Houses and Barns

Two black and white photographs of the home of William Smith (b. March 10th, 1864, 'on the Gibson or Ladd place' and Mabel Granger (b. March 26th, 1874, Russell). The photographs appear to have been taken at different times as one includes a hammock on the porch and fencing that's not included in the other. William and Mabel married on December 30th, 1892 and began 'housekeeping' in this home. Pearl Smith (b. May 12th, 1897), William's niece, also possibly lived with them as she is mentioned by Rev. Moody in the record for this home. William's father, Miles (d. December 7th, 1899) was a brother of C.W. Smith. The Smith's purchased the home from his father who had acquired it from William Cole. The house was built in 1844 by Thomas Ring. As of 1905, the property consisted of 150 acres, and the Smith's kept seven cows, two horses, 44 hens, six pigs, and cut 40 tons of hay. Featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), page 68, plate VI, #3.
