Portrait and Biographical Album of
Huron County, Michigan
Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [288]

           SIDNEY A. SMITH,  farmer, section 24, Fairhaven Township, was
        born Feb. 18, 1843, in Orion Township, Oakland Co., Mich.  His
        parents were natives of England, and about May, 1836, emigrated to
        the United States. They had eight children, of whom MR. SMITH is
        fourth in order of birth. He was carefully trained in the old-
        country thrift and economy, and at the age of 17 years he secured
        80 acres of land in Huron County by purchase. In 1861 he made his
        first location on 160 acres, and in 1862, associated with his
        brother, he secured a further claim of 160 acres. He is present
        proprietor of 280 acres, and has cleared about 40 acres.
           His parents died in Oakland County, the father June 12, 1865,
        the latter May 12, 1883.  MR. SMITH managed the home farm in
        Oakland County about six years, the place including 80 acres. In
        1869 he came to Huron County, where he has since resided. In
        political faith he is a Democrat, and has held the position of
        Treasurer, Supervisor and Clerk, and other minor offices of his
        township. He is an active member of the Baptist Church.
