           WILLIAM R. SMITH was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1839. He came
        to America in 1857 and to Michigan the same year, landing at
        Detroit, and from thence to Bay City. He worked on the Bay City &
        Alpena State Road for ROBERT PATRICK, and was in Alcona County
        during the completion of that road. He was married in Alabaster to
        MARY CLAIN, and has two children, both girls. He kept the old
        Exchange Hotel at Au Sable for eighteen months and the old Rockwell
        for about six months, and went into the employ of MOORE, ALGER &
        Co, in 1871 and has been engaged with ALGER, SMITH & Co. ever
        since. MR. SMITH is hale and hearty, and as well known among
        lumbermen as any man on the Shore.
