Smith, Robert Press, M. D. The subject of this memoir was born in Charleston,
South Carolina, on October 10, 1839. He received his primary education at his
home, then graduated at the Military Academy in his native State in March, 1859.
He immediately commenced the study of medicine, and in March, 1861, graduated at
the South Carolina Medical College. At the breaking out of the War, he was
commissioned Captain of Company E, First South Carolina Regiment of Infantry,
serving most of the War in fortifications around the city of Charleston. He
served with distinction until the close of the War, when he returned to the
place of his nativity, and soon after practiced his profession near Charleston.
He emigrated to California in March, 1868, settling in Santa Rosa, where he has
not only practiced medicine with marked success, but has been identified with
the business interests of the city.
