duration.
Mr. Smalley had been active during the day. He had taken his mother

Lake, Wis., where he established a farm machinery plant and machine
shop which he operated for several years. It was there that he was
married to Miss Alma Johnson June 16, 1908.
After leaving Shell Lake Mr. Smalley located for a time at Duluth, Minn.,
and returned to Manitowoc 15 years ago to make his home. He was employed
as a machinist at the shipyards here and at the Hamilton plant, Two

all at home; his mother, Mrs. Josephine Smalley; and a sister, Mrs.
Daniel C. Bleser; and a brother, Charles A. Smalley of Muskegon, Mich.
