          GREENLEAF SMITH-The subject of this notice, son of Theophilus and Sarah
     Smith, was born in Cornish, August 1799;always lived on the homestead; was
     married October 21, 1824; and died after an illness of three years, February 27,
     1867, aged 67 years, 6 months.
          He was a man of great industry, energy and perseverance; of unblemished
     character for morality, integrity and truthfulness' one of the kindest and most
     affectionate men in his family and neighborhood; very social, hospitable and
     fond of company; and best of all a good Christian, a worthy member of the
     Church of Christ.
         He had a great musical talent; was sent for from a distant community to drum
     at a military parade, when but a lad of nine years,-the messenger inquiring for
     "Mr. Smith the Drummer:" and for many years until his last sickness, with his
     rich, bass voice he led the choir in the Sanctuary, he led to the satisfaction of all.
         Leaving a widow and four sons, two sisters and many friends to mourn their
     loss, not his, he was gone, we believe to join forever in the harmonies of heaven.
