Our subject was united in marriage with Sarah E. Stroup October 13, 1870; she is a native of Madison County, where she was born November 26, 1850. He was twenty-one years of age when he engaged in farming and trading in stock for himself, a business he has followed through life. In 1869 he bought 171 acres of land, sold that tract and bought 145 acres where he resides. He acquired a good common school education, and is a member of the I.O.O.F. Lodge. He and wife are the parents of two children, of whom one survives — Samuel, born March 25, 1876. The name of the deceased was Luther, who was born August 4, 1872, and died May 23, 1881. Mr. and Mrs. Smith reside one-half mile from South Solon; she is a member of the Methodist Church.
