,Js£r' MTlfewihe Smith familr. of Ketr JtarMf atiotild increase from one couple !• more than threo thousand members in about tone hundred and thirtjr-flvc year* I* « question it la difficult to uo- dtfatand, without the knowledge that the original couple had seventeen Children, all of whom married and had ftom three »o fifteen children. With Ito advantage of saoh a good start. tlM Smith family has multiplied and tsplenlshed New Jersey until it has iMome safo to address a stranger In that llttlo State a* a Smith, without much fear of ranking a mistake. It Is not certain that there are only three thousand Smiths In New Jorsey, the Bmlth rennion at Peapark last week, having called out only those who claim !• be in the lineage of John Schmidt, who came from Holland iri 1743, and «ii induced to settle In New Jersey that he might not lose sight of a Ger­ man jlrl by the name of Christmas Hassel. Although he soon spelled Schmidt 9-m-l-t-h, It Is probablethat his New Jersey descendants esteem themselves a peculiarly excellent or­ der of Smiths, as they must be If it Is true that no one of their family has ever been convicted of crime, or prov­ ed other than an industrious citizen.
