Mary Louise Smith could definitely be considered notable enough for a Wikipedia article because many independent sources can be found about her. The American National Biography’s page on Smith is very extensive and has the needed significant coverage that Wikipedia article topic should have. This is also a secondary source that is reliable. A less extensive source, but also reliable and secondary, is an article from the LA Times. Of course there is also the biography from the Iowa Women's Archives which also meets the criteria for a good source.
