Written by Forrest Smith, son of Frank and Anna Smith:

"Frank Marion Smith met and courted Anna at Norway, Ia using a horse and buggy as transportation. They were married 5 Feb 1901 at the bride's home near Norway, Ia. They soon moved to Clay Co., Ia. to make a living at farming. Their two children were born there. In 1908 Frank was encouraged by land promoters to seek cheaper land at far less taxes in South Dakota. He went there and bought a 160 acre farm in Beadle Co., S Dak. He joined other land buyers to charter a combination box car and stock car freight train to transport his farm machinery and stock. The family rode in the stock car. It was hard, back-breaking farming. They worked long hours; the only power being themselves and one horse. In 1911 the drought cane with no crops. With potatoes and milk from the few cows they owned, they managed to feed the family and they lived through that terrible winter. This farm was bought with money borrowed from Anna's father, Silas. For several years Frank had to borrow money just to pay the interest. Elsie, their second child, died from influenza
