Yes, small pox was around in the 1800's. It is assumed to have been eradicated from the general circulation by the 1900's and exists only in labs for use in research and biological warfare as a containerized weapon of mass destruction.
There is debate as to whether the lab stockpile should be destroyed completely to eradicate the disease, but others say that if it is destroyed and the disease somehow pops up again, we won't have the benefit of ongoing research that would help us deal with another outbreak. Also it would be hard to ensure that all countries would actually destroy it and not save it for use as a weapon.
