Raymond Otto Smithgall (5/12/1916 - 2/22/1998)
Raymond Otto Smithgall, a long-time resident of Canton
died unexpectedly on Sunday, Feb. 22, 1998 at the Williamsport Hospital.
He was 81 years of age. Born May 12, 1916 in Geneva, N.Y., Ray was the
eldest son, one of ten children in the family of Otto R. and Ina (Callahan)
Smithgall. The family relocated to Tioga County, Pa. where Ray attended
Wellsboro High School, graduating with the class of 1935. In the years
preceding the Second World War he enlisted in the Army Air Corps and attended
the Aviation Ground School in Elmira. Mr. Smithgall served his country
during the ensuing war as an Air Corps navigator.; However, during this
period not everything was tumult and strife for him. One shining aspect
of his life was his courtship with Dorothy Mott; they were united in holy
matrimony on June 27, 1942. After the war, the Smithgalls raised their
family in Canton and Ray became active as a community volunteer. He
served on the zoning board as well as the Canton Borough Authority and Shade
Tree Commission. For nearly three decades he was employed as a postal
worker, retiring from the Canton Post Office in the mid 1970s. Mr.
Smithgall was a man who gave of himself, whose kindness knew no bounds.
This was evident by his involvement in many charitable organizations. Ray
was a life member of Canton Lodge #415 Free and Accepted Masons, serving as the
treasurer, the Bradford County Shrine Club, a life member of the Ancient
Accepted Scottish Rite Consistory of the Valley of Williamsport, the Irem
Temple AAONMS Canton Lodge #429 Loyal Order of Moose, Canton Rotary Club and
the Troy American Legion Post #49, all of which are widely recognized for their
generosity to humanitarian causes. Mr. Smithgall also had a lifelong
relationship with his Lord and served for many years as an Elder in the former
First Presbyterian Church of Canton. When that congregation was absorbed
into the Canton Ecumenical Parish, he served as a member of the Administrative
Board. Ray was also a familiar figure at the Men’s Christian Fellowship
Breakfast at Our House Restaurant for many years. Ray liked to collect
modes of antique and classic cars and was an avid rail fan. He loved to
reminisce about the days when steam ruled the rails and told stories of the
times he’d hitch a ride to Elmira so that he could ride the midnight train back
home. Mr. Smithgall was a man devoted to his family, a loving husband,
father and grandfather. He will be greatly missed by loved ones and his
community as well. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Dorothy at
home; his eldest son, Scott and wife, Julianne Smithgall of Wellsboro; his son,
Thomas and wife, Barbara Smithgall of Lancaster; his daughter, Mary Beth and
husband, Thomas Schoonover of Canton; grandchildren, Maren and Cameron
Smithgall of Wellsboro, Emily and Ian Smithgall of Lancaster, Eric and Lauren
Schoonover of Canton. He is also survived by brothers, Kenneth Smithgall
of Leesburg, Fla., Frederick, Robert and Donald Smithgall, all of Wellsboro;
sisters, Dorothy Morgan of Williamsport, Betty Jean Beck and Katherine Sease,
both of Wellsboro. He was predeceased by a brother, William Smithgall and
a sister, Clarabell Bowen. A memorial service will be held at the Canton
Ecumenical Parish, 43 N. Center St., Canton, Saturday, Feb. 28 at 11:30 a.m.
with the Rev. Nancy Lee Goff, his pastor officiating. A Masonic service
will proceed at 11:15, conducted by Canton Lodge #415 F and AM. Interment
will be at the convenience of the family. Memorials may be directed to
the Green Free Library of Canton and the Canton Ecumenical Parish.
