Andrew H. Smith
Andrew H. Smith was born in Pennsylvania in the year 1822, came to Warren County, Ohio, in 1838, lived there a few years, then removed to Miami County, where in 1849 he married Alvira Scoby. They have by this marriage one child, William C., born 1853. They settled in Shelby County in 1867. Mr. Smith has been noted as a hunter. In his early life his trusty rifle was his companion in the mountains of Pennsylvania, where the bear and deer fell by its unerring aim. The wilds of western Ohio and Indiana have been his hunting grounds for many years. Mr. Smith still loves to take his old favorite rifle, and spend an idle hour in the woods, although nothing is to be found but the sportive squirrel.
