E. W. Smith, another of the partners of Mr. L. S. Butler, was a native of Kankakee, Ill., where he was born about 1849. He received his education at the schools of that place and at the Iowa University, from the latter of which he graduated in April, 1874. He was admitted to the bar in the supreme court of the State of Iowa, and immediately afterwards came to Worth county, and locating at Northwood engaged in the practice of his profession, in company with L. S. Butler, with whom he had entered into partnership. After continuing business for some time in this connection, in July, 1877, the firm dissolved, and Mr. Smith opened an office by himself. This was, however, of but short duration, for ere many months had passed, he left this section, going to Des Moines, where he still resides, having an extensive and lucrative practice in his chosen profession. Mr. Smith never was married although he was a sociable, genial man, of the strictest integrity and of good business capabilities and a great favorite with all who knew him and came in contact with him.
