Thanks Loretta, I haven't "dug" into the Smith side of this marriage, and I don't have any information on this Walter. A little more info is that the these two moved to Springfield, Ill. after earning law degrees at The University of Illinois in Champagne. Also, the Smith family attended the First Baptist Church in Murphysboro. If there is more one I don't know which. That's as much as I know at this point.

He is the son of George Washington Smith and Margaret Ellen May. My Walter goes by his middle name, his first name being William. He also had a son by the name of Delbert W. that I know nothing about. Does any of this ring a bell? Loretta Smith St. Louis, MO
