Dr. C. B. Smith, for many years a prominent physician in East
Portland and in Clackamas County, died at 2:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at his residence in this city, 472 East Pine street.
Dr. Smith was the son of the late Dr. S. Smith and was born in
Seneca County, New York, July 10, 1846. He came to Oregon in 1879,
locating in Portland, and ten years later went to Eagle
Creek, Clackamas County, where he practiced his profession until
four years ago, when he removed to Estacada, in the same county,
returning to Portland to reside about two years later.
While living in Clackamas County, Dr. Smith was elected a member
of the Oregon Legislature, serving as a member of the House
at the sessions of 1895 and 1897. Last May he started East on a
trip, reaching Chicago, where he was taken ill and had to return
to Portland. From this illness he never recovered. Dr. Smith was
a member of Estacada Lodge of Oddfellows. He is survived by a
widow and one son, Simeon.
Funeral services will be conducted at Oregon City tomorrow under
the auspices of the Oddfellows. |
