A Visit with A. S. Smith, 1892 MS

This newspaper article gives us a glimpse into the life of Adolphus Smith, my 3rd great uncle.  

 

Adolphus Scott Smith

22 Jun 1848 - 18 Oct 1921

Son of Wyatt Smith & Euseba Fortenberry

Husband of Julia Jane Simmons

 

 

While attending the Bogue Chitto Association at Silver Springs we shared the hospitality of Dr. A. S. Smith, one of the foremost men in the county. He has a fine farm of 500 acres and has a nice store at Smithsburg. His accomplished daughter, Miss Lynnie, has decorated his beautiful home with the rarest of pictures drawn and painted by herself, and his good wife presides over the household like a queen. His father, Mr. Wyatt Smith, lives with him. This good man was 82 years old in August, and having been born and reared in that neighborhood, his mind is richly stored with reminiscences of bygone days and it is a pleasure to converse with him.
