Smith Eddy
Smith Eddy - Alonzo (Lon) Smith came to this part of Birch River in the early 1900's and lived there until 1941; thus the eddy is named for him. He was a farmer, blacksmith and a trader of horses and mules. He did not allow his eight sons to fish on Sunday, a rule that must have tested them sorely. Hope Gas had a swinging bridge that spanned the river at this eddy but it has been dismantled.
