Hiram T. Smith [SEP] date of death
Hiram T. Smith
Private Hiram T. Smith is a legendary casualty of the bloodless Maine Aroostook War, having died in 1828. Although one of roughly 38 men killed (all were non-combat deaths), he is the most famous because many locals consider him the only casualty of the war. A memorial placed in the middle of the Haynesville Woods along U.S. Route 2A also added to his fame. In 1933, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) placed a marble marker at the site and later updated it
meetings and soon disbanded. In 1865, Booth moved to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
Booth is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Cuyahoga Falls, not far from the Johnson home in Hiram. He was buried on January 12, 1873, but the precise date of his death is unknown.
