Edmond Elliot Smith was born in the Spring, on the first day of May, 1840, at Westfield, Delaware County, Ohio, to Ebenezer and Eunice Perry Smith. Edmond was the seventh of eight children, having three older brothers, three older sisters, and one younger sister.
While Edmond was still a youngster, the Smith family moved to Michigan. At age 20, in the year 1860, Edmond is listed as a farmer with $70.
In 1861, at age 21, he married Ellen Stubberfield. The following year, he joined the Civil War effort, with his brothers, who all survived the war. They fought on the side of the Union, with the 85th Ohio Infantry.
