General Notes: Husband - William H. Smith


He was educated in the public schools in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, attending them until he was twelve years of age, then worked with his father on the river until 1866. Soon after this he accepted a position in the Chess Rolling Mill in Pittsburgh, then went to Wood's Mill in McKeesport, where he worked twenty-four successive years as a heater. His health then failing, he left the mill in 1897, after which he was appointed tax collector of McKeesport, an office he filled six years. He was Republican in politics, and was one of the assessors of Allegheny County. He belonged to the First Baptist Church, of which he was a trustee for over fifteen years, and he was a member of the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. He built the first house on Penney street, McKeesport, and saw the town grow from a population of eighteen hundred to one of forty-five thousand inhabitants. He was an industrious and thrifty man, and was the owner of considerable real estate.
