From Pioneers of Old Hopewell; Ralph Ege; 1908;

"To Andrew Smith may be given the honor of naming Hopewell township, and a short sketch of his history may not be out of place just here as he was the progenitor of a distinguished family in the early history of the township.  In the deed of Cornelius Empson of Brandywine Creek, now Wilmington, Delaware, to Andrew Smith dated May 20, 1688, the tract is called Hopewell, and when on February 20, 1699, application was made by the inhabitants north of the falls of the Delaware for a new township, they requested in the petition that it be called Hopewell.  He resided within the boundaries of old Hopewell township in the vicinity of the present site of the Hospital for the Insane now in Ewing township."

Buried next to her are Sarah (Hart) Smith, wife of Andrew Smith IV, and Charles Smith, her son who was "deprived of his reason" as mentioned in Andrew III's will.

Growing tired, as it is said, of the monotony of farm life and longing for the excitement and amusement incidental with life in the city, Daisy Smith, thirty-five years old, wife of Frank E. Smith of Romulus, left her home and husband some months ago and came to this city to live. That's the prologue. Yesterday Frank E. Smith of Romulus, a prosperous farmer, came to town in search of his wife, in response to a letter, so he claimed, that he received from her several days ago in which she promised that if  he would come to the city and bring $25 with which to buy her new clothes, she would return to the farm with him. It does not follow that Smith parted with the $25, nor does he divulge the difficulties experienced in inducing his wife to return home. At any rate he must have met with a refusal for late yesterday afternoon, he secured a warrant from Judge Wyckoff charging his wife with being a vagrant and having no visible means of support. Chief Kane took the warrant and went out to hunt for the woman. He visited a place where she had been staying but was informed that she was out. He had reason to question his informant's veracity but decided not to search the house until later. He returned to the station and was followed shortly after by the woman wanted. She was informed that she was under arrest and was immediately arraigned, charged with vagrancy. She pleaded guilty and sentence was deferred upon her promise to return to Romulus with her husband. The couple left town last night. Judge Wyckoff gave the woman some good advice finishing with the statement that if she was ever found in the city again, acting as she had been during her recent stay here, she will be severely dealt with.
