Edwin Smith operated a stored in the 1880s and 1890s at Federal Point, Florida, near Jacksonville and St. Augustine. Smith was involved in the orange trade and had dealings with several produce sellers including Bernard Abel and Co. and John A. Lyon, both of New York, and T. Nooney and Sons in Jacksonville, Florida. He also purchased fertilizer and other supplies for local grove owners from suppliers such as Wilkinson and Co. He also helped found the local Episcopal Church, although no references to the church (other than passing inquiries made by family members in letters) are found in this collection.
