Primitive Corydon and the First White Settler Edward Smith
A Corydon reminiscence by Elizabeth Williams recounts Edward Smith as the town’s first settler and the origin of Corydon’s name from General Harrison’s choice after Smith’s daughter Jennie sang “Old Corydon” for him. The piece notes the Smith cabin’s decline, a proposed monument, and details about Smith’s family and the town’s early history, including inscriptions and burial sites. It also mentions Prof. Alfred E. Martin as Corydon’s superintendent and cites favorable notices from educational journals and Greensburg News.
