    1. [INMONROE] Smithville Residents Died

    3. The list noted below was found on a piece of cardboard on the back side of an old framed picture at the Smithville Museum and History Center in Monroe County, Indiana. Although no one on the Smithville Area Association board can say where the picture came from, Rosemary Wisley believes that it compiled by her mother, Grace (Burnworth) Hill. A review of the names suggest that many of the deceased were members of the Smithville Christian Church. Several large group photos of church members exist and may be the photo that is referenced below. The names were written at different times, in different inks and in chronological order as opposed to alphabetical order. The first date noted was in 1959; the last in 1979. Grace Hill died in 1981. As the writing surface was filled, the writing became much smaller until legibility was occasionally difficult. In addition to the death information, it was noted on the frame back that the "church split up Mother's Day, May 8, 1966." According to Rosemary, this is when a split occurred in the Smithville Christian Church. Information noted below in parenthesis was added by me.
