General Notes: Husband - Alexander V. Smith

---

He received a liberal education at the common schools of the place of his nativity. At the age of fifteen years he left home for Brownsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where for nineteen years he filled the position of clerk in stores. In that town he resided twenty-three years, or until 1870, when he proceeded to Port Perry, Allegheny County, for the purpose of settling up a set of books for Miller, Nichol & Co., shipbuilders, shippers, etc., on the Monongahela river. In November, 1872, he removed to Florida, and there carried on a fruit-growing industry till 1884, on July 27 of which year he once more arrived in Washington County, and settling in the city of Washington, conducted a grocery business.

In 1862 Mr. Smith raised a cavalry company for service, known as the "Independent La Fayette Cavalry Company," which was mustered in at Washington, Pennsylvania, about June, and he was appointed captain of same. They proceeded to Wheeling for equipment, and then served in West Virginia some twenty-seven months, chiefly on "scouting" duty, but participated in the first battle of Winchester. At the expiration of their term of service they returned home, and Capt. Smith again took up his residence in Brownsville, where he embarked in mercantile business for his own account. Politically he was a Democrat. While in Florida he was a member of the Board of Public Instruction, and in 1878 he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the Florida State troops, serving until his removal northward. He and his wife and daughters were members of the Presbyterian Church of Washington.
