Benjamin Harrison Smith was born the second of three children born to Isaac Americus and Alice Mary (Boyle) Moore.
His mother died in 1902 in Perry. He and his siblings were temporarily adapted to two families in the area. He, alone, was with the George and Della Smith Family. When Isaac went to retrieve his children for moving north into Kansas, the Smiths took their adapted child and fled to California.
Ben left California in his mid teens and worked on the oil pipeline in Oklahoma, where he met and married Margurite Eva Smith, in 1933.
They had four children there: Harold Gene, and three others still living.
He moved his family to Hutchinson, Kansas, in 1944. He worked at a grocery and dairy while there.
After their son, Harold Gene died in 1966, they moved back to Hominy, Oklahoma.
He worked as a butcher there, after he retired.
His children moved him back to Kansas in the late 1980's to live near them.
