Hi Barbara and the rest. What holidays would that be? You mean way back in December of last year? I've been concentrating on my ggrandfather's Civil War records in MO and IA, trying to get a lead that will let me make a more reasonable search here in Owen Co. In case you forgot, or, are new, he was: SMITH, James C., b 31 Jan 1836, Owen Co., KY; d 4 Mar 1899, Arbela, Scotland Co., MO; m(1) 20 Dec 1860, HOLDER, Lucinda, Scotland Co., MO; she died 15 Jan 1870; m(2) 30 May 1870, Scotland Co., MO, YEAGER, Cordelia Mary. He was also a Civil War Veteran; served in Co. F, 1st Missouri Cavalry (USA, I believe). Anyhow, I'm still lurking and reading, so be careful what you say! Regards, Floyd E.
