Read More	Hannah was born in Illinois, the daughter of Hiram and Naomi (Dillon) Smith, early settlers in Cass County, Iowa. Naomi was from a Quaker family, but married outside the religion. After the death of Hannah's relative, Elizabeth Scott Mewhirter, her husband remarried to Hannah Smith. Frederick and Hannah had four sons: Henry Jesse, James Hiram, William Edward and Frederick Newton. They also raised a granddaughter. Emma was the daughter of Frederick's son Fremont and his first wife, Elizabeth, who died leaving a six month old. During the birth of her last child, a daughter, Hannah was injured at the hands of the attending doctor. This event preyed so upon the mind of her husband that they first sued the doctor, and then he took matters into his own hands and killed the doctor. Frederick was convicted of murder, and sent to prison for the rest of his life. Hannah continued to raise her family, and shared her home with Frederick's er, Mary Ann (Reed) Mewhirter. When Frederick became ill in prison, Hannah made the choice to divorce him in order to save the farm. Hannah died in her home on the day before or after her granddaughter Lois Mewhirter DeKay was born. Hannah was buried in Smith Cemetery, north of Griswold, in Cass County.
