General Notes: Husband - Washington Perry Smith

---

Center Twp, Butler Co, PA

He was born in Harrison County, Indiana, and removed with his parents to Butler County, Pennsylvania, in 1830, where he grew to man­hood. He received a limited education, but was a student in boyhood, and thus became self-educated. He studied surveying under David Dougal, of Butler, and also learned the carpenter's trade, which business he followed from 1843 to 1850. In the latter year he entered the employ of the Brady's Bend Iron Company, as superintendent of the building department, filled that position for sixteen years, and was then appointed superintendent of furnaces and railroads, which he occupied until the company suspended, in 1873. He then returned to the home­stead in Centre township, Butler County, where he engaged in farming. He was an active worker in the Republican party since its organization, held the office of school director for sixteen years, and always manifested a laudable interest in the progress of the public schools.
