    • On May 6, 1878, he was in a field near his house burning stumps, dead limbs, and leaves. Working in the hotness of the sun and near the roaring fires, he doubtless inhaled a great deal of smoke. A thunder shower blew over and dampened his clothing. By nightfall, he had contracted pneumonia. The next day, May 7, 1878, he died. He was fifty years, one month, and six days, aged. He was buried at Saint's Delight Primitive Baptist Church.

    • Thompson Smith built the 1820 farmhouse I lived in for 11+ years. It was part of the Smith Farm, so called, which encompassed 150+ acres in the Sedge Garden area of Kernersville. Only two buildings of the original farm remain, the house and the "wash" where the laundry was done.
