Walter ( Pete) Smith Added by bonnie4tea on 10 Apr 2009 Originally submitted by CarolynShadd32 to Smith Family Tree on 20 Apr 2007 My Grandfather Walter ( Pete ) Smith born April 18, 1899 in Wooster, Ohio, was a retired farmer and construction worker, who was completing his first term on the Lawtey Commission. He was running for re-election for councilman in the December 3 election, but passed away on Nov. 25,1974, following a heart attack. His re-election, due to support of the Lawtey Concerned Citizens Committee, created the highest number of votes for this seat. A special meeting was held on December 16 to declare that a vacancy existed in the Group 4 commission seat due to Pete's death. A special election was held in Lawtey on January 27th to fill this vacant commissioner's seat. He is the only man known to be voted into office after his death.

  6. ↑ In 1930, Pete and Meda were living separately but apparently not divorced yet. Pete was living with a woman and her two children, for which, my Mom (his daughter) had a hard time forgiving him.
