Sister Smith was a d/o Silas Morse of Bridgetown, N.S., who during the latter part of his life, devoted a good part of his time to preaching the Gospel.

His daughter, the subject of this sketch, was born in Bridgetown in 1816 and was baptized on profession of her faith at age 13. A number of years after her baptism she was married to James M. Smith, Esq. and with her husband removed to Windsor, N.S. and immediately afterwards connected herself to the Baptist church in this place. Dr. Welton, one of her pastors, was a near relative. About 14 years ago, Mr. Smith removed with his family from Windsor to St. John, N.B. Sister Smith immediately transferred her membership to the Brussells St. church."
