His mother was Millicent Knapp (1816–1891). His father was physician James William Smith (1810–1887). His parents were in the tenth set of missionaries to Hawaii from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions
who arrived in 1842.
His sister Charlotte Elizabeth "Lottie" Smith (1845–1896) married Alfred Stedman Hartwell
(1836–1912), who was a former general in the American Civil War
, on January 10, 1872.
His brother Jared Knapp Smith (1849–1897) became a physician and carried on his father's medical practice.
His sister Melicent Lena Smith (1854–1943) married William Waterhouse (1852–1942). Waterhouse served as mayor
of Pasadena, California
1904–1906.
He attended Daniel Dole
's missionary school at Kōloa, Punahou School
from 1863 to 1866, and then Massachusetts Agricultural College (now the University of Massachusetts Amherst
). On his return he worked as a clerk in his brother-in-law Hartwell's law office.
He served as sheriff on Kauaʻi in 1870 and then Maui
in 1872 through 1874. While working at the court house in Lāhainā, on April 24, 1873 he planted a banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis
) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the arrival of Christian missionaries on the island.
On March 23, 1876, he married Mary Abbey Hobron. They had five children: Clarence Hobron Smith, Ethel Frances Smith born November 17, 1879, Pauline Melicent Smith, Anna Katherine Smith, and Lorrin Knapp Smith.
He founded the law firm of Smith, Thurston & Kinney with Lorrin A. Thurston
and William Ansel Kinney
in Honolulu in 1887.
from 1878 to 1884. He helped draft the 1887 Constitution of the Kingdom of Hawaii
, which King Kalākaua
was forced to sign, giving it the name "Bayonet Constitution". His law partner Thurston then became minister in the new cabinet.
In the 1887 and 1888 sessions he was elected to the upper House of Nobles.
In 1892 he was elected as representative from Kauaʻi.
that organized the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii on January 14, 1893. On January 17, he was appointed to the executive council (the new cabinet) of the Provisional Government of Hawaii
under president Sanford B. Dole
, the son of his former teacher. Dole's stepmother, Charlotte Close Knapp (1813–1874), was widow of Smith's uncle Horton Owen Knapp (1813–1845), who had been a missionary teacher himself on Kauaʻi.

to have tests that might send them to exile in Kalaupapa. Similar tensions had ignited the Leper War on Kaua'i
four years earlier. His former law partner Kinney sailed to Kauai
island and was appointed special prosecutor. A native Hawaiian suspect Kapea Kaahea was arrested, tried on November 13, 1897, and found guilty of murder in the first degree.
Instead of waiting for next scheduled term of the circuit court, a special session had been called. Honolulu English-language newspapers said "there seems no doubt of the guilt of the chief prisoner" even before the trial. The objections brought to the Supreme Court of Hawaii were quickly rejected on February 3, 1898. Kapea was hanged on April 11, 1898. The rushed nature of the prosecution was thought to be an attempt to show the United States that the government was in firm control. Only a few months later in July 1898, the Newlands Resolution
would annex the islands. Of the four executions for capital punishment between 1889 and 1903 in Hawaii, all four were of non-whites within a four month period.
On March 20, 1899, Smith was replaced as attorney general by Henry Ernest Cooper and returned to private practice. Smith was elected to one term of the Territory of Hawaii
senate from 1907 to 1909.

Estate, the Alexander Young Estate and the Honolulu children's hospital. He was on the board of the Guardian Trust Company, Bishop Trust Company, Inter-Island Steam Navigation company and Alexander & Baldwin
.
Despite his role in the overthrow, deposed Queen Liliuokalani selected him to be a founding trustee of her own estate when she made her will in December 1909.
Her personal assets were left in a trust to benefit orphans.
On November 30, 1915, Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaole
challenged the will in court, saying she was "of weakened mind" under the influence of the trustees. This was known as case 23 Haw. 457 in the Supreme Court of Hawaii. The feisty queen demanded a public hearing of her sanity in February 1916. The firm, now Smith, Warren & Sutton, successfully defended Liliuokalani.
His law partners at the time were Louis J. Warren and Edwin White Sutton.
Liliuokalani's charity still operates today.

His niece Madeline Perry Hartwell married Albert Francis Judd, Jr., son of Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court Albert Francis Judd
