General Notes: Husband - S. Hulbert Smith
He received excellent educational advantages in his youth, having continued his studies until he was eighteen years of age, and later he taught in a district school near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and also in the borough. He came to Pennsylvania and located in Holidaysburg, Blair County, in 1836, was a clerk there for about two years, and then went to Johnstown, where he also served as clerk at the junction of the Pennsylvania canal and the Portage Railroad, teaching, as above stated, in the winter time, and later permanently identified himself with the industrial interests of the town by purchasing an iron foundry, which he continued to operate successfully for a period of five years. Later Mr. Smith founded the first banking institution in Johnstown, it having been started under the firm name of Bell, Smith & Company, while the original quarters of the bank were in the lower western room of the old Cambria hotel or tavern, which had been erected by a man named Hamilton and which he long conducted. The bank owners rented the room mentioned, with cellar beneath, for the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars, while the lease provided also for the installing of double windows, with all proper locks and bars. Later he sold to what is now the First National Bank. He continued to reside in Johnstown for many years, but subsequently lived in New York and other places. He moved to Latrobe, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in April, 1887. In the first year of the Pennsylvania Railroad construction Mr. Smith, who was engaged at the time in the iron business, erected the first iron railroad bridge at Johnstown, Pennsylvania; also another a few miles distant, east of Johnstown, for the same road. Early in life Mr. Smith supported the Democratic party, but in later years did not give politics any attention. For many years he was identified with the Presbyterian church.
