  SMITH, CHARLES C., was born in New Berlin, N.Y., October 27, 1828.  
He was converted in Guilford, N.Y., in 1849, in a revival service 
conducted by Rev. P. G. White.  He joined Wyoming Conference on trial 
in May, 1858, having been duly recommended by the Court Street 
(Tabernacle) Quarterly Conference.  His labors as a local preacher in 
this church had been a blessing to the church and gave his name a 
fragrance not soon forgotten.  In 1858 he was appointed to Moscow, and 
the following year he was sent to Cherry Ridge.  During the year he 
succumbed to the ravages of consumption and was forced to quit work.  
On September 20, 1860, his spirit took its flight.  He lies in the 
cemetery at Cherry Ridge.
