Notes - Lewis Smith appears in the 1860 census living with his parents Ezra and Elizabeth Smith at Middletown in Frederick County, age six.
According to his obituary in the Pomona Progress Bulletin (citation details below), he came from Maryland to Vancouver, Washington around 1907, then retired to Pomona, California in 1922. He is described as having been in "the general mercantile business for many years, retiring in 1921."
Roy H. Wampler's account of his moves varies somewhat from the above; according to Wampler (citation details below), Lewis Carlton Smith was at Graceham, Maryland in 1890; Vancouver, Washington in 1898 and 1918; San Jose in 1904 and 1912; and Pomona from 1926 on.
Also according to the Progress Bulletin obituary, his funeral was on 15 May 1937 at "the English Lutheran church" and he was entombed "in Inglewood mausoleum." We have been unable to determine precisely where these places are or were. There is an Inglewood Park Cemetery in Inglewood, California, in Los Angeles County, but it's a good forty miles away from Pomona.
Lewis Carlton Smith and his wife Joanna May Derr were second cousins, both being great-grandchildren of Philip Derr and Barbara Koogle.
