I do have a couple of questions: What information do you have that makes you certain he's buried in Athena Cemetery? I'm also curious about your Smiths as I'm researching my gggrandfather James Smith, whose son John Lewis Smith is buried in Athena Cemetery (the marker reads simply J. Smith). James was the son of Berryman Smith and Nancy Lopp. Do you find any connection there? Best wishes, Beth Perry Johnston
