John A. Smith is an important link in our research into the Smith Family. We are reasonably sure that he is the brother of our Joseph Smith, who became President of the Smith Sash and Door Company after John's death. (See Joseph Smith's obituary). John Smith's death certificate identified his Father as "Valentine" and his Mother as Anna M. Seltzer - important clues of reaching back on the Smith line.
