General Notes: Husband - John D. Smith

---

He was associated with his brother, William H. Smith, in carrying on a flourishing and profitable business in dealing in hardware and lumber at Cedar and Cherry streets, Mahoningtown, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.

He continued to live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for a year after his father died, and then at the age of fourteen years moved to Mahoningtown, Lawrence County. His early education was received in Pittsburgh, and after he became a resident of Mahoningtown, he continued to attend school in the winters until he was twenty-one years of age. In 1873, he went to Pittsburgh to learn the carpenter's trade, but the panic of '73 stopped all building, and he was forced to return home. From 1874 until 1889 he worked at his trade in New Castle, and then came to Mahoningtown, where he entered into partnership with his brother, William H., in the lumber and hardware business.
He was a member of Lodge of the Craft, F. & A. M., No. 433 of New Castle, and was among the members and willing workers of the Presbyterian Church.
