General Notes: Husband - Daniel B. Smith

---

During his boyhood and youth, he attended the local schools and continued to assist in the cultivation of the home farm until twenty-two years of age, when his father gave him $25, and he started out to make his own way in the world. Until his marriage, in 1868, he worked in the lumber woods and in sawmills, but in the following spring he went to Omaha, Nebraska, where he remained four weeks, while the next eight weeks were spent in cutting cordwood on the Missouri river, near Leavenworth, Kansas. Going to Michigan, he there worked by the day for a few months, and then proceeded to Ohio, continuing to travel until the following October, when he returned home. In Warsaw township, Jefferson County, he was employed in a sawmill for two years, after which he and his brother, Jonathan, contracted to cut and carry to market 300,000 cubic feet of lumber, which they accomplished in one winter. He continued to work in the woods until purchasing his own farm: a valuable tract of eighty-eight acres, which he transformed into one of the most desirable places of Winslow township. He first bought fifty-six acres from Charles Prescott for $25 per acre, but was able to pay only $200 down, and was to take two rafts of timber from the place each winter for three years, which would finish paying for it. In 1883 he purchased the adjoining thirty-two acres included in his farm. The Democratic party found in him an earnest supporter, but he never aspired to official distinction, preferring to give his entire time and attention to his business interests. Religiously he was a member of the Reformed Church.
