Research Notes:
Son of Milo Smith and Mary (Lathrop) Smith
"Smith, Milton D., was born in Chautauqua county, New York, June 6, 1834.
His father, Milo Smith, removed his family to Michigan in 1839, and the
following year to St. Joseph county, Indiana. Here Milton had the advantages
of a country school, and spent his youth. In the autumn of 1855 he came west
in search of a place to build him a new home and fortune. He found the desired
spot in a quarter-section of Minnesota fertile lands, viz: the N. W. 1/4 of
Sec. 35 in the township of Plainview, and hastened back to his old Indiana
home to acquaint the lady of his choice, and make arrangements for the removal
of his personal effects hither in the spring. January 6, 1856, he was married
to Margaret Leininger, daughter of a St. Joseph county farmer, and as soon as
spring opened, with his young wife, came to resume possession of his new home.
From the first, prosperity attended the life of the young pioneer and his
bride. His fortune grew apace, and in 1879 he bought the E. B. Eddy place, one
of the finest residences in the neighboring village of Plainview, and removed
to town ..." [Ref: Kathryn Hill 7/1/2010]
