Corners, June 21st, 1892, Wm. SMITH.

Mr. SMITH was born at Saratoga, New York, in October, 1818, being in his

Richford, Waushara Co., WI, in 1864. In 1871, he settled in the Town of
Richfield, Adams County, where he resided at the time of his death.

Mr. SMITH was one of our best citizens, and as a neighbor highly respected.
Two sons, John SMITH of Richfield, residing on the old homestead; Frank
SMITH, residing at Coloma Station; two daughters, Mrs. Electa J. MANZER; of
Oshkosh, Wis.; Mrs. Addie HARTLEY, of Rio; and his wife survive him.

His funeral was held at the Congregational church, Coloma, and was largely
