George William SMITH

  General Notes:

Born George Karl Frantz Wilhelm Schmitt, changed his name soon after coming to America (with his brother) in 1847.

Volunteer in Company L, 9th Penn Cavalry, rose to rank of Captain but SCB doubts it due to a picture that survived and is probably in possession of George Cruze.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Occupation: Upholstery business.

George married Mary PRAETORIUS. (Mary PRAETORIUS was born in 1826 and died in 1892.)
