Clyde V. Smith, 92, of Geneva died Monday, Nov. 27, 2006 at Memorial Hospice in the Pines at Lufkin. Funeral services are tentatively set for 2 p.m. today (Wednesday) at the chapel of Starr Funeral Home Inc. in Hemphill. Interment will follow at Myrtle Spring Cemetery in Geneva. Memorials may be made to Hospice in the Pines Inpatient at 116 Raguet St., Lufkin, TX 75904.
From FindAGrave:
Clyde, of Geneva, was born to Eugene and Prince Anna Dorsey Smith.
He passed from this earth at Memorial Hospice in the Pine following a brief illness.
Survivors include his daughter, Alice Blackmon and husband, Jerry; son, Bobby Smith and wife, June; three grandchildren, Debra Peterson, Bridgett Jones Brilye and Clint Smith and seven great grandchildren; sister, Iva Belle; brother, Hugh Smith and wife, Eura Mae.
Preceding him in death was his wife of fifty seven years, Rosa Lee Conner Smith and son, Clyde Raymon Smith.
Dr. C.F. Smith, veteran Sabine County physician, celebrated his 91st birthday at his home in Hemphill Sunday, March 25, 1962 with members of his family, other relatives and friends. "Dr. Frank," as he is affectionately known, was born on March 25, 1871 at Fairmount, Sabine County, the son of Dr. John Wesley Smith and Caroline Smith (first cousins). Dr. John Wesley Smith had practiced medicine for 52 years prior to his death at the age of 79 in 1923.
Dr. Frank practiced medicine for 60 years before his retirement about three years ago. He began his practice in the Fairdale community in 1899, later establishing offices above Hemphill Drug Company in Hemphill. In the past years, Dr. Frank hasn't been as active as in previous years and folks "around the square" in Hemphill have missed his warm smile and friendly greeting. However, he was able to attend the recent meeting of Littleton Fowler Masonic Lodge.
Recalling his early days as a practicing doctor in an interview last year, Dr. Frank said, "The first 17 years of my practice of medicine was during the horse and buggy days, only mine was mostly "horseback." I have saddled my horse many times in all kinds of weather, put on slickers and overcoats in rainy and cold weather, stretched an umbrella, put my lantern on the bend of my elbow, sometimes not returning for a day or more. I recall one time my horse got scared of the stretched umbrella, threw me and medicine in every direction, but usually I managed to keep gentle horses."
"One time I was called across the Sabine River in Louisiana in a somewhat rowdy vicinity. The ferry was bad and the river was high so I was forced to spend the night. When I went to bed, I slipped my pocketbook under my pillow, thinking it would be safer there. The next morning when I was about a mile away on my way back home, heard someone behind me calling. The man was bringing me my purse, which I had forgotten and left under the pillow."
Dr. Frank says the Model T was warmly welcomed by the doctors and helped to ease their heavy load, even though the times were many when a team of good horses or mules were necessary to pull you and the Model T and later Model A's from the mud holes or deep sand. It was still years before modern highways were constructed.
In February 1896, Dr. Smith was married to Eva Clementine McDaniel, who is now deceased. She was the daughter William (Bill) Watson and Zerowine Joan Smith McDaniel. The McDaniel family came to Texas in 1850 from Spartenburg, South Carolina after stopping for awhile in Itawomba County, Mississippi. There were five children born to this marriage, four of whom are still living. Dr. and Mrs. Smith also raised a foster son, Jack McDaniel of Port Arthur. The children are Mrs. Bertha Peveto of Beaumont, Mrs. Edna (Ted) Barbee of Crockett, Mrs. Sadye Nelsen of Kirbyville, and Robert Earl Smith of Hemphill.

Dorothy Ruth Tuttle was born on January 5, 1925 to Edward and Anna (Capek) Smith on the farm near Milligan, Nebraska. She attended country school District 96 and graduated from Milligan High School in 1942. Dorothy was united in marriage to Carl Tuttle on October 3, 1942 in Papillion, NE. They lived in Lincoln for a short time before returning to the Friend area where they crop and dairy farmed for over 40 years. For many years she taught Sunday School at Friend Gospel Tabernacle as well as being active in the Ladies' Missionary Circle. In 1982 they moved into Friend. Dorothy worked at Warren Memorial Hospital in the laundry, housekeeping, and activities departments for the next 20 years. She was also a member of the Warren Memorial Hospital Auxiliary.

