and it's honors. In 1865 he associated
himself with his brother, j. s. Smith,
in the mercantile business, the copart-
nership continuing till March 10, 1870.
In July, 1867 he was united in marie
age with Mary Adelaide, daughter of
George Robinson, Esq, who survives
him. In 1870 he removed to Warsaw,
