Hosea Smith, jr. (1792—1854.)—This brother was the son of Hosea and Abigail (Hersey) Smith, both natives of
Massachusetts. Our subject was born in Pembroke, Me., whither his parents had moved some time before, in May 1792. His educational advantages were few, but he could read and write quite well, and was used to all manual labor.

In 1811, he was married to Miss Mary Damon, and soon settled in Washington County, Me., on some new land he had purchased, where they labored hard to secure ftrf themselves a comfortable home. They were the parents of thirteen children, eleven of whom joined the Christian Church during their father's life time, and one (Elder E. P. Smith) has been a minister tor a number of years. In 1819, Mr. Smith and his wife were converted under the labors of Elders Newall and Nutt, were baptized by the latter, and at once became active and working members of the church. It was the great desire of Elder Nutt and others that Brother Smith shonld enter the ministry, and he was strongly urged to do this, but would not consent for some time, feeling his unfitness. In a few months he began his ministry as a licentiate but was not ordained till 1831. His principal fields of labor were at Charleston, Lubec, and Eastport, Me., the Province of New Brunswick, and he was especially successful at Deer Island, where he labored for twenty years. He died in Charlotte, Washington County, Me. March 7, 1854.

He was peculiarly mild in his manners and disposition, and his great influence was due not so much to eloquence and brilliancy as a speaker as to a pious, consistent life and the sympathy which he had for all in sorrow and trouble. His best gifts were shown in his pastoral relations.
