In 1809, Dec 11th, she was married to Wm Smith, fourth son of Robert and Grace Smith of Marathon, Cortland county, New York. Mr and Mrs Smith lived at Marathon thirty-five years, during which time eleven children were born to them, eight boys and three girls..."

Grandma Smith passed away Saturday evening, at the age of 100 years and 3 months, after an eventful life. (As a full account of her life and history was published in the News Dec. 19, no details are necessary now.)
The funeral services were held Tuesday morning, at the house where she had spent so long a time. A Large company had come together before the time appointed for the services. The young people of the community sang very sweetly the hymns which she herself had selected. Rev. R.M. Roderick conducted the services. Surely she has gone to her reward. Sixty-two years of service for the Master is something unusual. That is true of her! One of the hymns selected was, "Asleep in Jesus." R.M.R.
