Dr. Smith attended Orange County, grammar school, Randolph Vermont; Northfield Vermont Academy; Kimball Union & Academy, Meridan, New Hampshire. He was not very large or strong man, because if this he decided to do something other than farm or manual work, so he became a member of the first class at the medical department of Vermont University after is reorganization in 1854 and graduated in 1856 in a class of 10; in 1909 he was the only surviving member and also of previous years.
He settled in Plainfield, Vermont where he resided all of his life except five months in Lancaster, New Hampshire, in 1861-62 becoming a very skillful practitioner. He entered actively into the entire activities of the town representing it in the legislature in 1880, promoting the Wells River railroad, the creamery association, and writing the Plainfield History for Hemingway's Vermont Gazetteer and supporting the Universal Church and the Republican Party.
Like his brother, Marcus he sang in he choir and greatly enjoyed social occasions; also like his brothers never used any stimulant, rarely drinking a cup of tea. He was a versatile writer, a reader of history, and had a quick appreciation of modern thought in all its applications: The World needs such men. He was quick and active mentally and physically up to the moment of his death, the apoplexy had greatly impaired his speech. Death came suddenly as he was preparing for bed, where his housekeeper, Mrs. Laura Golden, ( d; Jan 1929) found him the next morning on the floor, a big Rochester lamp burning 18 inches from his head were he fell.
His wife, Edna was an invalid much of her life and like him, extremely quick with the tongue. She died of Bright's disease and they and there six children lie in the village cemetery. The children were all strong at birth but typhoid, cholera, pneumonia, could not be prevented either by his skill or that of his esteemed fellow physician of the village, Dr. Lasselle.
