General Notes: Husband - William M. Smith

---

He became a farmer and lived in his native county until 1846. In the latter year he came to Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased a farm of one hundred and thirty acres near Concord Church. He was an extensive raiser of fine live stock, specializing in blooded draft horses. He also raised a great many mules, finding a ready market for them at the iron furnaces. He prospered and in addition to his farm and live stock owned interests in oil properties. About 1887 he sold out his Clarion County property and moved to Trumbull County, Ohio, and there purchased a farm. He continued in Ohio until 1892 and spent the last two years of his life with his son, S. K. R. Smith. He was a Whig, later a Republican, and an ardent supporter of the cause of temperance, having been the first man in Butler County to sign the pledge of prohibition. He joined the Methodist Episcopal church when ten years of age at North Washington, became a class leader and a pillar of strength to his church.
