Smith was unmarried. His death certificate shows the brutality of his years from 1925 until his death 9 years later. He was confined to the state hospital in Clarinda, Iowa. It sounds like death was a friend waiting to visit. The notes on his death certificate are as follows:

"Ill treatment of [by?] attendant Earl Huston and neglectfull treatment on part of hospital in which he was an inmate...Alleged beatings, bruises and abrasions, bedsores...Cause of death, encephalitis lethargica, onset 1925"

MOTHER: Lucy Yeteve Smith
FATHER: Jesse Melvin Lysinger
