History
History
Edwin Elijah Smith was born Oct 22, 1891 in Richmond to William F. and Sarah Jane Spackman Smith. Edwin married Leone Thompson Nov 27, 1912 in the Logan, Utah Temple.
Edwin was able to purchase a parcel of farmland near his father's farm. He built the home in 1920. The barn that occupies the property was originally located on his father's farm, but Edwin dismantled the entire barn and moved it to his property in 1940. After the deaths of Leone and Edwin in 1959 and 1966, the home was inherited by their son, Dean Edwin Smith. Dean owned the property for many years before he died in 1999, when the home was put up for sale. The current residents purchased the home in 1999 and have lived there since.
Since 2018, between Nov 25 - Dec 23, the property is decorated with Christmas décor from a fundraiser called Cocoa For a Cause.
