Vermonter Librarian Leaves Half Million to Free Library
Montpelier Vermont beneficiaries react to a will naming the Vermont Free Public Library Service as a recipient of a residuary trust fund of at least $500,000. Miss Elva Sophronia Smith of Concord New Hampshire died Oct 26 at 94. Income will aid pediatric and general library service for Vermont children, with funds used for books, salaries, training, or other suitable uses. Trust becomes available after her two surviving relatives die. Carnegie Library School of Pittsburgh and FPLS will be sole beneficiaries thereafter. Smith, a Burke Vermont native and Lyndon Institute and State College alumna, taught in northern Vermont before moving to California and joining Carnegie Library School.
