  Andrew Smith, cashier of the De Soto State Bank, is well known in financial 
circles of eastern Kansas. He is a native of Ireland, born in County Antrim, 
November 26, 1872, and is a son of James and Margaret (Faulkner) Smith, 
natives of Ireland. Andrew Smith spent his boyhood days in his native land 
where he received a good common school education. He came to Kansas in 1892, 
and for two years was a student at Baker University, Baldwin, Kan. The family 
located on a farm in Shawnee county. After attending Baldwin University, he 
worked as a stenographer and bookkeeper for a time in various positions. In 
1897 his banking career began when he entered the John R. Mulvane Bank of 
Topeka, as bookkeeper. He remained in that capacity until 1902 when he 
accepted the cashiership of the Bennington State Bank of Bennington, Kan., and 
three years later became cashier of the Parker State Bank. He next became 
cashier of the State Bank at Eudora, Kan., and in 1914 became cashier of the 
De Soto State Bank, a position which he has since capably filled. Mr. Smith 
has had a broad experience in the banking field and is capable financier. He 
is a man of good judgment and thoughtful foresight, and his courteous and 
obliging manner makes many friends for the institution which he represents. He 
was married in 1897 to Miss Lillian Y. Yount, of Topeka, Kan. Mr. and Mrs. 
Smith have one child, Margaret.
