General Notes: Husband - Henry Smith


He spent his youth on the homestead place, attended the schools of the township, and early in life began working on the home farm. Here he remained until after his marriage, at which time he came to his present farm, which he purchased from N. VanVoorhis and which was known by old residents as the Fair Ground farm. He then followed general farming and dairying, shipping milk to Pittsburgh, and in 1888 he erected a commodious frame house which the family occupied. He received gas from a well on the farm for all domestic purposes. He also developed an extensive stone quarry on the farm, from which building stone was furnished and limestone for macadamizing streets and roads. Also when the rural telephone was developed, he was a director in the Bethel Telephone Company.
He was a prominent figure in organizing the Finleyville Presbyterian Church, of which he was a trustee for eighteen years. He always took an active interest in affairs of the Democratic party and served as school director, township treasurer and county committeeman.
