FLOYD C. SMITH

	Floyd C. Smith, a popular and skillful tonsorial artist, has now
a leading and first class shop  in Northport, Washington, where he has 
resided since 1895.  His standing in this city is of the best and he has
made a very successful record financially.
	Floyd C. Smith was born on April 8, 1869, in Pawpaw, Michigan,
being the son of Sidney T. and Lydia (Teller) Smith, natives of Pawpaw 
and Lapeer county, Michigan, respectively, and now residing near Moscow,
the former being sixty-five years of age and the latter fifty-seven.  
Our subject has one sister, Mrs. Maude Blaire, whose husband, Fred Blair,
is a machinist of Spokane.  When young, Fred C. went with his parents to
McCook, Nebraska, and there engaged in railroading, having gained his 
education before leaving Michigan.  In 1892 he came with his parents to
Seattle and there engaged in the barber business.  It was in 1895 that 
Mr. Smith landed in Northport, having made the journey from Moscow with
team and wagon.  An invoice showed his financial holdings to be very 
small indeed, but he soon secured a shop and went to work and has since
continued in the business with a very gratifying patronage.
	Fraternally, he is affiliated with the Red Men and the A.O.U.W.
	In 1892 he was elected treasurer of the city of Northport, his
name appearing on the Socialist ticket.
	On October 6, 1896, Mr. Smith married Mrs. Bertha Evans and to
them two children have been born, Eva L. and Reta M.
