Memorial plaques honoring the late “Col.” Roy Smith were dedicated Saturday at a ceremony on the lawn of the American Civil War Museum on Gettysburg’s Steinwehr Ave. Smith was a devoted resident of Gettysburg for 16 years and was always ready with a smile for visitors and fellow residents as he sat in front of one of the businesses dressed in his Union Army uniform. His widow, Paulette, is pictured with Kirk Davis, a close friend of Smith’s and emcee of Saturday’s program. The plaques will be placed on benches at the American Civil War Wax Museum, Regimental Quartermaster, Homefront General Store and Hunt’s Battlefield Fries. (Bill Schwartz/Gettysburg Times)
