ciety, and one Of the men who organized
and made the city famous for its vic
torious Kinks. Though in the course of
an active life he several times accu-
mulated comfortable fortune, he was
liberal to a degree and died in compare
lively moderate circumstances.
His death occurred without warning.
Mr.. Smith went to the office Of DR.. Arch
ibald yesterday afternoon for the pur-
pose of consulting his physician, and
while receiving treatment was seized
with sudden weakness and died al
most before assistance could reach him.
The remains were conveyed to the fam
lily residence, 53S Canada street, from
which the funeral services will be held.
John F. Smith was of Scotch parentage
and came to St. Paul from Aylmer, On
tario, where his. father and a sister still
live. At the time of his death he was
fifty-two years of age and had lived in
st. Paul since the later sixties He en-
tered II saloon business almost imme-
diately after coming to the city, in what
is now the wholesale district At differ
ent times he occupied ocations at
Fourth ard Sibley, Third and Robert,
Third and Jackson, Fourth and Robert,
and under the firm name of Smith &
Davidson at Fourth and Sibley and Sew
enth and Jackson. At the time of his
retirement from business he conducted
saloon at the corner of Third and
Robert street.
The firm of Smith & Davidson twenty
years ago was the most prominent In the
sa5oon business in the city. Mr.. David
son, the junior partner afterwards left
the city, and Is now located at Seaforth,
Can. For several years the firm occu-
pied quarters on the corner of Fourth
and Sibley, afterwards removing to Sew
enth and Jackson, where they fitted up
the most elaborate and expensive saloon
which WIS operated at that time in the
entire Northwest. More than $4,000 was
expended on the fittings and decorations.
and the place became famous throughout
the entire section. 1t was ruined In the
fire which destroyed the Schultz block.
After the removal of Mr.. Davidson from
the city the senior partner conducted the
business alone.
Like all Scotchmen, Mr.. Smith was an
ardent athlete. and it was largely due to
his efforts lthatGthe first curling club in
the city was organized. In company with
several of the men who later became IA
nous opponents OF the game, he contest
ed in many bonspieIs, and at the time of
his death possessed no more valued trophy
than an immense silver mug, captured in
one of the contests of many years ago.
He was prominent in the st. Andrew s
society, and in Scotch circles was a lead
ing member Nc
Mr.. Smith was a Democrat in politics.

and while in later days he paid little at
tention to the active work of the party,
was prominent in its operations years
ago. He was Well known for his shrewd-
ness, and though he sought few political
honors, was always a hard worker and
liberal in his efforts to further the in
terests Of the party.
MIR. Smith leaves a wife and five living
children, his two oldest daughters hav

his mother. He leaves two brothers. I.
