GARRET G. SMITH

Garret G. Smith, merchant, in Allendale, and in various capacities serving
the borough officially, is a grandson of Albert G. Smith of Holland origin,
who died in this part of Bergen county in 1868, ninety years of age. The
grandmother's name was Hopper, and their children were Cornelius A., John
A., and Garret A. The homestead is on the road leading from Allendale to
Wyckoff. Garret A. Smith was born in 1820, and is still living. He was
formerly a millwright and has been a successful and somewhat extensive
farmer. He was married to Miss Eliza Jane Lake, daughter of Abraham Lake,
who owned large property in Paterson. His garden then covered the site now
occupied by the Passaic Hotel. Mr. Lake used to cart molasses from New York
to Paterson, but later in life moved to the Pond Oakland where he died.
Eight children were born to Mr. Smith, all of whom are living. Albert G.,
the oldest son, has been Justice of the Peace fourteen years in Campgaw,
N. J., and has been re-elected. Garret G. Smith was born in 1860. He was
educated in the State Normal School, but when twenty-six years of age came
to Allendale where he has followed merchandizing. In 1894 when the borough
of Allendale was formed he was chosen its first collector and was also
elected Clerk of the Board. He became a member and Treasurer of the Board
of Education and was also made secretary of the Board of Health. He is an
influential citizen of the Borough and is frequently called to office.

His wife was Miss Matilda Blauvelt, daughter of Abram A. Blauvelt, who was
deputy sheriff of this county for many years.
