MARK A. SMITH FAMILY

Mark Smith was born September 29th., 1861, and was the son of Francis Smith and Anne Monaghan. Besides Mark, who was a teacher and established the homestead in Maplewood where his son Russel lives, there were seven other children, two boys and five girls. John was the eldest, and the father of Rev. Lawrence and Rev. Russel Smith, Rev. Mathias who was Parish Priest in Kinkora for many years, Katie (Mrs. Joseph Creamer), Margaret and Mary who never married, Theresa (Mrs. Thomas Croken), Hannah (Mrs. Levi Malone). They are all deceased.

Mark S. was married in 1905 to Emily Trainor, daughter of Peter Trainor and Annie Haughey. Mark had purchased a small farm in Maple- wood, and although he was a teacher, he did some farming, and as the family of five boys and one girl grew, the acreage planted increased as did the livestock. The old homestead is still occupied and cared for by

Russel.

Mark’s children were Mary (Mrs. Walter Coady), R. Pius, John M., Stephen P., Russel and Lawrence who died in infancy.
