-----
From “This Old House” by Kathryn Wilson, “H. Tod Smiser House:”

This old house stands opposite the First Methodist Church and at the corner of Pike and Church Streets. The old place distinguished itself during the Civil War by housing one of the famed generals of the Confederacy. Yes, Gen. John Hunt Morgan slept here.
The families who have occupied the house come in this succession: the William Huddlesons, the John Miller Andersons, the Jacob F. Millers, the Gustavus Magees, the William Lairs, the James Curles, the Dr. John Harmon Smisers, the Dr. Tod Smisers and the Glassel Butlers.
The one-story brick section in the rear was built long before the two-story frame front section, and evidently by William Huddleson in the early 1800's. After the death of Huddleson, William Lowry, guardian of Huddleson's infant heirs, authorized Judge James Curry to sell it at the Court House door. At this sale in September of 1833 it was bought by John Miller Anderson.
Though he had possession for only a year, the Andersons most certainly occupied it during that time, for Miss Analena Anderson says she has heard her father, Thomas W. Anderson, son of John Miller, tell about moving in 1834 from there to the house where the City Hall now stands. He said he was such a small boy that his little red chair which he was commissioned to carry to the new house, seemed a very heavy load.
A year later in September, 1934, Jacob F. Miller came into possession of the house and evidently built the front part somewhere around that date, for the next deed mentions the place as the two-story frame house.
The next owner was Gustavus Magee. We have no information of any of the incidents of his occupancy. Gus Magee sold the place to William Lair for $1,700 in 1856, just 100 years ago.
William Lair is said by several of his relatives here to have been the one-armed Lair. At any rate the William Lairs lived in the old house for some years. They had only one daughter, Emma Alice. After they died, Emma Alice boarded in town and went to school for a while and loved the social life of early Cynthiana. But by the time she was twenty she was in such bad health that she went to live at "The Cedars," on the Old Lair Pike with her uncle, John Lair. Here she was confined to her bed for several years, and it is said that as she lay there she often looked at the burial vault key which hung near the mantel and said, "Please don't bury me in that vault." But sad to say she died in her early twenties and was buried in the vault. Mrs. Alice Lair was named for Emma Alice, and Miss Varnon Northcutt is in possession of a beautiful diamond which once belonged to the same Emma Alice.
After the Lairs moved out, the old frame house was soon occupied by the James Curles. Here their second child and only daughter was born. She was named Annie Morgan to please their star boarder at the time-Gen. John Hunt Morgan.
Gen. Morgan is thought to have occupied the upstairs east bed room. And there it was no doubt, that he left his watch when he was surprised by a message that fresh Union troops were approaching town. This was probably the Sun(lay morning, June 12, 1864 (the day after the Confederate victory in the Second Battle of Cynthiana), when the Union Gen. Burbridge approached in the early hours from the Millersburg Pike and recaptured Cynthiana. At any rate Gen. Morgan rushed off without his gold watch, never to return. The watch, however, was sent to him later.
It was probably during the First Battle of Cynthiana, that a minnie ball tore through the window of this same room and landed on the Curles' best feather bed. In the middle of this same feather bed, lay baby George Ashbrook, a few months old. His mother, Mrs. Sam Ashbrook had brought him to call on her good friends the Curles, then had promptly forgotten him and run to the basement with the others when the shots began to whiz around the house. Finally somebody in the safety of the basement happened to think of baby George and ran upstairs just in time to jerk him from the burning mattress and put out the fire.
The Curles moved from this old house to Robinson Station. Their other children were Will, Pierre and Jim.
Dr. John Harmon Smiser then bought the house from the Emma Alice Lair estate around 1870. He married Mary Ewalt and here they reared their children. While studying medicine in St. Louis, John Harmon Smiser had become such an admirer of one of his professors, Dr. Tod Helman, that he named his second son, Tod, after him. Their other children were Hunt, Mary, Louise and Earl.
Tod Smiser grew up and went to study medicine in New York City. Here he studied under the same illustrious Dr. Tod Helman. Dr. Tod Smiser married Kate Whaley and here at the old house they reared their children, Louise and Harmon Tod. Louise married Glassel Butler from Culpepper County, Va., and they continue to make their home with Mrs. Kate Smiser in the old place after nearly 90 years of Smiser ownership. Harmon Tod studied medicine at the University of Louisville. married Katherine Wiglesworth arid they built their present home on the Leesburg Pike.
The bedroom pictured here is the one where Gen. Morgan slept and also where baby George Ashbrook slept on the burning bed. Above the mantel in the bedroom across the hall is a portrait of Dorcas Saunders, the step-great-grandmother of Britain's Hon. Harold MacMillan. Of course Dorcas Saunders' place over this mantel is due to the fact that she is also the great-great-grandmother of Mrs. Glassel Butler (Louise Smiser) one of the present mistresses of this old house.
A significant piece of furniture in the hallway picture, is the carved oak bench, the carving having been done by the late Louise Smiser, Mrs. Butler's aunt for whom she was named. This same Louise Smiser also did some of the carving on the interior woodwork of the Episcopal Church here.
An outstanding feature of this old place is the ancient poplar tree seen in the picture. It was old when Charles Rieckel, who died some years ago at the age of 108, walked here from Paris in 1856 and rested under its branches. He said it was the first thing he saw of Cynthiana. The old tree stood there in all its majesty and watched as the Methodists built their first church, of red brick, across the street. This was in 1820. The old tree saw the church burn down in 1844 and watched the building of a smaller edifice in 1845, saw it torn down in 1870, then rebuilt, and the present building erected in 1905.
The famous old tree saw a great deal of both the first Battle of Cynthiana in July, 1862, and the second Battle of Cynthiana in June of 1864, which lasted about five hours, during which time the entire business section of town was burned. The same old tree no -doubt sheltered Indians and the earliest pioneers. In fact, if trees could talk, a historian could sit under the branches of this old tree and write as interesting a history of Cynthiana as any which has ever been written.
