EVANGELIST GYPSY SMITH CALLED AWAY IN DEATH
GYPSY Smith, internationally known evangelist who said he became converted when a woman traded him a Bible for clothespins which he was selling, died last week. Death came to the noted preacher aboard the liner Queen Mary on which he was returning from a trip to England.
Born in a Gypsy tent in England, the evangelist had become known to thousands in Europe and America as Gypsy Smith. He had traveled to the Unite States more than 30 times to conduct revival meetings here.
Besides his children, he is survived by his second wife, whom he married soon after his first wife died.
