Maryland archives has a Gordon Smith date of death November 21, 1948 death certificate number G68819. This might be the one you are looking for. I did not check out the archives just the index. Since you have this date of death I found (might be the person) you can check with the Enoch Pratt Library and see if the have the obit and then you can see if it is the one you are looking for.
