General Notes: Husband - Samuel Smith

---

He graduated from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1823, and after a brief interval of practice removed to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he became the senior member of the firm of Smith, Pryn & Co., iron manufacturers. He also became interested in steamboat enterprises and in other important business schemes. Later he embarked in the drug business, which was continued until a few years prior to his death. He possessed a commanding presence, a clear and well-cultivated mind and a remarkably genial nature, which rendered him justly popular.
