As a young man Dr. Smith enjoyed having a team of high spirited horses. In fact one of the family stories tells how Rose, as a young bride, used the horses to time her biscuits. When she heard the team’s hoofs hitting the old Post Creek bridge she’d put the biscuits in the oven, and they would be done to a turn for dinner. When the horse and buggy became a part of the past he enjoyed having a nice car. Dr. Smith was not only a family doctor to many people, but also a family friend. The roads were never too bad, the hour too late, nor the weather too stormy for him to make a call. He never turned down a call until recently when he felt that his own health might interfere [missing rest]
