(fl. c. 1901), lumberman. (H.G. Smith) After James Raysides’s death in 1895, Harlow G. Smith bought Rayside’s sawmill at Martintown. About the beginning of 1901, Smith, described as an Apple Hill lumberman, bought two farms, one in the 2nd and the other in the 3rd of Kenyon, as timberland. (Glengarry News 4 Jan. 1901) In 1901 he sold the Martintown sawmill to Mathew Clingen (father of Albert Clingen) and with a Mr McLennan bought a sawmill at Greenfield. (Glengarry News 13 Sept. 1901) Rhodes Grant seems to assume that the Martintown mill was owned by a combination of John and Harlow Smith, but other sources speak of Harlow G. Smith as if he were the sole owner. In the spring of 1905, Harlow G. Smith claimed to have nearly three million feet of logs in his mill yard at Greenfield. (GN 24 March 1905) Further details about the life of a man who must once have been well known have not come to light.
