Smith Farm
Lucy Smith

Acquiring approximately 100 acres in 1882, Abraham C. and Elizabeth McKenzie Smith established the Smith family farm six miles west of Etowah. The parents of ten children, the Smiths were prosperous farmers of hay, corn, wheat, horses, dairy products, vegetables and sugar cane. When they deeded the property to their son Winslow Smith, it contained approximately 233 acres of land.

Winslow purchased the homeplace of his wife Gertie Wilson and continued planting the same crops as his parents. In 1955, Winslow and Gertie's son John Wilson Smith began dairy operations at the farm with 30 head of cattle. Eight years later, John and his wife Lucy Henley formally acquired the family's 233 acres. Their dairy remained in operation until 1971 and the family tilled crops of hay, corn and wheat until the early 1980s. Currently the Smiths rent much of their land to Willie Hammonds.
