General Notes: Husband - Henry Smith


In 1818 the wife of Henry Smith was killed by a cow. Some time after he visited his half-brother, George Delo, who inquired after his circumstances. He replied that it was hard to get along without a mother in so large a family. Mr. Delo said: “You should get you a wife.” He replied: “I have no time to hunt one.” Mr. Delo told him he had a neighbor, a widow with a number of children, and “when you come again I will take you up and introduce you.” Several years passed. In February, 1820, Mrs. Delo died, and when Mr. Smith came again Mr. Delo had married the widow.
