Ella, <br />widely known in Orange County for her beautiful voice, was a soprano <br />soloist at Catholic, Jewish, and Protestant services for many years. The <br />family moved to Santa Ana in 1903 after Mr. Smith retired from the <br />furniture business in Grand Rapids. He died in 1916 and Margaret passed <br />away in 1921. Ella was active in several women's organizations, including <br />the Ebell Club.
