Text from Haynes, Nathaniel S. History of the Disciples of Christ in Illinois 1819-1914, Cincinnati: Standard Publishing Company, 1915. Page 605. This online edition © 1997, James L. McMillan.

Born: Missouri, 1842.
Died: Clovis, New Mexico, 1913.

Mr. Smart joined the Baptist Church when he was fifteen years of age. He gave the Government over four years of military service in the Twenty-fourth Missouri Volunteer Infantry. At the close of the war he entered Abingdon College, from which he graduated in 1868. During this time he changed his church affiliation. The plain gospel overcame his temperamental Baptist proclivities.

After his graduation, he taught in a school two years. Then he entered the ministry. His work was at Macomb, Colfax, Centralia, Winchester, Waukegan and Danville chiefly. Besides this, he was associated with the Christian Publishing Company for twelve years. Mr. Smart's ministry was always safe and constructive.
