"Joseph Smith, Farmer . . . . Only ten years before the state (Illinois) had been admitted to the Union and this portion of Illinois was largely wild and unimproved, awaiting the awakening touch of the white race to transform it into one of the richest agricultural, industrial and commercial sections of this great commonwealth. Joseph Smith took up his abode in Georgetown township, turned his attention to agricultural pursuits and improved a good farm, upon which he made his home until called to his final rest at the age of seventy-three years. His wife has also passed away.
.
They were the parents of thirteen children, of whom five are now living: Eliza, the widow of William Gantz and a resident of Georgetown township; Abram B., of this review; Amanda, the wife of Andrew Runnels(sic), of Georgetown township; Michael E., who is engaged in selling farm implements in Brockstown, Illinois; and Catherine, the wife of Adam Kyger, of Missouri. The others were all reared here and most of them died in Vermilion county." (Source: "The History of Vermilion County, Illinois, The Biographical Record", by Beckwith)
