Notes:

"Mrs. Helen (Emerson) Smith was an excellent type of the Yankee girl with a thirst for knowledge. She improved to the utmost her somewhat scanty opportunity for education, and very early in life began to teach, at first in the home school, for nine shilling ($1.50) a week, living with the patrons of the school. Mr. Herman G. Smith was also a teacher. A few years after their marriage, they moved to Michigan, but the climate proving bad for Mrs. Smith, they went to Cass County, Iowa, where both continued to teach. In 1885, Mr. Smith was elected County Superintendent of Schools, and being re-elected several times, continued in that office for six years. Both were unusually successful in their chosen profession."
