He was born on August 5, 1862 at

he was a youngster he worked in
the logging camps of Maine until
about 1880. At that time he went
out to Fort Peck, Montana to work.
He went to northern Wisconsin
and Minnesota to work in the log
ging industry for several years, and
in the spring of 1898 he left for
the Klondike. He arrived at Chil
koot in time to help dig out sur
vivors of the snow slide that year.
He moved on to Dawson and
stayed there for several years help- I
ing to finance some of the miners
and prospectors there. In 1902 he re
turned to Wisconsin to marry Jessie
Agness Campfield at Winona, Minn.
After their marriage the couple
went back to Dawson.
Smith came to Fairbanks in 1904
and engaged in mining and logging 1
work here. He bought out Ed
Brooks’ ice business in 1911 and
continued its operation until 1947
when he sold out to William Fitz
gerald.
He served as mayor of Fairbanks
from 1912 to 1914. He was very ac
tive in the Chamber of Commerce '
and in the Pioneers.
His wife plans to continue mak- j
ing her home in Fairbanks.
