Abstract
W. A. Smith was born in Hadley, Mass., in 1826. During his early boyhood his family moved to Wisconsin where he grew up. After marrying and raising a family of two sons and a daughter, he removed to Cortland, N. Y. Reading of Florida’s attractions, he decided to settle there. En route to Florida, he made expenses by giving Bible lectures illustrated by magic lantern slides.
