     HAROLD M. SMITH, Attorney at Law, of Portsmouth, N. H., was
born in Barrington, N. H., September 1, 1887, the son of Walter H. and
Flora E. (Hoyt) Smith.  The father, a native of New Hampshire, is
a lumber dealer well known throughout the state.  The subject of this
sketch attended the public schools and was later graduated from a private
academy at Northwood, N. H., in the class of 1905.  In 1909 he was grad-
uated from Bowdoin College, with the degree of A. B., continuing his
studies at Harvard Law School and completing his work in 1912.  He
was admitted to the bar in June, 1912, and first practiced his profession
with L. P. Snow of Rochester, N. H., locating in Portsmouth in the
present year, 1914.  Although one of the more recent additions to the
bar of this county, he has already given evidence of legal ability and
has bright prospects of a successful future.  Mr. Smith belongs to three
prominent college societies-the Delta Upsilon, the Theta-Nu-Epsilon and
the Phi-Delta-Phi.  He is also a member of the Masonic fraternity and
attends the Congregational church.
     In August, 1911, Mr. Smith married Miss Agnes Maxwell Greene of
Portland, Maine.  They have one daughter, Nathalie C.  Their resi-
dence is at No. 283 Middle street, while Mr. Smith's office is located
in the Congress Block.