As a woman who cared about family, she took pride in chronicling the family genealogy through past pictures, letters, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, and reunions. She diligently cared for her ever-growing flowerbeds and took great pleasure in hearing that others admired them as well. Ultimately, she will be remembered for her strong faith, steadfast prayer, and her love for the Lord and her family.

Odessa-This Monday morning Miss Edith Smith, living half a mile south of the Center, was burned in a frightful manner. It seems some meat had been left in the oven over night, and not knowing or thinking of it, she was getting breakfast with the oven shut up. Smelling something, she opened the door, and the flames burst out, striking her so as to burn all the upper portion of her dress entirely off. Her arms, hands, face and hair also suffered severely. She had been away all the season at work and had just came home on account of the illness of her mother. (Courtesy of John R. Waite jrwgen@mvcc.com) LaVonne Bennett notes this might have been another Edith Smith, as she has in her files an Edith Smith Ousterhout born 1861)
LaVonne Bennett found both this snippet of news in the Lake Odessa Wave newspaper:
March 6, 1930 - Woodland - Mrs. William Snyder of Blanchard is helping care for her brother, Frank Smith, who is ill. (Blanchard is in Isabella County. According to census records, Edith Smith and her husband William Snyder lived in Rolland Township, Isabella County, for many years).

All Things Historical by Bob Bowman
Edward Smith deserves his own place in history. Born in Vernon Parish, LA, in 1845 he moved to Newton County, Texas with his parents as a small boy. When he reached 18, he enlisted in the Confederate Army to fight in the Civil War. When federal naval forces approached the Texas coast, Smith and others in his company pushed through the East Texas swamps to reinforce Lieutenant Dick Dowling and his Texas forces at Sabine Pass. With only 40 men, they helped beat back an invasion by federal troops. The battle, the only one ever fought on East Texas soil, saw Smith, Dowling and fellow soldiers outnumbered 100 to one. Despite overwhelming odds, the Texans had no deaths or injuries while the federal force of 27 ships had about 400 mend injured, captured or killed. The Texans were so fierce that the battle lasted only 45 minutes. Following the end of the Civil War, Edward Smith came home to Fairmount, served as its postmaster for 25 years, and became a Baptist preacher. He and his wife and many of their 13 children are buried in the Fairmount cemetery. So are his parents and his wife's mother. His descendants have another story of his bravery. Edward and his dogs were cornered by a bear in the woods near his home. Edward scrambled up a tree and when the bear started climbing after him, Edward whipped otu his pocketknife and slashed the bear's head and paws, while to dogs nipped at the bear's heels. After the dogs started to chase the bear, Edward was able to climb down and run home.

"...the first documented burial (at Fairmount Cemetery) was that of Eli Elijah Smith in 1874. He was a son of Edward and Mary Jane Smith...oral history states that Eli Elijah Smith was buried on family land that later became part of what is the present day Fairmont Cemetery. Loss of early records prevents substantiation, but it is believed that the initial parcel of property was donated by Edward CLARK."
Per "1850 Census Sabine County, Texas with Added Family Information and Corrections," Eli N. Smith owned 3 slaves. Schluter and Toole show him as the second husband of Zeolutus Margaret Ann Boyd Harvey Smith. FindAGrave instead shows her second husband as Redden F. Smith, a son of Eli and Rachel Smith--which is most likely incorrect due to the age difference.

