General Notes: Husband - Simeon Kellar Recer Smith

---

He attended the public school nearby for two years. When twelve years of age he left school and went into the lumber woods, spending four years in the lumber camps of Clarion and Jefferson counties, Pennsylvania. He had a little capital, and when the oil excitement was on he embarked in the oil production, starting in at Parkers Landing, and continuing in that district successfully for twelve years. He then spent five years in the St. Petersburg district, still operating in oil. He then purchased the store, stock and goodwill of Roger Brothers, and for eight years engaged in mercantile business. In 1884 he was appointed postmaster at St. Petersburg, holding until 1888, in which year he sold his business to John A. Kurtz. He inherited and purchased one hundred and thirty acres of good land near Parkers Landing, and after retiring from the mercantile business erected suitable modern buildings and residence, returning after all his busy years to the occupation of his early life. He specialized in the breeding of fine live stock and white Leghorn chickens, for which he was famous in the neighborhood.
He was a Free Mason of high degree, belonging to Clarion Lodge, No. 277, Free and Accepted Masons; Clarion Chapter, No. 259, Royal Arch Masons; Franklin Commandery, Knights Templar; Pittsburgh Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, holding the thirty-second degree.
