BiographyBorn in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Smith was the son of Fred O. and Josephine Meder Smith, and was educated in Tuttle public schools and attended Oklahoma College of Liberal Arts at Chickasha, Oklahoma. He married Mary Belle Couch, and the couple had three children, Jay, Sarah, and Lee Ann.[1] CareerSmith engaged in farming and cattle raising, and served as member of the board of regents of Oklahoma Four-Year Colleges. Elected as a Republican to the 90th Congress, Smith served from January 3, 1967 to January 3, 1969.[2] He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1968. After a 1967 redistricting plan forced him into running against either fellow Republican Happy Camp or Democrat Tom Steed, he chose to take on Steed, a conservative Democrat from Shawnee. He was defeated by a 54% to 46% tally despite the fact that Nixon won a plurality in the newly drawn district. Nominated by President Nixon to be Administrator of Farmers Home Administration and confirmed by the Senate on March 16, 1969, Smith served until his resignation in 1973.[3] DeathSmith died in a wheat field fire at his farm, near Chickasha, Grady County, Oklahoma, on June 23, 1973 (age 46 years, 335 days). He is interred at Fairlawn Cemetery, Chickasha, Oklahoma.[4] References1. ^Hanneman, Carolyn G. "Smith, James Vernon," Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture, 2009.