Elisha Smith, (1705-84), turned out with the minute men from Whately at the Lexington Alarm. [p.335] Philip Smith, (1730-1806), served as a private in Capt. Salmon White's company, 1777. He was born and died in Whately, Mass. Also No. 16053.
Notes for SARAH SMITH: For her parentage and her date of birth we are indebted to Daniel W. Wells of Hatfield.
His tombstone shows he died 30 Oct 1789. Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988 records Elisha Smith's death as 7 Nov 1784 at age 80. This tombstone stands next to his wife Sarah's tombstone.
Elisha was the son of Jonathan Smith and his wife Abigail Kellogg. He married Sarah Smith, daughter of Rev. Joseph Smith and his wife Canada Waite in 1727.
Richard Leur emailed on 8 Dec 2012, that Elisha Hamilton Smith was born 30 Mar 1831 in San Augustine, TX and died 9 Jan 1908 in Victoria, TX. He married Mary Catherine ROSELL in Victoria on 2 Feb 1860.
Her maiden name is shown by some as CHILEAB, and this error probably occurred in one of the early genealogies of this family because they named one of their sons Chileab and then the error has been passed on through the years in subsequent genealogies.

THE WIFE OF LT. SAMUEL SMITH OF WETHERSFIELD
By Paul W. Prindle, B.S., of New York, N.Y.
The wife of Lieutenant Samuel Smith of Wethersfield, Connecticut., has often been named erroneously as Elizabeth Chileab. The following article appeared in abbreviated form in "The Hartford Times, " 8 Jan 1956.
About one year after their arrival from England, Lt. Samuel Smith's wife gave birth to a son,1 to whom they gave the unusual name of Chileab. Someone, possibly Stiles (he must at least be charged with responsibility for passing on the fiction in his "History of Ancient Wethersfield 2:646), assumed that this unusual name must have been the surname of the mother.
It is unfortunate that Stiles failed to consult his Bible concordance. Had he done so, he would have learned that Lt. Smith, a devout man who made a bequest of a Bible in his will to each of his grandchildren gave biblical names to each one of his other sons, - Samuel, Philip and John, - and Chileab was no exception; the original Chileab was the son of King David by
Abigail (II Samuel, 111;3). According to Rev. William Jenks, "Comprehensive Commentary on the Holy Bible" (1836), Chileab signifies "like his father, or the father's picture." Due to the unusual circumstances of Chileab"s birth, Abigail being the lawful wife of Nabal the Carmelite, we may reasonable ascribe the touching choice of the babe's name to Abigail rather than to David. In any event in the 7 Oct. 1929 issue of "The Boston Evening Transcript," one C.D.A. wrote, in answer to query 8072-15. If Lieutenant Smith had named the child Chedorlaomer, Jaazaniah, Yephibosneth, or Maher-shalal-hash-baz ( all biblical masculine names), there would have been as much ground for assuming the selected name was the family name of Elizabeth as there was that it was Chileab.
The identity of Elizabeth, wife of Lt. Samuel Smith, has been determined within the bounds of probability acceptable to careful genealogists. As long ago as 14 Aug 1943, the late Dr. Ray G.Hulbert, in his answer to query A-2442-(6) in "The Hartford Times," gave the facts, which have been repeated on a number of occasions, once at least by the present contributor. Nevertheless, to bring all the known facts together, perhaps for the first time the following account is presented to lay the ghost of Elizabeth Chileab.
The parish registers of St. Margarets's, Whatfield, Co.,Suffolk, England, show the Oct 6, 1624 marriage of Samuel Smyth to Elizabeth Smyth, and the baptism of their son Samuel on Feb 8, 1625 (1625/6?). The young couple next appear at Hadleigh, co. Suffolk, three miles south of Whatfield where, at the church of St. Mary the Virgin, they baptized Elizabeth on Jan 28, 1627 (probably New Style); Mary, Oct. 9, 1628 and Philip, November1632. The Smith, Smyth, Smithe (all interchangeable, of course) family embarked "the last of Aprill, 1634, for New England, in the "Elizabeth," from Ipswich, Mr. Wm. Andrews, "Master" (New England Hist. and Gen. Register, 14:329; Hotten' s "Original Lists," pp. 280, 282; Pope's "Pioneers of Massachusetts"; James William Hook , "Lieut. Samuel Smith (1953), p. 1.The ship's list shows the following ages for the members of the Smith family:"Samuell Smithe,"; 32; "Elizabeth his wife," 32; and children of "Sam. Smith:" Samuel, 9; Elizabeth, 7; Mary, 4; Philip, 1. The ages of the children Samuel, Elizabeth, and Philip exactly correspond with their respective dates of baptism. Mary, however, was 5, not 4. Actually, this record represents a high degree of accuracy. Most ages taken from ships' lists (and from gravestones and census records as well) are questionable unless confirmed by other contemporary records.
There remains little room for doubt that the baptismal records shown above taken from the parish registers in Whatfield and Hadleigh, are of the children who sailed on the "Elizabeth" from Ipswich only ten miles east of Hadleigh, co. Suffolk and that Elizabeth, wife of Lt.Samuel Smith, was a Smith before her marriage.
Her surname has been identified as Smith(or Smyth) from parish registers of St.Margaret's, Whatfield, Co. Suffolk where her marriage to Samuel is recorded. Earlier resources indicating her surname to have been "Chileab" have been refuted. NEHGR Vol.174. A series of articles published in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register published in the Winter, Spring, and Summer of 2020 outline an extensive search of records in Suffolk, England. A review of wills establishes the parentage of Elizabeth as Philip Smith and Ann (Grymwade) Smith.
Church records indicate she was baptized 22 Jul 1599 in Erwarton, Suffolk, England.
Children: Samuel Smith Jr, Elizabeth Smith Foote Gull, Mary Smith Graves, Philip Smith, Philip Smith, Chileab Smith, and John Smith.
Kathy Casagranda thinks she might be from the Easley family.William Everheart believes she is from the Smith Family of Sabine County, Texas. Scott Watkins (firedogger@gmail.com) also believes she is from Smith Family. He states that her parents were John E. and Mary Smith, the parents of three sons and one daughter. He notes that Green Berry Watkins, John E Smith, and Alfred L. Watkins are all documented having sold each other deeds of land in Louisiana. Scott further points out at that the time of the 1850 Sabine County, Texas census, the widowed Mary Smith, age 77, was living with her son, William D. Smith and his family. William was also widowed.
The 1870 census shows her as being born in Tennessee versus North Carolina.

