Services Held In
Dallas Nov. 1 For
Sam L. Smith
Funeral services were held in
the First Baptist Church of Dal-
las on November 1, 1952, for Sam
L. Smith, 80 years old, and a re-
tired accountant and investment
man. He was a long time church
worker and a familiar sight for
half a century as he rode his bi-
cycle on the streets of Dallas.
Mr. Smith was riding his bicycle
home from church following re-
vival services October 30 when his
bicycle was struck by a bus. He
died without regaining conscious-
ness.
Mr. Smith came to Dallas in
1902 and was an accountant at the
old M. H. Wolf and Company, cot-
ton broker, and later kept books
for Charles Ott, Inc. About 20
years ago he retired and operated
his own investment business.
Through all those years he rode
his bicycle, never trading his mode
of travel for that of the automo-
biles—even when it meant visiting
homes of church members on Sun-
day morning to wake them in time
to attend services.
The church played an important
part in his life. He had been one
of the deacons since 1905, taught
a Sunday School class for many
years. He rarely ever missed a
, service or prayer meeting. At
church one would see Mr. Smith
right up front near the preacher.
One of his favorite expressions
was that he wanted to be at the
front so he could be sure and get
“the drippings of the Sanctuary.”
Mr. Smith came many times in
the early days of the Baptist En-
campment to Palacios to set up
tents and help out in the annual
meeting. The Encampment held a
warm place in his life and Mrs.
Smith is a regular summer visitor
to our city occupying the house
they own on the grounds-, With
his passing, Palacios Encampment
and the Baptist work has lost a
faithful and loyal supporter.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Sam Smith.
