When a small child his parents moved to Galesburg, Illinois, where his early life was spent. Upon reaching his manhood days he felt that he would like to see something of the west therefore he came to Bedford, Iowa, where he spent a few years and returned to Illinois for a brief time when he, in company with his two brothers, went to Kansas, later to Colorado then overland back to Illinois where he remained until 1887 when in company with his brother-in-law he went to South Dakota where he took up a homestead and lived there until 1880 when he sold out and went to Austin, Minn., where he was married March 14, 1900 to Miss Roxa Parcher of Nodaway, Iowa. They made their home in Minnesota for two years then moved to Nodaway, Iowa where he lived until he passed away. Two children came to brighten their home Mrs. Elsie McCreedy and Mearl Edwin, who with the devoted wife, survive to mourn their great loss. He was ever a loving and kind husband and father, a great lover of his home and family and especially was proud of his children. Besides his wife and children and brother, J. A. Smith of Oneida, Illinois, two half sisters, Mrs. Helen Hart of Austin, Minnesota, and Mrs. Ada Holley of Galesburg, Illinois and two half brothers, Charles E. Boostrom of St. Paul, Minnesota and Ben Boostrom of Viola, Illinois, also several nieces and nephews and a large circle of friends who are mourning today for his sudden departure. About fifteen years ago he became affiliated with the Presbyterian Church of Nodaway of which he remained a member to the time of his death. Funeral services were held at the M. E. Church at Nodaway on Tuesday afternoon and interment was made in the Nodaway Cemetery. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved family.
