Wesley Asbury Smith, MD (March 26, 1853-July 4, 1926) was the son of Anthony 
Garnett Smith, Jr. and Elizabeth M. Smith, pioneers of Upson County and Talbot 
County, Georgia. Dr. Wesley A. Smith came to Texas in 1886 after graduating 
with honors from the Louisville Medical College and in 1887 married Nellie 
Welch (1867-1893).

For a time, he was associated in the drug business with Dr. James G. Adams. 
Over the years, he and his family lived in Branchville, Millican, and Hearne, 
Texas.  He was a member of the Methodist Church since childhood. Dr. and Mrs. 
W. A. Smith had two children: Alline Garnett Smith (1890-1957) and E. E. Smith 
(1893-1893). Alline Garnett Smith married Roy Smith and was an avid 
genealogist and a member of the DAR. Many Welch-Smith family members are 
buried in Norwood Cemetery in Hearne.

Dr. Wesley Asbury Smith had a sister, Adalade "Addie" Smith Howell (July 20, 
1865-Apr. 20, 1951), who lived in Hill County and McLennan County, Texas.  He 
would visit his widowed sister and her family often.
