Dr. Smith was united in marriage with Miss Mary, eldest daughter of Mr. Johnson Rossell about the year 1859. He served through the war as a member of Willis' battalion, formerly an adjunct of Waul's legion, but, latterly of the division of Gen. Forrest. After the war he practiced medicine in co-partnership with Dr. J. P. B. January; and at present is engaged with the management of his farming interests.
