Smith, 82, who lives on her farm west of town, r. turned re cently from a four months visit with her son in Los Angeles and with friends and relatives In Southern Caifornia. Mrs. Smith was horn In Zanesvlle Ohio, March 4, 1855. She was marri ed in Ames, Iowa and moved with her husband to Hood River, Oregon In 1909. There they purchased a small farm which was one of th- show places of the country. In 1910 they sold their home in Hood River and came to Central Point, where they purchased their present home. 1 Mr. Smith died several years ago; and Mrs. Smith is now making her home with her son and family on the old home place one-half mil" west of Central Point.
