    Olive Smith, 48, female, widowed, resident for 1 year, born in New York, farming
    B G Smith, 6, male, resident for 1 year, born in Ohio

    Olive states that she is a widow in this census, but Nehemiah Smith wasn't dead, and wouldn't be dead for another 24 years or so. It seems likely that this indicates that they were divorced.
