To them were born three children one daughter and two sons. The youngest son died when he was a little past eight years of age. In the spring of 1871 Brother Smith moved from Summit county, Ohio, to Jennings county, Indiana. Settling on a farm near Vernon where he had his home for more than twenty-five years. In November of 1878 he became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Vernon. This church he served faithfully all his christian life as Class leader, Trustee, Sunday School teacher and Superintendent. He was deeply interested in all the departments and services of the church and never missed a preaching service or a session of the School unless providentially hindered. As student, teacher or Superintendent he was always in his place. In later years he took active interest in the Epworth League, being regular in attending its meetings, speaking and prayin for the "highest New Testament Standard of experience and life." September 17th, 1891, his beloved wife passed out of this life into the glorious life beyond, and six months later his only daughter went home to heaven. Thus bereft, his home was broken up. Although Brother Smith lived in a present experience, its joys, privilege, and duties never caused him to lose sight of the prize that lies at the end of the race. The christian life was to him, in no sense a life of mere duty, but a delightful service, a life "hid with Christ in God; a life abiding in Christ, abiding under the shadow of the Almighty." Brother Smith loved Christ with all his heart, served him with all his strength, was a loyal earnest helper to all his pastors, a true clean Christian man. He departed this life in the full triumph of the Christian faith, May 26th 1907 at the home of his son in North Vernon.
