His name was Herman Smit but went by Smith. He was born in Michigan 4 Dec 1888. Both parents were Dutch. He joined the army at the Presidio (WWI) and when got out he stayed in California. As far as I know he never married. He was an egg candler and is on the 1920 census. I was told my now deceased Aunt that Herman was murdered and his body was found in the SF Bay, she thought early 1930. I think it is possible that he commited suicide. I am thinking that is was earlier than that. His burial was paid for by the egg candlers union, but do not know where he is buried. Any help would be appreciated as I live in Michigan, so resourses are very limited for this information. Thanking you in advance, Lynne
