In 1854 Alfred [Annette's uncle, twin brother to her father Albert] married Rachel Mott Swan of New Sharon, Maine, and their first child, Edward Albert, was born in 1855.
Albert followed a few years later, marrying Eliza Phelps Cornell in 1857. Their only child, Annette "Nettie" Smiley, was born Nov. 6, 1858, but she died March 20, 1863, before she was 6 years old.
As a result, Eliza suffered a breakdown in health and resigned her position as associate principal at Friend's School. She was in delicate health the rest of her life, never completing recovering from the loss of her only child.
