Frederick W. Smith (physician)

Frederick Walter Smith, who lived from 24 August 1858 to 31 July 1917, was an American physician and surgeon in Syracuse, New York. By 1897 he was serving as Health Commissioner for the city of Syracuse, and in June 1902 he was appointed health officer of the city. He also served as coroner of Onondaga County, New York. He died on 31 July 1917 at the age of 58. His source lead is short and describes his public offices more than his clinical work, so this entry records his medical profession, his city and county posts and his dates, and nothing about particular operations or discoveries that the lead does not state.
