Dear Duane, I agree it is bad enough to search for SCOTT'S but I will throw another SMITH into the mix & see what we can come up with. Hannah Susan Scott,b 1852-Atchison Co. Mo, d 1940-Atchison Co, Mo Married-Frederick W. SMITH,b ?, d ?(he disappeared before their son was an adult) They had one son-Earl Scott Smith,b 1885, d 1944 in Calif but buried in Atchison Co, Mo. To make this more interesting-Burlington, Iowa is not that far from Atchison Co, Mo. where the SCOTT'S were a pioneer family to the area. They came from around Indianapolis, Indiana. If anyone can add to the SMITH mystery it would be helpful.
