Notes from his writeup in Schuylkill County Biographies:

Smith, Daniel H., a merchant and dealer in farm implements at Haas, Pa., was
born in Eldred township, Schuylkill county, Oct 9, 1850, a son of John S.
and Judith (Herb) Smith, the father being a mechanic in Haas during all
of his mature years. He was a master at his trade of blacksmithing and was
able to design and make anything within the sphere of his business.

*snip*

The subject of this sketch was educated in the public schools and at the age
of nineteen started on hisbusiness career independent of home counsels or
restrictions.

He married Miss Susanna Derr, of Fountain Springs, Pa, and they have four
children living,the youngest of the family, John, having died at the age of four years.
The eldest is Emma, now the wife of James Knerr, of Eldred township; Jane is
married to E.W. Brosious, also of Eldred township; Cyrus, a blacksmith by
occupation, married Clara Hepler and resides at his parental home; Dirzah became
the wife of William Treon and resides at Locust Dale, Pa.

Mr Smith served an apprenticeship to the blacksmith's trade during his youth,
and worked at that business for thirty-four years. He owns a farm which he
conducts in connection withhis mercantile business at Haas. This includes a
full line of staple and fancy groceries, drugs, confectionery, tobacco and cigars,
farm implements, etc.He has been assessor of Eldred township for fifteen
years; served twelve years as a member of the township school board; has been
local agent of the North Western Mutual Fire Insurance Company for
twenty years; and has been postmaster at Haas for twenty-one years.

He is a man thoroughly well read, and a leader in the councils of Republicanism.
His friends are legion, and his acquaintance extends to the remotest corners
of the county.

notes from death certificates of children:

note - there was some confusion in filling out Susannah's death certificate. The
entry for fatherhad __y_r (it looks like the leading letter would not have been an 'M'
like the one written below), which was erased, and then Dree written on top.
(although even the leading 'D' is hard to read, only the _ree is clear). Clearly, this
should have been Derr and Boyer.

• _UID: 1F70777B3A3F459E8592A274FC8AA01E4E10

Notes:

Although Susanna Derr Smith's death certificate says her parents are Michael "Dree"
and Elizabeth "Moyer", I really think her last name is Boyer. Not only does she fit in
nicely with Philip Boyer's family, but the sponsorship by Salome Boyer (then
Neidlinger) would suggest this relationship. Also the sponsor by George Boyer would
suggest the same. Geographically, Salome lived in the upper eastern tip of Eldred
Twp which is down the valley from the families in Cameron Twps which attended the
same church. Later the Derrs and Boyers are neighbors near Fountain Hill.

The Moyer just doesn't check out anywhere. The person doing the death certificate
already had problems writing Derr (the namein the History of Schuylkill County
writeup on Daniel S. Smith), and the memory of Elisabeth's parents' names may
have long faded.

Since I've found the sponsor evidance, the fact that Salome had a daughter born
at the right time, they are at the church where Michael Derr's first kids are
baptized, that Salome (then Neidlinger) make the trek over to Fountain Springs for
later baptims of Michael Derr and also his daughter, and the similarity of last names
(Boyervs. Moyer), I'm writing up the family with Elizabeth as a Boyer.

Note also that Elisabeth's maternal grandparents, George Geist and Margaretha were
the god parents for Michael Derr (at his baptism) so there might have been a friendly
relationship between the Geist's and Derr's at that early time.

Note alsothe children Lovina born 1852, and Philip born 1855. These would appear
to be named after Elisabeth's brother Philip Boyer and his wife Lovina.

(I don't believe that is the right JohnSmith family. Certainly the child listing does
not match this John and Magdalena at all (wrong names/ages), but also the
neighbors appear to be folks down in western U. Mahantongo Twp.
Perhaps John was off with family in Ohio since his father just died??)

Also - I looked at the original census (not just the abstract), to see if there was some
chance that the children's names were on adifferent page, or some other confusion,
and it looks like there was just another family in the area. Note that this person is
a laborer, while the John I'm looking for was a house builder, and farmer with his own land.

admin 5:387 (to Daniel Smith)

... The paternal grandfather of Daniel H. Smith was also named John Smith and was
among the pioneer carpenters and boat builders of Pottsville. He located in Eldred
township in an early day and both he and his son John S. were identified with the
development of that township, contributing their share toward its material growth and
prosperity. They owned farms which they tilled in connection with their mechanical
work.

a settlement for John's estate:

the copy of the above estate record shows that at some point, paper work was begun

everyone and for some reason was never completed and filed in the county courthouse.

Johannes married Magdalena SCHNEIDER Bef 1826, Upper Mahantongo Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA. Magdalena (daughter of Philip SCHNEIDER and Maria UNKNOWN) was born 1 Sep 1801, Greenwich Twp, Berks Co, PA; died Between 1840 and 1858, Eldred Twp, Schuylkill Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I'm not sure if the tombstone at Zion is really this Magdalena or if it was his only wife.
Or this is the Magdalena, wife of John Smith in the 1850 census that is clearly a
different family? Everyone seems to assume that the one at Zion is this one.
But why was she buried at a different church? Could it be that the Magdalena,
d/o of Philip baptized in Greenwich Twp isn't this one (I think it is).

is this really the Magdalena Schmidt, wife of Johannes, buried at Zion, Pitman:
2 Dec 1803 - 24 Dec 1851? From my picture:

Note - she definitely had died by the time the estate records came up in 1858. Had
she left John and been living in Barry Twp maybe (since many kids got married
there). I've tried to find John in the 1850census but can't find them anywhere.

Note - after rechecking sources, I can't find that Daniel Durr ever used 'F'
as a middle initial. Only source of that is Dr. Meiser, but not notes suggest
that this is definite. Not in censusor church records. (deeds?). I'm inclined
to dismiss it. - 7/1/05

John Feddersen - no progress
Conrad Frey - no progress OC 1762 lists daughter Catharine
