Dr. Andrew Smith, the oldest man in this part of the valley, died on the 19th inst., aged 82 years and 18 days. In his youth and early manhood he worked at the tailoring trade with his father, traveling from house to house in Trough Creek and Woodcock valleys and in the Broad Top region. He was married to Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel Pheasant, and to this union were born seven children, viz: Sarah, wife of C. W. Steel; Rachael, dec'd., wife of J. C. Estep; S. T.; W. B. Susan Jane, wife of Jacob David; Mary Anne, dec'd, wife of James Bowser; C. Wesley, and Salina, wife of P. W. Magsam. The doctor was a man far above the average in point of intelligence, also of strong convictions, the latter of which had much to do with his study of medicine, which he practiced considerably the greater part of his life. He was of the Thomsonian school, this from honest consideration and conviction he firmly believed that we have the medicine right around us for the relief and benefit of human diseases. He once said to the writer that in his mind it would be no more natural for a fish to live out of water than to go into the bowels of the earth for medicine to cure the ills of the human family. An intimate acquaintance of over forty years warrants me in saying that he was a conscientious christian gentleman with whom it was a pleasure to converse as he was especially well informed on the leading topics of the day. He had been a member of the church for 58 years. At eleven o'clock on last Friday his remains were taken into the Harmony chapel, Methodist Protestant church, where he had worshiped for over forty years. An appropriate discourse was delivered by Rev. Rutan from Hebrews 4.9, 10, after which his body was laid to rest by the side of his wife in the Locust Grove cemetery. He is survived by one brother Jesse, of East Broad Top, who is his senior by about two years
