They began their family in rural Indiana near Fort Wayne. They had two sons, Everett Alton and James Fredrick. Alvin worked for area farmers delivering milk to the local creamery's in Indiana. In around 1917, the Smith's moved to Burton, Michigan. Alvin had hoped that he and his sons would be able to get work in the new automotive industry as it began to flourish. There were new factories opening every day which supported the growing Flint auto industry. He began working at the GM factory in about 1918. Alvin died on January 25, 1925 while working on the line in the Flint factory.
