A fact from Frederic L. Smith appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 December 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the quarterbacks for the Michigan Wolverines football teams of the 19th century included a Brigadier General decorated for valor in World War I, the brother of a famous novelist, one of the founders of General Motors, the physician at a Kimberly-Clark mill, the son of the Governor of Wyoming, a steamboat builder, a Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias (pictured) and a sheep rancher from Walla Walla?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/December.

Did this man have anything to do with General Motors or did he just work for Olds before the 1908 takeover? Eddaido (talk) 23:14, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

His obituary in the Los Angeles Times described him as "one of the founders of General Motors Corp." Cbl62 (talk) 23:22, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
