years.
Jerry Smith had been in the White House
over thirty years. having gone there in the
early part OF the second administration OF
President Grant. He was the favorite col
ored servant of nearly all the administra-
lions since that time. President Grant liked
him so much that Jerry was his body
servant President Cleveland and family
were fond Of the old man and took him to
Buzzards Bay and elsewhere with them.
Smith was born and reared on the East
ern shore Of Maryland and was as polite
a Chesterfield. He despised common ways
and manners In either white or colored peo-
pie. Attired in long, white apron and
wearing a neat white cap he vigorously
used a buster and a mop throughout the
White House.
