HENRY B. SMITH, farmer, is a native of Owen County, Ind., was born February 11,
1827, his parents being Daniel and Elizabeth (Crum) Smith, natives of Virginia, who
emigrated to Kentucky, later to Indiana in 1825, and settled in Owen County in 1831,
whence they moved to this township, made a home on entered land, and there remained
until 1875, at which time they removed to Clayton, where Mr. Smith closed his life in 1879, aged about seventy-nine.  After this event, the mother returned to the homestead, now occupited by our subject, and ended her life in 1881, aged seventy-six years;  they had a family of ten children.  Henry B. Smith was reared on the homestead farm, and at 
seasons attended the subscription schools.  December 2, 1847, he married Jane Carder, 
a native of Kentucky, to which union have been given nine children--Vernilla A., Ruth
J., Sanders, Theodore R., Harvey M., Stephen, Henry K., Eva J. (deceased) and 
Martha R.  Mr. Smith is the owner of a good farm of 160 acres, and has a desirable 
home--most of which he has acquired by his own efforts.  He is a Democrat, and he
and wife are members of  the Christian Church.
