W. C. Smith was born October 4, 1831, in Harrison county, Ohio. His parents, Jacob and Catherine (Randolph) Smith, were of German descent, but their forefathers were among the early settlers of the United States, and participated in the wars of the Revolution and the second war with England, or the War of 1812. In 1846 the family emigrated to Grant county, Wisconsin, where, in 1853, W. C. Smith married Miss Mary A. Munson. In 1865 he came to Butler county and settled on section 24, Fremont township. Of the ten children born unto Mr. and Mrs. Smith, eight are now living – Walter, Dora, Harland, Eva, Ella, Edward, Parker and Mirt.
