On November 27, 1839, he was married to Lucy, daughter of Joseph and Lydia (Carr) Smith of his native place. Four
children were born of this union, namely: Lydia Ann, who married Henry M. Brown (died in 1893), and has one daughter,
Ada, married to A. E. Butler; Frank, who died at the age of twenty~nine; Augusta, who married John I. Lown of West
Batavia, and has three children: Guy E., Frank A. and Gladys L.; and Augustus, married to Grace Hutchinson of Alden,
who are the parents of one son, Harry H. Augusta and Augustus are twins. Joseph Smith, father of Mrs. Stage, was
born in Connecticut in 1795, and came to Erie county when a young man; he married Lydia Carr of Vermont, who bore
him seven children, Mrs. Stage being the third. Mr. Smith died in 1863 and his wife in 1832.
