In June, 1885, Judge Bottum was married to Miss Sylvia Smith, who was born in Jefferson county, Missouri, a daughter of Darius Sherman and Adelia Marilla(Williams) Smith, natives of North Carolina and Missouri respectively. The father was also at one time a legislator of South Dakota, serving in the state senate through the term beginning in 1895. He was also county commissioner of Faulk county for one term and was prominently identified with public affairs for many years. He came to the state in 1882 and was actively engaged in farming for an extended period, passing away in 1914. His widow, however, still resides in Faulkton. Judge and Mrs. Bottum have become the parents of seven children: Helen M., a teacher in the schools of Faulkton; Fannie C.,the wife of William P. Givens, who is engaged in the automobile business at Goldfield, Iowa, and by whom she has one child, Sylvia Helen; Dora H., who is teaching in Minnesota; Emily, a teacher in the schools of Faulk county; Julia, a teacher of music in the School for Feeble Minded at Redfield; and Roswell and Joseph, both attending school. The family is prominently and favorably known in Faulk county and that section of the state, the hospitality of the best homes being freely accorded them.
