[Smith family photograph taken on south side of Jefferson Avenue next to Pear Street]
Note the row of houses on the left side. This row of houses formerly stood on Pear Street between Jefferson and Logan Streets.
The family is the Smith family of Lafayette Street. This was a double house and they are seated in the yard of the second house east of Pear Street (note the iron fence directly behind the people). Warner J. Steel Mill is in the background. The picture was probably taken by an itinerant photographer who either lived there or was photographing for the day at that location. In 1884 Josiah was a wool sorter in the mills. Their home was on Lafayette Street near Cedar Street.
From left to right: Ellen Elizabeth Smith (born March 18, 1876 (Bristol)), Edgar Albion Smith (born December 29, 1880 (Bristol)), Josiah Smith (born August 1, 1841, Luddenden, Yorkshire, England, died April 17, 1891), Ann Speak Smith (born January 5, 1844, Halifax, Yorkshire, England, died April 3, 1929), Mary Alice Smith (born February 9, 1885 (Bristol)), Annie Gertrude Smith (born May 29, 1882 (Bristol), died 1972).
Not pictured with the family is Louis Oswald Smith (born August 24, 1877, died August 27, 1887).
