I will be there this Memorial Day and will take pics for you. There are several Goldsmith family graves, all in a row in Dongola Cem. My Grandfather William Wiley Elliott always cleaned the Goldsmith graves every year. I never ask him what our connection was, if any. I do know the Elliotts and Goldsmiths came from Hardin Co. Tn. I now try to put a flower on each of these graves in memory of my Grandfather. Please send me your reg. address for me to mail pics.

I wanted to comment on the $100.00 surity bond on the marriage license---that had to be put up to assure the family that the bride would not come back to live with her family during the first year of marriage. The black people had to put up a bond of $500.00. Just my 2cents worth today!!
