1895 Ford E. Smith

Ford E. Smith was an early dentist in Fowlerville in 1895. His office was located on the second floor of the (then) Palmerton block (now what I like to call the Harmon block).

Pretty much the next time I came across his name was in 1898 in a short article published in The Fowlerville Review as follows:

Strayed from home, Friday, July 29, dark red Irish setter dog, 10 months old, slender build, wore strap collar; answers to the name of Pat. Liberal reward if returned to Ford E. Smith, Fowlerville, Mich.

And then, At a meeting of the council on Monday evening Ford E. Smith was appointed village clerk to fill the vacancy caused by the death of A.S. Hamell.
