General Notes: Husband - Christian Smith

---

He spent his youth at the old family homestead near Howard, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and in 1850 went to Luthersburg, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, where he was not long afterward married. His first care was to make a home, and, purchasing fifty-seven acres of woodland from Josiah Smith, of Clearfield, he began to clear it, building a hewed log house and barn. As time passed he prospered, and in 1866 he built a large two-story frame house, while in the following year a large bank barn was constucted. In 1885 he bought the George M. Thomson farm of one hundred acres, about two miles east of Luthersburg, and this was occupied by his son-in-law, Mahlon S. Kirk.Mr. Smith always affiliated with the Democratic party. He was active in religious work as a member of the M. E. Church of Luthersburg.
