"From the 25 April 1890 Clifton Forge & Iron Gate Review --- LOST HIS WIFE-
"A man by the name of Isaiah F. Smith with a wife and 5 or 6 children have been living for a year or
two several miles north of this place (Clifton Forge). Some time last winter a man named Lester
came to Smith's house, and being destitute circumstances the latter gave him shelter, food and
rainment. It further appears that the affectionate and loving wife of Isaiah also had her sympathies
enlisted in behalf of the forlorn wayfarer. So active indeed did she sympathize that on last Friday
morning after Smith had gone out hunting she "bundled up" and in company with Lester departed
afoot for parts unknown, leaving behind a heart broken husband and a house full of children to
mourn their loss. Upon the return of Mr. Smith in the evening he soon realized that he had been
deserted by a faithless wife and duped by an ungrateful wretch. As soon as his first emotions of
sadness had passed the unhappy man disposed of his cow and such articles as he could sell and
taking his children departed for West Virginia, where he says he will find a home for them with his
father."
