A. Smith, age 94, of Belmond, died Saturday (Jan. 16, 2010) at the

Funeral

VisItation will be from 4 to 7 p.m., today (Monday, Jan. 18), at the
Andrews Funeral Home, 516 First St. S.E., Belmond, and continue one hour
prior to the services at the church Tuesday.
The family suggests those wishing to express their sympathies through a
memorial in Harold's name consider the Belmond Medical
Center, and outdoor
organization of their choice, or to the donor's wishes.
Harold
Arnold Smith, was born on May 12, 1915, at Earlham, the son of William
Tanner and Laura (Arnold) Smith. He
attended Dexter
High School near Earlham
and graduated with the Class of 1932.
Harold
moved to Belmond in 1932 through connections that he had made with Dr.
Leinbach's brother. After settling in the Belmond area in 1937, he
farmed for four years. Harold then began his life- long career of being
a self-employed mink rancher, a love and vocation he continued for
nearly 50 years.
Harold
was united in marriage to Jennie Pals on Feb. 17, 1939, at the Immanuel
Reformed Church Parsonage. The couple's union was blessed with four
children, including, sons, Robert W. Smith, James W. Smith, Bruce H.
Smith, and one daughter, Judy K. Smith. They raised their family in
rural Belmond on the family farm.
Harold
had a life-long and very strong faith. He had been active in the
Immanuel Reformed Church in numerous capacities, including serving on
the church consistory and co-chairing of building of the new church.
His
family was always of utmost importance in his life and he looked forward
to spending anytimes that he could in their presence, be it at the
holidays, family get togethers, on outing to an area lake, or almost
anything that meant spending time in their presence. Harold was always
interested young people and teaching them the values of life and skills
for the future. Harold was a long time volunteer as a 4-H leader and
volunteer with the organization. He had also done some cattle judging.
He was the consumate outdoorsman throughout his entire 90- plus years.
He was an avid fisherman and jumped at each and every opportunity to
partake of this passsion whether it meant an outing with his family
members or a day spent on the lake with his buddies. He enjoyed hunting
and even as his health declined one could often find Harold looking out
the window with his binoculars for wildlife. Even in recent times, if he
could get in the boat he would be up for a day on the lake. He raised
large and meticulously weeded garden and beautiful flowers. Harold was
also reknowned for his famous hand-shelled popcorn. Those who crossed
his life path will remember him as a pleasant and welcoming gentleman
with a special twinkle in his eye and a warm handshake.
His
memory will live on in the lives of his sons, Robert W. Smith, Belmond,
James W. (Chris) Smith, Post Falls, Idaho, Bruce H. (Pat) Smith, Mason
City,; and his daughter, Judy K. (Jon) Klink, Klemme; his nine
grandchildren; one step- granddaughter; and two
step-great-granddaughters; nieces; nephews, other extended family and
many friends.
He was
preceded in death by his parents; wife, Jennie in 1982; grandsons,
Micheal Smith and Baron Smith; brother, Howard Smith; Sister, Elizabeth
Brandenburg; and daughter-in-law, Carolyn Smith.
