The pall bearers were, C. D. Greenwood, W. H. Cramer, Gilbert Cheney, H. C. Hicks, John Carson, and Charles Vestal. On April 27, 1852 near Geneva, New York, was born Rollin O. Smith, youngest brother of Rev. Howell Smith and Fannie DeGoilia Smith. Four years later, driven by the desire to live in a newer land, the family emigrated to Green County, Wisconsin, which became the one for the following 14 years. During this period, Rollin Smith attended the often overcrowded rural school near his home, witnessed and took part in plays and pranks of boyhood. Two years after the death of the father, the family moved westward to Jasper County, Iowa. Here on May 7, 1874, Mr. Smith was united in marriage to Phiela Smith. Three years after their marriage the couple with their baby daughter, moved further west to a farm near David City, where the two made their home. The young mother, like many mothers died in her early thirties in the spring of 1887. On April 2, 1890, Mr. Smith was married to Artie E. Butler, who survives him, was born a daughter. Mr. Smith in the dark periods between the happy times worked as a carpenter for his neighbors. He moved to Nebraska, but the uncertainties of Nebraska weather made advisable a return to Iowa and in 1894 the Smiths came to the farm west of Emerson, where they lived until 1925. Then Mr. Smith retired from active farming and the family moved into house in Emerson, which has ever since been their home. In Emerson, Mr. Smith worked in the implement and windmill business and later at the carpenter trade. Later, when health did not permit this work, he busied himself at wood working, gardening, and travel. Many valued pieces of his handiwork in walnut and oak now grace the homes of his children. An ardent automobilist for 20 years, he was one of the best of drivers. But above all he was a farmer, still interested in farm work, in farm stock, in farm organization, and in farm life. To his relatives and friends he leaves a paternities of honesty, industry, frugality, and fidelity. He is survived by his widow, and his four children, Mrs. Della Wilson of Irvin, W. A. and A. F. Smith and Mrs. E. A. Bass of Emerson, 11 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren. Malvern Leader, Malvern, Iowa, Thursday, September 12, 1935, page 1 & 7
