General Notes: Husband - Anthony Wayne Smith

---

He attended the local schools of his native township, and worked upon his father's farm until nineteen years of age. He then drove an oil team for his father in Clarion county for about two years. Following this he was in a butchering busi­ness for about six years, at Petersburg, Clar­ion County, PA. For the next few years he was employed in various ways, until he began farming for himself in Westmoreland county. After four years there he went to Wilkinsburg, where he engaged in the butchering business for four years more. Returning to Westmoreland county, he farmed for six years. In 1893 he bought the old Hiram Hill homestead, owned by his father-in-law, lo­cated on the Kittanning road, in Gilpin town­ship, Armstrong county, comprising 135 acres of valuable land. He sold a portion of it, keeping 128 acres. On this property he specialized in raising fine fruit, including apples and pears, his orchards being among the best in that part of the State. There were two natural gas wells on the farm, owned by the Gilpin Gas Company. He had some of the finest stock of horses in the sec­tion.
