Notes

Robert Alexander Smith married Matilda Hogg in the Harmony Church, near Hanna City, Illinois. Matilda was born in London, the daughter of John W. and Sarah B. Cowan Hogg. The gravestone in Claytonville gives her birth date as 1828. She came to America in 1836. They went to live in a log cabin with an open fireplace. In this home the four older children were born and the other four were born in a newer home. Robert was a farmer and after some years, followed other members of the family to Kansas, about 1855, and bought a farm. A clipping from the local paper at the time of his death states: "After 74 years of unclouded life, Robert Smith, for 31 years a citizen of Brown County, succumbed to the grim messenger, from the throne of judgement and eternal life and his days are numbered in the sealed book of never ending time. Henry for five weeks scarcely left his side. He, as well as his grieved mother, have the sympathy of one and all. Although he has been failing for some time, lagrippe was the immediate cause of his death." Both Robert and Matilda are buried in Claytonville Cemetery. -- Roy M. Smth. A Family History.
