DES MOINES, lA. 



Death of David Stneatbn. 



Word reached this city, May 31, of the 

 tragic death of David Smeaton, of 513 

 Thirty-eighth street, near Stavely, Al- 

 berta, Canada, where he had gone with 

 his wife to spend the summer. 



With Mrs. Smeaton he was driving 

 near their farm, on May 20, when a se- 

 vere thunder storm came up. Lightning 

 struck in the road not a great distance 

 from them and the horse lunged, throw- 

 ing both the occupants of the buggy 

 into the road. Mrs. Smeaton was not 

 injured seriously, but Mr. Smeaton was 

 fatally hurt. He died from the inju- 

 ries the day following. 



Mr. Smeaton was about 73 years of 

 age and for many years has been a resi- 

 dent of Des Moines, owning the green- 

 houses on Ingersoll avenue and raising 

 cut flowers for the retailers. He had 

 accumulated some property, owning his 

 home on Thirty-eighth street, just off of 

 Grand avenue, and considerable farm 

 lands.
