Ira 
I, and Irwin Ray, five of whom are living, James C. dying in infancy and Henry Lee 
being killed in a railroad accident about ten years ago.
Services were held over the remains of the deceased in the Congragational 
Church last Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Jesse Edwards, of Newberg, delivering the 
sermon. Internment took place at the Hood View cemetary, a large number of 
friends following the remains to the final resting place.
Mr. Smock was a member in good standing of the United Artisans, A.O.U.W. and 
I.O.O.F., the latter having charge of the burial. He was also a mayor of the 
town of Sherwood at the time of his death, which office he held several 
different times, About thirty years ago he established the first store in 
Sherwood continuing the business about twenty three or twenty four 
years, selling out to J.E. Morback something like six years ago. When the post 
office was established here Mr. Smock was appointed as postmaster, holding that 
position for several years and was also first railroad agent at this 
point, serving in this capacity for nearly twenty five years.
Mr. Smock has been a member of the Friends church something like twenty three 
years, during which time he has always tried to live an upright and exemplary 
Christian life. Up till a few years ago, when his health was impaired, he took an 
active part in the church work of this community, being teacher of the bible 
class in the Sunday School and singing in the church choir. Those who knew him 
best say that if he has an enemy the person is not known. With the relatives 
the community is bereaved. They mourn for the loss of a noble character, one who 
has been an uplift to the town , and who, by his straightforward, manly 
conduct, has endeared himself to all alike.
