Hi girls A little behind on the responses, aren't I? Peggy was right on - I sure wish that she was my Dollie Smith - but, mine was born in 1886 and the Dollie that was married to Hornbuckle was born in 1880. My Dollie was the oldest child of Nannie Sinor and Tom Smith and a sister to my grandfather; Sherman Lee Smith. The family was found living in the Barren Creek Township in 1900: 13 June 1900 Baxter Co., Arkansas census, Barren Creek Township: SMITH, Thomas J. head W M Apr 1866 34 md/13 yrs MO TN AR farmer can read & write Owns free farm #114/114 Nancy wife W F Sept 1864 35 md/13 yrs 6/5 AR TN TN can read & write Dollie daughter W F May 1886 14 single AR MO AR Sherman son W M Sept 1888 12 single AR MO AR Monroe son W M June 1889 11 single AR MO AR (marked out and has died) Louis son W M June 1896 3 single Ind Terr MO AR Willie son W M June 1898 2 single Ind Terr MO AR Marvil son W M Feb 1899 1 single AR MO AR When I first started researching my Dollie Smith - I had various vintage photographs of her, her husband whom my Mother and Father always referred to as Cooney Rust. Lastly, I had a photograph of Mr. Rust's gravemarker. I was able to see the dates: November 27, 1887 - August 25, 1935. We do not know where Conrad Rust is buried; but have narrowed it to Savannah, Georgia or Baltimore, Maryland. Besides living with her birth family; the first record that I have of Dollie is this: 15 April 1910 Pulaski Co., Arkansas census, Little Rock, Big Rock Township, household #6/6, Markham Street: LEONARD, May head F W 30 md/1 15 yrs 1/1 MT MO MO keeper/rooming house MITCHELL, Ruby boarder F W 24 md/1 3 yrs 0/0 IL US ENG SMITH, Dollie boarder F W 23 md/1 1 (?) yrs 1/0 OK OK OK JOHNSON, Elsie boarder F W 16 single US US US CARROLL (?), Hildie boarder F W 23 md/1 6 yrs 0/0 NC NC NC MOON, Lillian boarder F W 19 md/1 3 yrs 1/0 AR AR AR Now, the best that I could transcribe this census record; it reveals that Dollie has had a child and that child is no longer living. It may well be that Dollie gave birth and gave the child up. Dollie was a call girl, folks and the 1910 Little Rock census above shows her living in a house of ill repute. I know of no children that Dollie ever had; so I was surprised when I saw this. But, it does say that she is married and has been for one year? I "assume" that Dollie and Conrad Rust were married. No record has been found, though and if I had to guess; I would say that they probably met in Little Rock? 08 June 1900 Pulaski Co., Arkansas census, Big Rock Township, city of Little Rock, Cumberland Street: RUST, Andrew head W M Nov 1852 47 md/25 yrs Germany Germany Germany migrated in 1882/18 yrs teacher of languages #234/265 Bertha wife W F Oct 1858 41 md/25 yrs 13/9 Germany Germany Germany migrated in 1882/18 yrs Tillie daughter W F Feb 1877 23 single Germany Germany Germany migrated in 1882/18 yrs clerk confectionary Oscar son W M June 1880 19 single Germany Germany Germany migrated in 1882/18 yrs laborer-hardware Louis son W M Apr 1883 18 single Germany Germany Germany migrated in 1882/18 yrs laborer-hardware Conrad son W M Nov 1888 11 single IL Germany Germany George son W M Nov 1890 9 single IL Germany Germany Aloyse son W M Jan 1893 7 single AR Germany Germany Rumueld son W M Jan 1895 5 single AR Germany Germany Leo son W M Feb 1897 3 single AR Germany Germany 19 January 1920 Tulsa Co., Oklahoma census, Sand Springs Township: RUST, Conrad P. head M W 32 married IL Germany Germany Supt in oil refinery #93/93 Dollie wife F W 33 married AR AR AR 09 April 1930 Baltimore Co., Maryland census, Independent City, Pataps Avenue, Block #297, 25th Ward, Palaps W.

As you might could imagine; I have amazing stories of her and her life. At some point she did remarry there in the Tulsa area to a fellow Indian; Eston Brackett and she is buried with his name and next to him at the Woodland Memorial Park Cemetery; in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. She passed away in 1951. A few years ago a Brackett descendant interviewed Dollie's stepson; who by this time was quite elderly and living in nearby Broken Arrow. Sonny Brackett said that he was raised by Dollie and had fond memories of her. A woman of few words, he said. Sure makes you wonder about our ancestors, doesn't it? "I have Indian blood in me. I have just enough White blood for you to question my honesty." ........Will Rogers ----- Original Message ----- From: <marybelle72653@yahoo.com> To: <ARBAXTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 10:04 AM Subject: [ARBAXTER] Hornbuckle-Smith (Bernie) > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4U.2ADI/2031 > > Message Board Post: > > Bernie, > > Is the following Smith-the dau of Thomas Smith and Nancy Sinor ? > > HMD Vol 1 page 2 Mar 7 1902 Friday issue; > > " Albert C.
