Lee Roy Smith was the son of Samuel McFate Smith and his wife Ellen Matilda Dalyton Smith.
He married Ada Wilcox 29 June 1914 in Gridley, Butte, California. They moved to Oakland before 12 September 1918 when Lee registered for the WWI Draft. He was working in the ship yards as a blacksmith, which he continued on through the 1920 census. By the 1930 census, he was working as a street car conductor. His wife's niece Reva Robison LaSane said, "Uncle Lee worked as a conductor on the street car. It was called The Key. [Ada died in 1934.] In about two years [actually 7 years] as near as I can recollect, Lee was crowing the street in the rain and was knocked down by a street car and killed. Aunt Ada and Uncle Lee didn't have any children."
