General Notes: Husband - Marion Valentine Smith

---

He grew up on the farm, and received his education in the local schools. At the time of his marriage, in the spring of 1883, he settled on the farm in Irwin Township where his family are still established, his father giving him 115 acres to which he added later, the property now having an area of 175 acres. There were no buildings on the land, so he erected the residence which was ever afterward his home, and thereafter devoted his energies to general farming. He also raised considerable truck, taking vegetables to the Franklin market once a week, and in fact made the most of all the resources of his property, which he cultivated very profitably. He was very public-spirited as a citizen, serving as school director and road supervisor, and took an active interest in all other local affairs, participating in the work of the Amity Presbyterian Church, which is but half a mile from the farm. His political support was given to the Republican Party. [CAB, 724]
