THE  unOFFICIAL  WILLIAM  SMITH Memorial Home Page William Smith is the chief Patriarch and is a noble fellow (Elder John C. Bennett) "Father Smith's... boys were conscientious, honorable men. William was the exception... he had seen so much persecution... it sometimes made him feel desperate, and he had a temper to contend with and he made some trouble through his hasty acts."  (Uriah Roundy) "William Smith... was a horrible character. Drinking, fighting, and ruining virtuous females by the wholesale, were his saint-like occupations" (Wilhelm von Wymetal)