The following obituary was emailed to me by LaVonne Bennett "LAKE ODESSA (MI) WAVE, Thursday, May 2, 1946, front page "ELMER SMITH DIED MONDAY---Funeral services were held at the Pickens chapel here Wednesday afternoon for the late Elmer Smith, 80, who died Monday Morning at his home in Charlotte. He was a half brother of Marcus Chapman who survives. Also surviving are several nieces and nephews. Mr. Smith, a former resident here, was born in Odessa township. The Rev. William B. Patterson officiated at the services, and burial was in Lakeside cemetery." His death certificate showed that he had spent 5 yrs in the Eaton Co. Infirmary.
LaVonne later emailed the following news item to me:
"While at the Saranac Library doing research today, I found: SARANAC ADVERTISER, MI, 9-19-1912: "Local News - Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Smith were in Ionia Monday."
It ain't much but it's evidence they lived a real life. Saranac's a very small town north of Lake Odessa, 5 mi west of city of Ionia, so I hope this is your Elmer..."
This might be another Elmer Smith, however, as no marriage record has yet been found. Additionally, it is noted on his death certificate that he was single, not widowed.
Kay Parker McCary, on her annotated transcription of Sabine County's Myrtle Spring's cemetery, shows that his tombstone was inscribed:

This appears to be Forrest, living with his mother and stepfather, at the time of the 1920 Federal Census.

This was the listing for the ROSZEL family of Grand Rapids ten years earlier, at the time of the 1910 Census. Forrest SMITH was not in the ROSZEL home at the time of the 1910 census, he was instead listed in home of his father, Franklin Smith of Barry County.

