HIGGINS, Smith, Obituary
Mr. Smith Higgins died at his home on Brooklyn Street, July 31st, surrounded by his family. He leaves a widow, a daughter, and two sons. Such items, with a few other circumstances, have been paragraphed in our local papers. But, perhaps, one or two other thoughts regarding this man, may be profitably expressed; one or two other circumstances noted. He was not a public character, in any sense, yet he had his plans for the future; which he desired to carry out, plans which would benefit his community, as well as himself. He did not fear to die, though he loved life; he had that simple faith in God's goodness, in God's mastery, which in the last analysis of Christianity, as all that remains to any soul, He patiently bore a long and painful illness; he was grateful to his friends and neighbors, leaving them his thanks for their offices of love. He was a man like most of those we see about our streets, living a plain, honest life, a man thoroughly devoid of ostentation or vanity. He wanted to do a full day's work every day. He paid a hundred cents on the dollar, every time. He had the confidence of those who needs advice and guidance in their business. They felt that they were safe in his hands, safe as to judgment, safe as to honest dealing. With the sharp competition of business, it is common to find over-reaching men pretend to think that they are not bound to keep both sides of the account, they forget that legitimate business means a gain for all the interested parties. He did not over-reach, he made no such pretences, he did no such forgetting. Many times we fail to see the true nobility, the high self-sacrifice, of a very quiet career. Public life is sustained and stimulated by public recognition, and public applause. When a man knows that his fellow citizens are watching his course; when he realizes that what he says and does, today, becomes history tomorrow, he will be very unwise, not to live with self-control, with discreetness, with magnaminity. But it is these hidden, natural, unstimulated lives that reveal the true greatness, the strength that comes from within. It depends not upon blaze of trumpet or beat of drum, or the shouting multitude. These lives are unrecorded of history. But let us remember that they deserve the greater credit, not only because of their simple unconsciousness, but because they are the solid masonry which upholds the common wealth, they make the so-called higher achievement possible. And such an unobtrusive, honest, worthy life was that of our friend. - M.A.R. [Wyoming County Times, (Warsaw, N.Y.), August 30, 1888, P.6.]
