John W. Smith - Surfman No. 1


On a family trip to Long Beach, Case and I snuck away for a hike. On our drive up to the trail head, we came across the Oysterville Cemetery. It was a historic small cemetery with many of the pioneers fo the town buried there. I haven't found much on this surfman but still love the headstone. I would love to know how he passed away at the age of 44 years old. Maybe doing what he loved at Ilwaco beach life saving station.
