On his way out to the pump to get a bucket of water he fell to the ground. His son and wife immediately went to his aid and found him apparently lifeless .... He was born in Gallia county, Ohio, February 14, 1832, and was at his death, 69 years, 2 months and 10 days old. His early life was on the rivers of the middle west where he obtained the position of first mate of a steamboat. In 1864 he came to Jackson county, Kans., and with the exception of a year in Holton and two years in Netawaka, he had lived continuously on his farm. He served as a marine during the Civil war.

When one month old his mother died, and he was placed with an aunt, with whom he lived until fifteen years of age. When he was about 8 years old his father moved to Chicago, where he lived until his death in 1879. The father and son only met once afterward, many years ago, before the latter came to Kansas. The former became possessed of an immense fortune, which on his death he willed to charitable institutions, probably not knowing that his son was still alive. At the age of fifteen Mr. Smith went to work on a steamboat on the Ohio river. From the place of a deck hand he worked his way up until he became the first mate of a vessel. During the war of the rebellion he was in the marine service on a gun boat in the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. On December 8, 1852, he was married at Pittsburg, Pa., to Miss Eliza Hill, of Westmoreland county, Pa. In 1864 he came to Kansas and invested his savings in land, purchasing a tract in Liberty township, near where the Netawaka road crosses Straight Creek. This he improved and resided upon until 1881, when he sold it to A. D. Walker. For nearly one year he lived in Holton, about two years in Netawaka, and then purchased land in the immediate vicinity of his old home place, on which he has since resided.... Francis M.
