MONUMENT TO THE MEMORY OF HENRY WESTON SMITH, THE PIONEER PREACHER WHO WAS KILLED BY INDIANS AUG. 20TH, 1876. ERECTED BY SOCIETY OF BLACK HILL PIONEERS AUG. 20TH, 1914" with a small circular picture of people attending "THE UNVEILING, AUG 20TH, 1914". "1914 W.B. PERKINS" in right front corner * * * . WONDERFUL old historic postcard of a monument dedicated to a pioneer preacher killed while walking to perform a church service near DEADWOOD SD. Wikipedia has more information on this man, including information on the monument: In 1914 the Society of Black Hills Pioneers erected a monument on the road between Deadwood and Spearfish, South Dakota, in the approximate area where Smith’s body had been found. In 1994, Highway 85 north of Deadwood, along with the Preacher Smith Monument, was relocated by construction of a four-lane road. A copper time capsule that had been buried in 1914 was opened, providing some period artifacts, such as newspapers; after examination, they, along with additional contemporary items, were returned to the capsule and reburied under the new monument, three miles south of Deadwood on the rebuilt Highway 85. The new monument was rededicated on August 20, 1995, on the 119th anniversary of Smith's murder. The highlight of the ceremony was a reading by local resident, historian, and lawyer Reed Richards of the sermon Preacher Smith had planned to deliver at Crook City that fateful day, 119 years delayed.
