Girls? What is 'Of Grave Importance' ? Custer-Herron would sure make sense. The other Smiths are buried there - I think I'll go to the site and see who is buried next to this Addie. Thanks a bunch, wouldn't that be something if it were him? Dates match pretty close and I didn't have a clue on his death date. Let me do some exploring and I'll let you know, okay?

Bernie, the book, "Of Grave Importance," published by the Baxter County Historical and Genealogical Society, is a survey of Baxter County cemeteries. But those online, done by Vera and Max, are more current and complete. Peggy
