I am seeking information on the family of Edward Arlington and Ida Jane (White) Smith. Edward was born on 21 March 1873 to Zephaniah and Sarah Jane (Ramshire) Smith and died on 16 December 1935. Ida Jane was born in Butler, MO to my gr-grandparents William Martin and Sarah Ann Beavers on 27 November 1875 and died on 30 May 1978. They were married on 24 Feb. 1897 and are both buried in Smith Cemetery in Bates Co., MO. They were the parents of Donna Ninna Smith who marred William Henry Tharp; Jessee Maud; William Henry Smith who married Ruth Chenoweth; Irene Goldie Smith ( ); Nellie May Smith who married Clifford Hubbard; Roy Edward Smith who married Jennie Louise Haynes; Mary Ida Smith who married Raymond Willie Couch; and Vivian Vesha Smith who married Lawrence E. Floyd. Does anyone have either family or friendship ties with this family? I know that Smith is the most common name in the World but I believe this group of Smith's was once prominent in Butler and the area. Terrill White Surnames I am currently researching: White, Rotramel, Teel, Boswell, Ford
