_________________________________________________________

    Russell Smith, only child attaining maturity of Stephen Smith, born July 10, 1830, succeeded to the mercantile, manufacturing and other businesses of his father. The buildings connected with these industries were scattered along for some distance on the northeast corner of Main and Genesee streets, back of East Main street as now indicated. The ashery occupied the site of the present Smith Block on Genesee street. He inherited many of his father's characteristics, built the mansion now occupied by Mrs. Smith, and the inception and building of the Cuba Fair Grounds were due to him, and this was his last work. He died, a victim to his devotion to business, Oct. 31, 1869. He married June 17, 1851, Julia Anna, daughter of Rev. Jefferson Wynkoop. Their sons were Addison W. and Charles S.
