Smith, Stephen, a son of the late Stephen and Mary J. Smith, the former deceased in 1890, the latter in 1891,
was born on the place where he now resides, March 28, 1874. His only sister, Anna J., is the wife of Charles S.
Bovie of Hoosick, a farmer near that place. Mr. Smith was educated in the public schools .of the vicinity and has
always remained on the homestead; his parents dying before he reached his majority, the care and conduct of a one
hundred and fifty acre farm devolved solely upon him. From the handsome dwelling house, situated on one of the
most prominent places in the township, may be seen the villages of Saratoga, Glens Falls, Fort Edward, Schuylerville,
and to the eastward an unbroken range of vision reaches to the high peaks of the Green Mountain range in Vermont.
In politics Mr. Smith has always been a Republican. His duties in the conduct of his farm require his closest attention,
and preclude all active interests which he might wish to devote to things politically. He is the possessor of one
of the finest farms and in one of the most sightly locations in Saratoga county and upon this farm he devotes all
his time and attention.
