ELIJAH SMITH, farmer, is a native of Owen County, Ind., was born February 23,
1829, and is the second son and third child of Daniel and Elizabeth (Crum) Smith.
He was brought up and grew to manhood on the home farm, after he had had some 
advantages from the schools of the time.  August 24, 1852, he married, in this town-
ship, Mary Corder, by which union they had a family of two children--Lafayette C.
and James H.  Mr. Smith came to this county in company with his parents, and here
he has made a home, which embraces eighty acres of well-improved and cultivated
land, the most of which has been gained by his own unaided exertions and exacting
frugality.  By political preference, he is a Democrat, and by cotemporary judgement
a good citizen.  Mr. and Mrs. Smith are members of the Christian Church.
