J. H. SMITH, son of Ephraim and Amanda Smith, was born at Williamsburg, Ohio,
August 5, 1834. When twenty years old he went to Illinois, where he lived until
1859, when he made the journey to California. At Light's canon he mined for five
years, then returned east, and was married November 19, 1863, to Miss Martha A.
Peter of Illinois. Mr. Smith came back in 1865, and bought a ranch in the north
arm of Indian valley, on which he lived ten years. In 1875 he sold it to Mr.
McCutcheon, and removed to San Benito county, where he purchased another farm.
In 1879 he bought the Ashim ranch in Plumas county, and in the year following
brought his family and settled on it. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Smith are
