General Notes: Husband - Capt. Henry Smith

---

He was the youngest in a family of nine children-five sons and four daughters.
During his youth he learned the blacksmith's trade, but as his strength was not sufficient to stand such arduous labor he abandoned the business and turned his attention to agricultural pursuits. He owned and operated a small farm, in addition also working by the day in order to support his family. His title of "Captain" was obtained by serving as such in a militia company. At the polls he always cast his ballot in support of the Democratic party, in the success of which he took a deep interest, and filled the position of constable and other township offices. In early life he was a Lutheran, but later joined the Evangelical Church. He died at the age of eighty years, and his wife passed away when about in her seventieth year.
