Jno Smith crippled by rheumatism and father of five lived in a small cottage with his wife and children. A constable moved the family’s furniture after rent fell two months behind, neighbors protested, and Smith endured hours of cold. Funds from neighbors raised about $20, enabling a transfer to 229 West North Street, with rent paid to May 1. The case involved a rent judgment, ejectment writ, and agency ownership by Coffin & Co for W. A. Kugilah. Smith, a veteran, had been treated by dispensary physicians, and the exposure worsened his condition while seeking a pension.
