| Notes |
Clarence R. Smith Family
X2 |
|
We hardly ever heard anyone calling Grandpa by his christian name. They always called him "CR." This was his name thoughout the community as well as in the purebred Duroc hog business or fraternity as some referred to it. Seemed to sound a bit more professional tha hog farmer when you were dealing in purebreds which were commanding a higher price as breeding stock rather than ham and bacon. You had to know where those genes were coming from and what you wanted to match them up with to get the right finished product and "CR" was good at doing just that. Some families would sit around and play cards or games while my Father and Grandfather would try to be "matchmaker" between pigs. (James Melvin Smith - 2002)
| Photo note: |
This photo is the only known group picture of the Clarence R. Smith Family. The date is unknown but was used in a trade magazine, "The Duroc News", Who's Who Edition which was published annually and featured a prominent family involved in the raising of purebred Duroc hogs. It is thought the publication would have been done in the early 1950's.
