Brown, my great grandmother, who married David Harp Smith in North Dakota in 1905. They moved to Carterville, Missouri around 1906 and had one daughter there, Minnie Annie (aka Mary Frances) Smith (later Van Hee) in April 1907. Minnie was later a boarder at the catholic Academy of Our Lady of Mercy in Joplin, MO from 1917 - 1919 before she and Gertrude moved to Kansas City, MO. David H. Smith died in 1913. Gertrude may have had a sister who lived in NY and may have had a niece named Helen and a nephew named Gus. We hardly have any information on GHBS at all. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
