Smith, Amanda Maria (1852 - 1926)


Amanda Maria Barnes was born in 1838 and she died Jan. 8, 1926, at her home three and a half miles north of Withee, Wis.
On July 7, 1852, she was married to Edward Smith at Manitowoc, Wis., where they continued to live until 1879, when they came to Clark County, Wis.


Eight children were born to them, Harriet, William, Nancy, Una, Amy, Walter, Edward and Mildred, of whom only the first and the two last survive her. Her husband died in Withee nineteen years ago.


Of twenty-four grandchildren, nineteen are now living and there are also eleven great-grandchildren.


Her long life was one with charity toward all and malice toward none, and was a model of devotion and service to her family and friends.


Her mental faculties remained unimpaired to the end, as did her unwavering affections.
