General Notes: Husband - Oliver P. Smith


After such opportunities of education as the subscription schools of the day afforded, he bore his share, though at a very early age in the labor of the fields. Continuing thus a willing aid to his father until his thirtieth year, he then, with his brother James B., took the farm on shares. Eventually a part came to him by inheritance, and the remainder being purchased, he continued to cultivate the land until 1864, when, having decided to abandon active labor, the farm was rented.
He served as county commissioner and held various township offices. He served on many occasions in the capacity of guardian. Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith were members of the East Kishacoquillas Presbyterian Church, of which he former was a trustee.
