In the early 1860s Marcus went prospecting with brother, Hiram via wagon train
in Idaho and was gone for two years. With the gold he brought back he bought a
farm in Round Prairie vicinity of Jefferson County,IA. Marcus made the brick to
build the house and brought the stone for the window sills and wall from the
White's home.
The Smiths were a musical family, and with daughter, Martha, playing the organ,
spent evenings singing.
