Descendants of Joseph Smith and Eliza Sarah Phillips

4. Alfred Earl³ Smith (Joseph², Robert¹) was born 21 May 1836 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England, and died 19 Dec 1907 in McMinnville, Yamhill Co., Oregon. He married Sarah Denton Miller 11 Feb 1863 in Caledonia, Racine Co., Wisconsin, daughter of William Miller and Roxanna Blakeslee. She was born 29 Oct 1838 in Windham, Greene Co., New York, and died 01 May 1918 in McMinnville, Yamhill Co., Oregon.

Notes for Alfred Earl Smith:
Though recollection cannot carry him back, oft repeated tales have made very clear the long, long trip, comprising more than one third the distance around the globe, which Alfred Smith had made before he reached the location where he now makes his home. Born in the city of Birmingham, Warwick shire, England, May 21, 1836, he crossed the ocean at the age of four years, his father also a native of this shire, emigrating to the United States in the hope of bettering himself in regard to his worldly affairs, a hope that met with fulfillment in the latter years of his life. On their arrival in New York they went at once to Racine county, Wis., locating on a farm, though previous to this time he had been engaged in the prosecution of his trade, which was that of a hatter. He took up one hundred and sixty acres of government land and continued in this location for twenty years, after which he moved to Juneau county, of the same state, amply able to afford the life of retirement to which his inclinations led him. He lived to be eighty-four years old, becoming an American citizen in the same sense of the word that he was once an English, taking an active interest in the events of the day and lending himself to all movements that contributed to the general welfare. He was in entire sympathy with the emancipation movement, being a strong Republican in his political convictions. In his religious views he found his church home with the Congregational denomination. He reared a large family and lived to see them all well settled in life: Samuel W., of Mauston, Wis.; Joseph, a farmer of the same place; Alfred, the subject of this sketch; Philip, who gave his life in active service in the Twenty-second Wisconsin, Company H, during the Civil war; Eliza Fluno, of juneau county, whose husband is a miller; and Mary Palmerton [actually Palmiter], who is now a widow engaged in the millinery business in Chicago, Ill.

After the days of his youth were passed- days spent, during the summer time upon the farm, in the winter in the primitive school of Racine county- Alfred left home engaging in work for himself, turning naturally to the cultivation of the soil. Until 1864 he worked among the farmers of the neighborhood, going in the last-named year to join an emigrant train bound for the west. After six months of tedious journeying the party arrived safely in Boise City, Idaho, having been singularly fortunate in escaping the depradations of the Indians while on the trip. For twelve months after his arrival in Idaho, Mr. Smith worked in the mines, going in the fall of 1865 to a farm near Portland, Ore., which he worked for one year. He then bought a farm in Multnomah county, situated on the Columbia river, making this his home for the next four years, his next venture being in Yamhill county, where he invested in nine hundred and ninety-six acres of land located in Moore's valley, about four hundred of which are in active cultivation. For the same number of years that his father had spent on the place that gave him his competency -twenty years- he remained here, engaged in general farming and stock-raising, in 1900 retiring from active life, giving over the duties to his sons.

Mr. Smith was married in 1863 to Miss Sarah Miller, a native of New York, and the children born to them are as follows: Mary E., at home; Charles L., of The Dalles; William B., of Carlton; Samuel P., a veterinary surgeon of North Dakota; Alfred, on the home farm; Arthur C., of McMinnville; and Emma Alexander, of Moore's valley. In his political convictions Mr. Smith follows the example of his father, upholding the principles of the Republican party, and serving in the same as road supervisor and various school offices.
