General Notes: Husband - Joseph Lowry Smith

---

He was born near Turkey Run, Perry township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. He was educated in the public school of West Freedom, and on arriving at youthful manhood began working in the oil field. In the autumn of 1898 he enlisted in Company L, Forty-first Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, serving twenty-one months in the Philippines. He saw hard service, spending the greater part of his term of service on the firing line in the various engagements with the "little brown men," but fortunately escaping without injury. After his return from the army he learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed successfully as journeyman and contractor until 1908. In the latter year he purchased one hundred and twenty-four acres of improved land near West Freedom in Perry township, where in addition to a general contracting business he conducted general farming operations. He was a Republican in politics, and a member of Parker Lodge, No. 521, Free and Accepted Masons, also of the Independent Or-der of Odd Fellows.
