General Notes: Husband - Reuben Smull

---

He first attended school at Rebersburg, Pennsylvania, with John Burkett as his teacher, and he afterward pursued his studies as he could in the intervals of farm work. Short as the winter terms were, he could not attend full time, his help being required at home. At the age of fifteen he began to learn the mason's trade with his father, and two years later, having become proficient in all branches of the work, he formed a partnership with his brother Harrison, and fol­lowed the business for several years.
After marriage, the fol­lowing year they spent in Rebersburg, and in 1863 they removed to a farm adjoining Kreamer­ville on the north, and then belonging to Joseph Kreamer. Mr. Smull rented this, and remained there until 1864, when he went to a farm near Rockville, and while engaged in agriculture did some work at his trade. In the spring of 1888 he purchased the Joseph Kreamer estate, and re­turning to it and resided there, giving his attention to farming exclusively. The place was an attractive homestead, and under the able management of its owner was a profitable in­vestment.
Reuben Smull was a man of no pretensions, minding his own business. He upheld the principles of the Democratic party on national issues, but where local questions only were involved, he de­clined to surrender his judgment blindly, and voted as he thought the interests of the people de­manded. Official honors had no particular charm for him, but he served as tax collector in Miles township. In religion he was a Lutheran, and he and his wife were both members of the church.
