| Notes |
- Local news item, "Doddridge County Republican," Thursday, Dec 14 1916, in its entirety:
"Chalmer N. and Kenneth M. Smith have opened up a cleaning and pressing shop in connection with their ice cream parlor on Main Street."
It is likely that Chalmers N. Smith was named for the Scottish poet and minister Walter Chalmers Smith.
Walter Chalmers Smith (5 December 1824 - 19 September 1908), was a hymnist, poet and minister of the Free Church of Scotland, chiefly remembered for his hymn "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise".
