| Maria was born c1814. She was married to Thomas S. Smith. She is not listed in the Census records. She died before local newspapers existed to publish her obituary. Maria died on 21 June 1867 at the age of 53 years, 6 months, and 14 days. Berea village did not record her burial. Her tombstone was recorded in 1904 and 1934. She shares a white marble obelisk with her husband, Thomas S. Smith. It is still clearly legible "MARIA" in arched relief is followed by inscribed "WIFE OF THO. S. SMITH DIED June 21, 1865 AGED 53 yrs, 6 mo., 14 da." |
