Can anyone tell me about "Rev. B.F. Smith" mentioned in these obits? Saw a picture of him and his resemblence to my Grandfather, Everett Smith is remarkable. Am looking for information about his family to see if he descends from James and Susanna (Overly) Smith from the Nine Mile Indiana area. Any help would be appreciated.
