Mrs. Magdalena Smith, whose wide circle of acquaintances and friends testifies to her goodness and popularity, is a woman of kindly impulses and generous disposition. She is a native of Germany, where she lived until 1874, when she came to the United States, and soon afterward located in Marietta, Washington County, Ohio.
While still living in that city she became acquainted with Lewis W. Smith, whom she married some time later. He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1849, and during his life was all that a good husband should be. For a considerable time he was the owner and manager of a planing mill in Marietta, which he sold to James Foreman and James Hall, and purchased the farm on which Mrs. Smith now lives. In 1892, they settled on this farm, and here they reared three children; namely, Walter G., Charles F. and May M.
Mr. Smith departed to his final rest on April 23, 1901, and was mourned by the citizens of Warren township, as a good, useful citizen is always mourned. His portrait accompanies this sketch. On the farm of mrs. Smith are now several producing oil wells. It is located about four miles out on the river road from Marietta, and is well cared for under the direction of Mrs. Smith, whose judgment and good common sense can always be counted upon."
