    Mr. SMITH and his family lived at 232 Brooks avenue since 1926, previous to
which they resided in Philadelphia. At the time of the tragedy he had worked under
contract with the postoffice for two and one-half years, driving his own truck on his
eleven daily trips between the station and the postoffice. Before this work, he was
employed by the SANDY BANK School in the capacities of janitor, bus driver, and
engineer for three years. Almost ten years he previously spent in the employ of
CHARLES PIERSON when the latter conducted his garage business.
 
    Mr. SMITH was 49 and is survived by a wife and two children, ADA, 13, and
JOSEPH, 16, both attending the Media school. He was a member of the 
Campbell A. M. E. Church and was at one time active in Masons, Elks, and
Knight of Pythias.