There were several Forrest Smith's approximately the same age as Franklin's son, all with Social Security cards issued in Michigan, on the SSDI at Rootsweb. After ordering the actual Forms SS-5, none of those listed appear to fit into this family.
(1) Forrest Allan Smith, born 27 November 1897 in Waterloo, DeKalb County, Indiana to Charles H. SMITH and Millie ALLAN. He was married to Catherine Margaret GILLIES.
(2) Forrest Allen Smith born 28 April 1892 in Dayton, Ohio to Alonzo SMITH and Mary Ann SCHAFER.
(3) Forrest DeWitt Smith, born 21 August 1899 in Shay, Washington Co, Ohio, to Cuyler Charles SMITH and Sarah Bell McABEE.
At the 1900 Census, he was living in Odessa Township with his wife, Mary, who was born in January 1874, in Ohio. Her mother was born in Pennsylvania and her father born in Ohio. There were no children listed in the household, although the census indicated that they had been married six years, and that Mary was the mother of one living child.
Franklin's occupation was listed as carpenter. He and his wife divorced prior to 1910. At the time of that census, Franklin was living in Woodland, Barry County with his widowed mother and his sister, Gertrude, along with a 14 year old Forrest Smith. It appears that Forrest was his one. At the time of the 1920 census, he and his sister Gertrude were still living together in Woodland. Forrest appeared to be living with his mother in in Grand Rapids.
News items from Lake Odessa Wave newspaper 3-06-1930 - Woodland - Mrs. William Snyder of Blanchard is helping care for her brother, Frank Smith, who is ill.
Liber C, page 242: SMITH, Frank W. died 3-8-1930 in the village of Woodland, MI, of a cerebral hemmorhage. He was 66 years, 10 mo, 20 days of age, a carpenter. He was a divorced widower. His parents were given as Morris SMITH of NY and Cynthia CARLETON of ME.
(Email from LaVonne Bennett on 14 Feb 2001 detailing the results of her visit to the Barry County Courthouse in Hastings, Michigan).
It is POSSIBLE that he remarried before he died, as LaVonne Bennett found the following:
I ran across this today while looking for a client's newspaper obits: "THE LAKE ODESSA WAVE, MI, Thursday, December 6, 1928, front page: "MRS. FRANK SMITH PASSES - Mrs. Frank E. Smith of near Woodbury died last Sunday morning after a long illness. The funeral was held Tuesday at two o'clock at the Lutheran church. Burial was at Lake Side cemetery. Mrs. Smith was a sister-in-law of Mrs. Levi Deeg of this village."

An Altoona youth, Seaman Frederick Thomas Smith, aged 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Smith of 1012 Third avenue, was serving aboard the U.S.S.

Q. M. 3/c Frederick T. Smith
Quartermaster Third Class Frederick Thomas Smith, aged 20, has been declared dead, after having been continued in the status of "missing in action" since the sinking of the U. S. S. minesweeper Portent int he Mediterranean area on Jan. 22, 1944, according to a letter from the navy department received yestrday by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Smith.
The Portent was sunk by an underwater explosion while patrolling off the beachhead at Anzio, Italy. Many ships and small craft were in the vicinity at the time of the explosion and quickly came to the rescue of the survivors. The navy department letter reads: "Your son was reported seen aboard the ship shortly before the explosion occured. To date no information had been received which establishes the fact that he survived the explosion. In view of the lenght of time that has elapsed and the strong probability that your son lost his life followint the explosion, the secretary of the navy has directed that his death be presumed to have occurred on Jan. 23, 1945, which is the day following the expiration of twelve months in the missing status."
The young sailor's family was notified on Feb. 4 that he was missing, the information being published in the Altoona Mirror on Feb. 5. Frederick was born on Aug. 18, 1923, at Trenton, N. J., a son of John and Rose (Kwapil) Smith and came to Altoona nineteen years ago with his parents. He was graduated from Altoona High school in the class of 1940, was keenly interested in and an expert at swimming, as well as active in the student craftsman organization at the High School.

At the time of the 1900 census, Taylor was a Farm Laborer and living with his new bride. They lived next door to G.C Smith (age 45) and his wife Alice (age 41), Ida Smith (age 17) and Ella Smith (age 11). I believe that G.C. and Alice were the parents of Taylor. At the time of the 1880 Sabine census, the family appeared as follows:
