Smillie and Bean was a law practice in Norristown, Pennsylvannia in the 1940s. They handled cases like Carmella Wilson's. Wilson was the wife of soldier seeking a military family allowance. Smillie and Bean's law practice remained open until at least 1946. It appears to have closed sometime after this date.
The Smillie and Bean Legal Correspondence contains legal documents, investigative reports, and correspondence from 1942-1946.
