| | Lawrence County, Ohio Genealogy and History |
 | | Smith, through mistaken kindness or friendship, by becoming bondsman, lost all his property at two separate periods of his life, yet, by the force of a strong will and unflinching perseverance, assisted by conjugal energy, he rallied, regained the lost ground, and at the end of life left a handsome property to his children. |
 | | Smith, as we remember him, was rather striking in his personal appearance, with a presence well calculated to arrest the attention of the most casual observer, stalwart in form, with marked features, and an expression pleasant, yet showing a decided character. |
 | | Such, in brief, is the perfectly written sketch of Jeremiah Smith, Esq., and his descendants, whose lives, independent thought and energy have had a marked influence on the policy and fortunes of the pleasant and prosperous township of the children’s nativity and their father’s adoption. |
