1850 note:
(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.

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.

"MR. GEORGE SCHMIDT - NINETY YEARS OF AGE, BURNS TO DEATH IN HOME
NEAR LEIPSIC

On Wednesday evening, April 10 about nine o'clock, the home of George
Schmidt, on the Gore's road northeast of Leipsic Junction, was discovered on
fire. Thebuilding was of frame construction and finished with plastering
boards and paper, causing the fire to spread with great rapidity. Mr.
Orville Young, a mail carrier of Leipsic, was the first to discover the fire
and arrive on the scene. Through the flames the gathering neighbors could
see Mr. Schmidt sitting in a rocking chair in the front room. But the flames
were already bursting through the doors and windows and it was impossible for
any human being to approach the burning building, let alone to enter and
attempt the rescue of Schmidt. Friends and neighbors were compelled to stand
helplessly by while the flames in savage cruelty reduced the aged man to ashes.

Mr. Schmidt, though 90 years of age, was still engaged in purchasing eggs
and poultry from the farmers,and was out on Wednesday as usual. Returning
home Wednesday evening, he unhitched his horse and putting the halter over
the bridle tied him in the stable and retired to the house. The theory of
his friends is that he had suffered a stroke of paralysis, or being chilled
by the cold winds of Wednesday and was resting and warming by the fire when
the warmth of the fire kindled in the stove brought on restful sleep, and
that he did not awaken as the stove became hotenough to set fire to the
building. He apparently had answered the last callas the fire raged, for at
no time was he noticed to make any move or struggle.

Mr. Schmidt leaves a son, Felix, who runs a drug store at Hamler, and a
daughter, Mrs. Phillip Wise, residing near Leipsic.
His children, friends and the community are shocked by the tragedy which
brought a soul home to its last resting place."

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.
