========================
A COMPENDIUM OF EDENBURG AND EDENBURG PEOPLE
BY Hettie A. Keatley, 1887 via Google Books
pg 113-114
Mr A. J. Smith and very amiable wife came from Rouseville in the spring of 1877, accompanied by Mr. J. J. Corlette of the same place. The Smith Bros., started the Novelty Iron Works on north Main Street, and Mr A. J. Smith had his residence on the same street, where it still remains. The iron works have been removed to the corner of Ohio and Railroad Streets, opposite the P. & W. depot. Messrs. Smith and Corlette have been and still are among our most reliable businessmen. Mr Smith is proverbial for his quiet unassuming manners, but are any in need, Mr and Mrs Smith are ever ready to assist in a quiet way. Mrs Smith has been bereft of both parents in the last four years. First a fond mother was taken. Oh! how hard to give up a loving mother--to lay her in the cold grave!
"Yet it is a spot where cares ne'er come,
Where nature her fond vigils e'er doth keep,
And pale lips there are still in slumber's dreams,
Closed to eyes that weep."
Soon an affectionate father was called. We feel a loneness after the loss of our parents, that no other sorrow can bring.
