J., attorney at law, Herkimer, is a native of this village and studied law with Brown and Mitchell until his admission to the bar in June, 1881. In November of the same year he entered into partnership with Mr. I. R. Devendorf, which still subsists. He is an able counselor and good pleader, and was elected supervisor of the town of Herkimer twice, in 1888 and 1889. He was chairman of the Democratic county committee in 1885, and is a thorough exponent of Democracy. Mr. Smith comes of an old and honored family, his great- grandfather having been born in this State and the family being old Mohawk settlers on both father's and mother's sides.
