He visited California sometime before 1908 but did not settle in Los Angeles until the 1920's. In 1933 Smith was granted Jonathan Club Artist Membership in exchange for one of his paintings. In 1937 he was designated as the Club's "librarian and art connoisseur," replacing Stanislaus Porary as custodian of the art collection. Smith died on November 26, 1937.
