MO 28 Feb 1885 and died 13 Apr 1957 in Fairland, Ottawa Co, OK. He married Bertha Frings who was born in Kansas 26 Aug 1905 and the records indicate that after five children, they were divorced-- an unusual thing in those days apparently. All I know about her is that her parents came from Germany (probably around Prussia). The children of WIlliam Franklin Smith and Bertha Frings were:.
