She survives and res at North Had, in her 93d year. Mr. Smith was well educated and well fitted for business. In early life he commenced the study of medicine intending to fol- low the profession, but his health failing him he was compelled to seek some other business. He commenced manufacturing various kinds of iron and steel implements used by machinists and carpenters at West Wh, near the northwest school house. After this he owned the water power on the west brook where now is a grist-mill lately owned by Harvey Moore. He built the mill and for several years carried on the manufacturing of husks for mattresses, wood turning, etc. He was a successful business man. He was never a tough, robust man, but careful, a kind and indulgent husband and father, of strict morality and unswerving honesty and integrity. He was early elected to various offices as school committee, assessor, selectman and representative in 1855 and '56. In all of these positions he dis- charged the duties with credit to himself and the commendation of his townsmen. He retired from business in 1865, sold his lands, mills and house and rem to North Had. We present his portrait here. Eight ch:

While we do not choose to criticise his opinions on that topic, we are free to confess that he would have been a success as a inarried man, judging him to be of a genial, pleasant disposi- tion. He is a great lover of the horse, delights to drive a pair of good ones, and if we must say it, he likes to trade in horses ; in fact, he is a capital judge of a horse, being often employed to get a suitable one for farm work, for driving, or for some special purpose, and he seldom makes a mistake. Of more than average ability. He has a large and productive farm, he and his brother, Charles J., raising about twelve acres of tobacco aside from other products. He spares no expense to make the farm as productive as possible and is a good citizen. His mother survived his father thirty-eight years and was always tenderly cared for by Mr. Smith, ably seconded by Charles J. and his excellent wife, during her long continued feebleness.
