General Notes: Husband - Cameron C. Smith

---

He was born on a farm in Clinton township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and attended the district schools until he was fifteen years of age, and then attended the old Third ward school in Allegheny City one year, after which he completed his education at Waynesburg College. During his college life he taught school and worked at farming a part of each year to earn money sufficient to further his education. When through college he studied shorthand and secured a position as an amanuensis in the office of Wilson Walker & Company, iron manufacturers. He was employed by them ten years, during which time it was merged into the Carnegie, Phipps & Company, and that into the Carnegie Steel Company. In 1893 he left their employ and engaged with the Reliance Steel Casting Company, a concern engaged in a smaller business. He continued there six years and withdrew and organized the Union Steel Casting Company, and built their plant. This company was organized in 1899 with a capital of sixty-two thousand five hundred dollars, but grew to the large sum of one million five hundred thousand dollars, and became, perhaps, the most successful plant of its kind in the country. Mr. Smith was secretary and general manager of the concern for the first year of its existence, when he was elected president.
He was a member of nearly all of the leading engineering societies in the country, and made close friends of a legion of the leading business men in all sections of the country.
