Mr. & Mrs. A.B. Smith

Bainbridge Republican, January 27, 1888

A.B. Smith, whose notice of his golden wedding will be found in another column, was married Jan. 19,  1838 at Guilford Centre, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], and he and his estimable wife immediately came to this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] where Mr. Smith commenced blacksmithing and from that time to the present he has ever been ready to "forge and weld" for his many customers.  Although for three or four years past Mr. Smith has worked but little, still the same muscular arm and many of the tools of half a century ago that earned the bread and made a home for his family of eight children, are not altogether idle, but ready almost any day to do a job of repairing.  How few there are who continue in the same line of business fifty years.
