His extensive general practice and his many civic and business interests during the past twenty years have made William Harvey Smith one of the best known attorneys and men of affairs in Noble County. He was born in that county, and for many years before taking up the profession of law was engaged in teaching. He was born on a farm October 14, 1867, son of Henry and Mary J. (Spence) Smith, his parents also natives of Noble County. His father at the age of sixteen enlisted as a Union soldier in the One Hundred and Eighty-fifth Ohio Infantry, and saw service during the last year of the war. Afterwards he took up farming, but since 1909 has been a guard in the Ohio State Penitentiary at Columbus. With a boyhood spent on a farm in Noble County, William Harvey Smith made the best of his advantages in public schools, and, obtaining a teacher's certificate, he started work in one of the rural school districts, and for many years was well known in the educational circles of Washington and Noble counties. In the meantime he was advancing his own education and in 1902 graduated with the Bachelor of Science degree from the National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio. While teaching he also took up the study of law, reading under Hon. Martin D. Follett, of Marietta. Mr. Smith was admitted to the bar in 1900, but continued teaching until 1904, when he located at Caldwell and for ten years was associated in practice with Judge C. O. Dye. For the past ten years he had conducted his practice alone, and has come to rank with the leaders of the local bar. He was elected county attorney in 1905 and again in 1910, winning the election on the democratic ticket in a county largely republican. He has served as chairman of the County Central and Executive committees of the democratic party. He is a director of and attorney for the Caldwell Building and Loan Association. Since youth Mr. Smith has been a devoted nature lover, and this interest in outdoors has brought him two hobbies, chicken raising and the love of fine horses. He has a flock of chickens that represent some of the finest breeding in this part of Ohio. He is superintendent of the racing department in the Noble County Fair Association. During the World war he participated in all the drives. Mr. Smith is past chancellor, and is affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. On October 27, 1891, he married Miss Effie C. Archer, a native of Noble County. Her father, Bell Archer , was born in Stock Township of Noble County in 1845, and for fifty-one years was a teacher in the schools of the county. Her mother was Clara Thompson Archer, who died February, 1924. The three children of Mr. and Mrs. Smith are: Marjorie, wife of Dr. L. B. Walters, a dentist at Caldwell, and she is the mother of a daughter, Mary Elane, Harold A. and Helen. ----------------------------- X-Message: #3 Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 22:16:41, -0500 From: AUPQ38A@prodigy.com (MRS GINA M REASONER) Subject: COL. JAMES SMITH - History of Ohio HISTORY OF OHIO - The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume II - page 398 (under: ADMINISTRATION OF RETURN JONATHAN MEIGS, Ninth Legislative Session, December 3, 1810 to January 30, 1811 which starts on page 394 the following appears on page 398: The agitation against the Shakers had been violent, and the demand of the people for the passage of this law was insistent. The newspapers of the preceding summer and autumn had given much space to the subject. The Supporter of July 1st contained a three-column expose of the methods of the sect, written by Col. James Smith, of Kentucky, an old man who had fought in Braddock's campaign and in the Revolution. He was the father of one of those who had deserted his wife, taken her children from her, and joined the Shakers in their settlement at Turkey Creek. He states that they had gained more than 2,000 proselytes, that under the guise of holiness they exercised the utmost cruelties, and that they were a great menace to the family relationship. He gave a pitiful account of the condition of his son's wife, from whom her children had been abducted. "I believe," Colonel Smith said, "that if all the despots on earth and all the infernal spirits were united to invent a plan to destroy Christianity and enslave mankind, Shakerism could not have been exceeded. Satan is transformed into an angel of light, and his ministers into ministers of righteousness. Holiness is their theme whilst they bind fetters on poor deluded souls, disturb the peach of families: violate marriage, which is an institution of God. * * * But admitting there is no general danger as to our Government - shall not the innocent be protected? Shall the children be torn from the mother's breast and subjected to servile bondage, and shall she be left without redress?" There was much other public agitation, and finally a mob attempted to rescue some children, including Colonel Smith's grandchildren. A report of this was published in The Western Spy of September 8th following: "We are informed that on Monday last several companies of militia from the counties of Warren and Butler, accompanied by a large number of citizens, amounting in all to about one thousand, assembled at the Shaker settlement on Turkey Creek, in the county of Warren, for the purpose of compelling the Shakers to deliver up three grand children of Col. James Smith, of Kentucky, and some other young persons who were said to be detained by them against their inclination. Committees were appointed on both sides to confer on the matters in dispute. The conference being held, it was reported by the Shakers that the children were in Lebanon jail with their father (which, however, was not the case) - and finding none who wished to be liberated the multitude dispersed after informing them that if their pestiferous society was not broken up by the first of November next they might expect to be visited again. ------------------------------ X-Message: #4 Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1999 22:52:22 -0600 From: "Mike and Christi Brogan" Subject: Obit: Leland Jacob Calvert (August 08, 1912) Obituary for Leland Jacob Calvert, week of 8/8/1912 "Leland Jacob Calvert, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Calvert, of Williamsport, died Thursday, August 8, of inflammation of the bowels, after an illness of three weeks.

SETH NOBLE History of Franklin and Pickaway Counties, Ohio Pub by Williams Bros, 1880 REV. SETH NOBLE was born in Westfield, Massachusetts, about the year 1731. After completing his theological studies, he settled at Maugerville, Nova Scotia, and became the pastor of the Presbyterian or Congregational church at that place. At the breaking out of the Revolutionary war, his outspoken sympathy with the revolted colonies brought down upon him the denunciation of the authorities, and along with many others, he was obliged to flee the country. He joined the party of Colonel Eddy, who in 1776, settled a town in Maine (then a part of massachusetts), to which they first gave the name of Muskegeag (or Saduskeag) Meadow. Here Mr. Noble was joined by his wife and children, whom he had been obliged to leave behind him, so precipitate was his flight. He organized the first Presbyterian church in the new town, and continued its pastor for many years. It was largely through his influence that, in 1791, a decree was obtained from the general court of Boston, incorporating the aforesaid town under the name of bangor, that name being selected on account of Mr. Noble's partiality for the old Scotch Psalm tune known by the same name. In 1805, led by the generous offer, made by congress, of a donation of land to the Nova Scotia refugees, he came to Franklinton, having located three hundred and twenty acres of land in the Refugee tract across the river, near by. On this land, he built a cabin in which a married daughter was his housekeeper, his wife having died a number of years before. Immediately after his arrival in this county, he commenced preaching, first if Franklinton, and afterward in two or three other places, which he visited at stated intervals until his death, which occurred in September, 1807, only eight or nine days after he had preached his last sermon, on the text, "Come unto me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." He was buried in the Franklinton burying ground but as no headstone was erected, and as the family was for many years absent from this part of the country, all trace of his grave is lost. The daughter, mentioned above, was the mother of the Hon. W.M. Beach of London, Madison county, to whom we are indebted for the facts here stated. These, and other facts are also given in the "Genealogy of the Noble Family," in the Ohio State Library. Mr. Beach was a member of the Ohio Legislature (first in the house and then in the Senate) from 1869 to 1874. We strongly incline to the opinion that the name of Rev. Seth Noble ought to have been mentioned along with that of the Rev. Dr. Hoge, as one of the pioneer preachers and founders of Presbyterianism in Franklin County; but as none of the early chroniclers thus associate these venerable names, we have not felt authorized to mention that of Mr. Noble in the History of the Presbyterian church of Columbus; but the brief sketch which we have given here, we regard as a simple act of justice. -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V99 Issue #57 ******************************************
