Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington. Seattle, Lowman and Hanford Co., 1922. p. 77. EDMUND SMITH is senior member of the firm of Smith, McCullough & Reser, of Seattle, a firm well known for it's splendid clientele. Mr. Smith is a native of Iowa, where he was born in 1860. His early educational training was had in public schools following which he read law, and was admitted to the bar in 1887. He entered active practice in Rapid City, S. D., and continued there until 1903, when he located in Alaska, later coming to Seattle. That was in 1912. For some time Mr. Smith was senior member of the law firm of Smith, Foster & Worthington, which was dissolved in 1917. He next became senior member of the firm of Smith & Chester, which was disolved in 1921, and now senior member of the firm of Smith McCullough & Reser. While Mr. Smith realizes that litigation, whether indulged in by corporation or individual, is costly, and while there are many cases that pass through his offices that are amicably settled without recourse to law, at the same time when he does enter a trial, he maintains rigidly every right of his client. A man possessing thorough knowledge and comprehension of the many intricacies and complex problems of his profession, he has attained success that is well founded. Mr. Smith, in 1887, was married to Miss Isabelle L. Webber, and the couple have two children, one girl and a boy.
