Notes:
I think this bio relates to this George Muma. His age would be about right to have had a daughter named Sarah who couldhave married in Henry Smith 1859

SIMON SMITH, farmer, Harrisburg P.O., was born February 6, 1849, and is a son of Simon and Mary Smith. Simon Senr., was born June 4, 1808, in Jersey Settlement, Wentworth County, Ontario. He was married, January 28, 1835, to Mary, daughter of Joseph and Christina Shuert; she was born near Chippewa, Welland County, October 15, 1810. Mr. Smith Senr. came into Dumfries Township with his parents about the year 1833, and settled two miles north of St. George. After his marriage he located on Lot 4, 1st concession of South Dumfries. He and Mrs. Smith were the parents of seven children, all of whom are living. Their names and the dates of their birth are as follows: Henry, born December 5, 1835; Harvey, December 9, 1838; Cynthia, July 5, 1840; Orpha, December 25, 1843; Alfred, June 27, 1846; Simon, February 6, 1849; and Lavinia, October 16, 1851. Mr. Simon Smith, Senr., died on the 1st of May, 1880; Mrs. Smith is still living, hale and hearty. Mr. Simon Smith Junr., was married, August 6, 1879, to Eve Eliza Bristol, daughter of Joel and Rachel Bristol, of Guelph. They are the parents of two children, named George William, born August 24, 1880; and Charles Edwin, born July 8, 1882. Alfred Smith was married, December 11, 1878, to Julia Isabella, daughter of ----- and Mary Nixon, of South Dumfries. They have two children: Florence Louise born March 24, 1880; and Emily Frances, born July 6, 1881. Harvey Smith is married and living at Colchester, Essex County, Ontario; Cynthia married Samuel McLaughlin, of Brantford Township; Orpha is the wife of Nelson Fonger, Brantford Township; Henry Smith, the oldest son, was married, December 8, 1859; Sarah, daughter of George Muma, of Dumfries became his wife; and Miss Lavinia Smith was married to Walter Shaver, of Woodstock. The Smith family are members of the Methodist Church of which Mr. Smith Senr., was a leader for fifteen years prior to his death. The family acquired an ordinary rural school education, but have evidently made the best possible use of it. A thrilling incident is related of Elizabeth Smith, the grandmother of the family. It is as follows: About the beginning of the present century she resided near the shore of Niagara River, in the vicinity of Chippewa. One morning, as she stood looking across the river, she observed a boat with two occupants going down the river; they showed signs of distress, and Mrs. Smith, who was an excellent oarswoman, immediately jumped into a boat and pulled to the rescue. As she approached them she perceived what the difficulty was; one of their oars had broken, and they were at the mercy of the rapids. She pulled her boat close to theirs, and assisted them into hers, making them lie quietly in the bottom; they were both the worse for liquor. Mrs. Smith had a fearful struggle, but she regained the shore, about half a mile below the place from which she started. Those she saved heaped eternal blessings on her head, so grateful were they for the noble way in which she had come to their rescue.
