In 1835 she married Francis Henney Smith and the couple had seven children. They settled into domestic life in Lexington, Virginia in November 1839 when Francis became the first Superintendent at VMI. In addition to raising children, supervising her household, interacting with cadets and faculty, and actively participating at the Grace Episcopal Church, Sara was a published poet. Although a contemporary and friend of poet Margaret Junkin Preston (who was the wife of John T. L. Preston, one of VMI's founders and a longtime faculty member), Sara never gained the fame enjoyed by Preston.","Sara wrote stories and devotional poems, focusing on themes of religion, worship, piety, and moral conduct. In addition, during the Civil War she composed a series of long verse letters that provide accounts of local and regional wartime events. After 1865 she returned to composing primarily devotional poetry. Sara died in Lexington, Virginia on May 18, 1884.","View a portrait of Sara Henderson Smith (circa 1835) here.","This collection contains three manuscript notebooks that include verse letters, poetry, notes, and a few newspaper clippings (bulk 1861-1865).

These letters were written to her brother-in-law and other family members, relaying news received from her husband, Francis H.
