Big Run, Jefferson Co, PA - a physician

He was born at DuBois, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, where he spent his youth, acquiring his early education in the public schools. He was the first native-born boy of DuBois to graduate from the following institutions: DuBois high school, DuBois Business College of that place, Clarion (Pa.) State Normal School (1899), Grove City (Pa.) College 1901), and Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, where he was admitted to advanced standing, graduating therefrom in 1905. He spent one year at the Adrian Hospital, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, in further preparation for private practice, eventually settling at Big Run in Jefferson County. For several years he practiced from that point, but after spending eight months of the year 1911 in Philadelphia, taking specialties, on his return opened an office in Punxsutawney, where he found the larger part of his work. He was again associated with the Adrian Hospital, as pathologist, Roentgenologist and gastro-enterologist. Dr. Smathers was a member of the County and State Medical Societies, of the American Medical Association, and of the Roentgen Ray Society of Central Pennsylvania (charter member of the latter).
