Dr. A. D. SMITH, Morris. Dr. SMITH was born in Jefferson County, near 
Watertown, N. Y., August 2, 1847; son of Eleazur SMITH, a native of Vermont, 
born at Rutland September 21, 1807, and was a farmer by occupation. He left 
Vermont when a young man, and went to New York, where he ran a farm and dairy 
till 1854, at which time he came to Illinois, selling his property in New 
York, and purchasing a farm, in 1855, in Saratoga Township, this county, where 
he still makes his home. His wife, Maria (DARBY) SMITH, was born in 
Huntington, Vt., August 24, 1815. The parents raised ten children; eight sons, 
of whom our subject is sixth, and two daughters. Dr. SMITH was educated in 
this county, principally, and took a medical course at the university of New 
York City, from which institution he graduated in 1870. He began life as a 
telegraph operator, which he followed some three years prior to taking his 
medical course. Immediately after graduating, our subject began the practice 
of his profession, in his native county, with an uncle; he remained there but 
a short time. In the fall of 1870, he came to Morris, where he now enjoys a 
very lucrative practice. He owns some town lots in Mitchell, this county; he 
is a Mason and a Republican.
