Facts and Events
Died at the mouth of the Kiskiminetas (Tiscaminit) in 1818. "In 1818 the wife of Henry Smith was killed by a cow. Some time after he visited Mr. Delo, who inquired after his circumstances. He replied that it was hard to get along without a mother in so large a family. Mr. Delo said: 'You should get you a wife." He replied: "I have no time to hunt one." Mr. Delo told him he had a neighbor, a widow with a number of children, and "when you come again I will take you up and introduce you." Several years passed. In February, 1820, Mrs. Delo died, and when Mr. Smith came again Mr. Delo had married the widow. She was Eve, oldest daughter of Christopher Hummel, one of the founders of Hummelstown, in Dauphin county, who had been a teamster in Washington's army. They were of German stock. She had married Daniel Loughner, a son of Rudolph Loughner, of Westmoreland. He died at the mouth of the Tiscaminitas in 1812. The widow at once moved to Beaver township, where her brothers, Samuel and Henry, and other members of the family, lived." --- Genealogical and Personal History of the Allegheny Valley, Volume 1 [google books] Continuing the above.
