"West Bend Pilot" Dec 25, 1895

Alfred H. Smith, who passed away in death at his home five miles southwest
of this city last Thursday, was born in the city of New York on May 9, 1822.
In early life he made engineering his business and as such came to Milwaukee
in 1847 where he remained for a year and then removed to Two Rivers, Manitowoc
County, where he continued working at his trade for two years.  At that time
his wife died of cholera which raged in that region.  He then came to
Washington County and bought the farm on which he has lived ever since.  His
last marriage took place on July 10, 1873, to Miss Lucretia Hudson, who now
mourns his loss.  In his early life he united with the Methodist Episcopal
Church of which he remained an earnest, active and efficient member to the
last.  He was a true husband, a kind father, and a worthy esteemed citizen.
The funeral services were held at his late residence on Saturday, conducted
by Rev. J.B. Cole, and his remains were laid to rest by the side of a former
companion in Cedar Creek cemetery.
