Notes |
- From a genealogy of the Hull family, source unknown:
. . . Hon. Hoke Smith . . . was for more than forty years one of the most prominent statesmen not only of Georgia, but also of the nation. The career of Hon. Hoke Smith is well covered in contemporary biographical literature, and is too long to be given at great length here. He practised law in Atlanta for a number of years, and after having become one of the leading figures of his community was by President Cleveland appointed Secretary of the Interior; this latter post he held and ably filled from 1893 to 1896. From 1907 to 1911 he was governor of Georgia. In 1911 he became United States Senator from Georgia; he remained in the Senate for ten years, becoming one of the most respected and influential members of that body, achieving a high reputation as an orator, and taking a leading part in the settlement of the vexing questions arising out of the World War.
