Notes for Ira Fuller “Pop” Smith
Mexican War Soldier, drummer boy at age 15.
Ira’s father Elijah, may “have been married twice with 8 kids from each family. Many of the first family never came to Iowa. Pop had brothers in both armies of the Civil War.” Note from files in possession of Ruth Welp.
From a letter from Minnie Roller to her granddaughter Janet Woolley: “My Grandfather, Ira Fuiler Smith (“Pop”) was born in Bucks County Pennsylvania right close to where Washington crossed the Delaware. His mother’s surname was Grandon and she came from Ireland. When Pop was about 6 they came to Iowa in 1832. They brought some of the 8 children who belonged to Great Granddad’s first wife. They had a stone quarry just north of Le Claire and later about 1850 they moved out to North English where they engaged in Brick making. I am sure your mother can remember when the Smith’s were still making brick and tile in North English, although Pop had had no interest in it for years.
