• Notes

  Widow’s declaration for Pension, dated 6 Aug 1886. Elizabeth Jamieson first had been married to Smith. Her second husband’s name was John Rhodus but she was divorced from him on Dec 2, 1876, and reverted to her first husband’s name of Smith. She claimed to have five living children by a former husband, the youngest now 11 yrs. of age, and that she had not remarried since JP’s death. She was living in Beaufort and signed with her mark. Notes for ELIZABETH JAMIESON: John Rhodus, Leslie, age 26, was the son of Mrs. James Childers by her second husband and Joseph Smith was her son by her first husband. On Monday evening July 13, 1903, Smith was beaten in a hard fight with Martin Kenser and Rhodus who was in Leslie for medical treatment, went without supporting Smith, who angry and intoxicated, went home later and quarreled till about bedtime when he shot Rhodus in the abdomen and made a hole extending from the left kidney to the navel and about two inches in diameter. Rhodus ran toward August Remmert and called loudly for help and fell. He suffered intensely and begged to be killed. Dr. Paul W. Fayn saw that the wound was mortal and soothed him as much as possible. He died the next morning. The mother enfeebled by cancer, begged for peace between her sons and died the same evening of the frightful shock. Joseph Smith, age 41, born in MO, weight 160 pounds, a laborer, was an uneducated man of intemperate habits and pled guilty to second degree murder and was given fifteen years from November 11, 1903 and served from November 19, 1903 to February 10, 1915 when he was discharged under the three-fourths law for good conduct and he returned to his former home to live with relatives and friends.
