General Notes: Husband - William James Smith
He was reared on his father's farm in South Strabane Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and later acquired the property. He continued the industries started by his father and made them profitable. In 1902 he discontinued sheep raising. He had a milk dairy market at Pittsburgh. In 1885, in association with his brother, A. W. Smith, he built a roller flour mill in Somerset Township, which they operated one year, when William J. bought his brother's interest and continued, alone until 1901, when he disposed of the property.
Mr. Smith was one of the township's most active citizens in public matters, paying particular attention to the educational interests and serving for fourteen years as a school director. His election as county commissioner, in the fall of 1908, gave very general satisfaction.
He and his family were members of the United Presbyterian Church at Washington, and he served on its board of trustees.
