H. C. "Bill" Smith, 93, of Ashburn passed away Thursday, April 30, 2015 at his
residence after an extended illness.
A United States Army veteran, Mr.
Smith was born in Turner County on April 17, 1922 to the late Jesse James and
Anna Roberts Smith. He was a member and deacon at High Hill Baptist Church where
he served as song leader for 59 years. He was also a member of the Georgia Farm
Bureau.
Mr. Smith is survived by his wife, Ouidafa Conner Smith of
Ashburn.
Bill Smith was truly a great Christian man and South Georgia farmer. I always enjoyed visiting with Bill and his lovely wife. Bill loved the land and the animals that lived on his farm.
Bill was the first died-in-the-wool Democrat I had ever met that no matter the political repercussions, Bill would always "vote the (Democratic) ticket".
It was the first time I had ever heard that term and my first encounter with such ideology in the South.
"Vote the ticket". What a great way to make America a more fascist state.
Look around America. You are blind.
