Warner H. Smith standing in front of 68 North Main St., 30 May 1911. From an unused postcard, with notes on the back. Mr. Smith, one of three blacksmiths of that era (the others were Emmanuel Isaacs and John Zurbrick), had horse shoeing barns at what is now 10 Forest Avenue. He also ran a wagon and farm implement store next door to this house on Main St. In 1910, this residence was owned by the Chamberlin family. It later became the headquarters building of Peterson Drug Stores, and is now a private residence. My guess is that Mr. Smith worked on shoeing the horse shown here, which belonged to the Chamberlins.
