Marie Cecil White Smith (1892-1976) was a longtime resident of Chico, Redding, and finally, Santa Rosa and kept extensive
diaries until 1970 where she recorded her observations and experiences living in California. White Smith was also the older
sister of Lewis Edmund White who studied mechanical engineering at Stanford University from 1913 to 1917 before being drafted
into WWI. An account of this time was recorded in her diaries.
