Notes for Robert Alexander Smith
R. A. Smith farmed at Coy in Wilcox County, Alabama, until the Fall of 1902 when he moved to Mobile to enter the cotton factor and commission business. He later operated a cotton mill in the Mobile suburb of Prichard, a wholesale grocery with his mother's half-brother, Nathan Gerald Davis, and other mercantile interests in Mobile. Beginning about 1911, he and his son operated a large farm about 5 miles northeast of Pine Apple in Wilcox County, Alabama, which he later sold to his son. During the later years of his life he owned and operated a pecan orchard about 4 miles south of Semmes in Mobile County. He served as a county commissioner in both Wilcox and Mobile Counties. He served on the Board of Stewards of the Government Street Methodist Church in Mobile over 35 years, a number of them as its presiding officer. An extensive history of this Smith family is available.
