Milo Smith
Dr. Milo Smith (1803–1869) was a very well known physician and owner of the leading medical practice in the early days of Chattanooga as well as mayor of the city in three different decades. He was born at Smith's Cross Roads, now Dayton, Tennessee, in 1807, by William Smith and Elizibeth Cozby. Dr. Milo Smith attended the Philadelphia Medical School where he studied medicine and earned his M.D. He later went on to marry Caroline Lipscomb, daughter of Spotswood and Elizabeth Smith Pendleton Lipscomb, of Grainger County, Tennessee, on July 20, 1833, in Athens, Tennessee. Their daughter, Elizibeth Nisbet Smith, was the first white child born in the city of Chattanooga after its naming and their son, William Spotswood Smith, attended the medical school in Nashville and later worked on the medical staff for Dr. Samuel H. Stout in the Confederate Army. Smith was elected mayor of Chattanooga in 1842 and then again in 1843, making him the first mayor to ever serve two terms both consecutively and all together. He served as mayor again in from 1862 and 1863 until his office was abrogated by the Union Army during the occupation of Chattanooga. In total, Smith was served as mayor for seven individual terms; however, each was only a year long.
== Political career ==
From the year 1839 to 1851, the mayors of Chattanooga were elected, not directly by the people, but instead by a group of elected aldermen who then chose one from amongst themselves to be given the title of mayor. Dr. Milo Smith was awarded the title for the two consecutive years of 1844 and 1845 and was elected again for the consecutive years of 1850-1851. Dr. Smith was elected for a third consecutive year in 1852 when Chattanooga became incorporated and the mayoral elections were decided by popular citizen vote, making Smith the first mayor of the City of Chattanooga rather than the town. Known as the "War Mayor," Smith was elected to office again in 1862 and 1863 after which, on September 9th, 1863, Smith turned over his office to the first Federal Army unit to enter the city as all public offices were abrogated. During the war, especially during the siege of Chattanooga, Dr. Smith was renowned in the city for giving medical aid to Confederate soldiers and their families, as well as Union soldiers when the opportunity arose. This practice mimicked how he ran his personal medical practice before and after the war.
