Margaret Austry, was
originally from Germany. She was the
daughter of one Henry Austry and was born, probably near Berlin, on September
10, 1830. When she was still a young
child, her parents brought her to the United States. On December 22, 1851, at age of Cincinnati,
for on that day she was married by a justice of the peace to William H. Smith,
possibly an Englishman and a teacher, who probably lived near Oxford. By this
husband Margaret had two daughters. The
first of these, Emma Jane, who was to become the mother of Sherwood Anderson,
was born on October 1, 1852, near Oxford.
What-ever William Smith may have been like, faithfulness was not one of
his strong points; in March of 1854 shortly before the birth of Emma’s sister
Mary Ann, and he deserted his wife “without any cause” and permanently
disappeared, leaving his family without support of her parents.
On July 8, 1857 Margaret Smith petitioned the
Court of Common Pleas of Butler County for a divorce, custody of the children,
“reasonable alimony,” and restoration “to her maiden name Margaret Ostray on
December 4, 1857, the divorce was granted.
Margaret was given exclusive Custody of the Children.
