FENNIMORE (WI) TIMES, September 1, 1897
The continued illness of Mr. C.D. Smith has brought his sons to this city. They are almost without exception great, husky two-hundred pounders, and as affable and agreeable as they are big. Most of them live out west and have made a mark in life. They are Alva of Tacoma, Neb., in the employ of the Armour Packing Co.; Charles, engaged in the farm implement business at Wahoo, Neb.; D. F., deputy U.S. Marshal at Kingfisher, Oklahoma,; O. G. of Kearney, Neb., engaged in the ice business; and S. S., manager of the Euraka Fire Engine Co., Chicago. Last Saturday, together with their brother W. F., and sister Mrs. J. M. Gelvin, of this city, they sat for a photograph at Govier's.
