General Notes: Husband - J. L. (Levi?) Smith

---

He was for three years in the heavy artillery service during the Civil war, stationed at Fort Delaware. [Surprising, considering the date of birth given - he would have been quite young. - Ed.] After his return home he worked in the oil district of McKean County, Pennsylvania, until 1881, when he went to Ohio, and studied telegraphy. For six years he was in the employ of the Santa Fe Railroad Co., spent four years in Garden City, KS, was then in Conway, Arkansas, and thence went to New Mexico, where he remained one year. He was one of the first men to enter Oklahoma, at which place he remained until 1895, when he removed to Virginia, and was working at the pumping station of the Standard Oil Co., near Pittsburgh, at a salary of $90 per month.
