Arthur MacDonald Smith was born on 21 October 1887 at his parents home at 66 Stirling Street in Airdrie, Scotland. His parents were James Smith, who owned a foundry business in Airdrie, and Eleanor Nevin. Arthur lived with his parents at that address through the 1911 census. At that time Arthur worked as an electrical engineer, likely for his father. He had three older brothers, who were mechanical engineers.
Arthur married Janet Cowie Riddell on 26 June 1914 at the Masonic Hall on Bank Street in Coatbridge. He was still working as an electrical engineer and lived on Victoria Place in Airdrie.
It is not known if Arthur and Janet had children.
Arthur died on 16 August 1965 at the Coathill Hospital in Coatbridge of myocardial infarction, arteriosclerosis, and broncho pneumonia. He was retired at the time of his death and lived with his wife, Janet, at 14 Bellsdyke Road in Airdrie. His widow died four years later.
