From: Douglas Smathers <smathedr@yahoo.com> Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2003 22:46:38 -0800 (PST) Nena, this my direct line from William Smither. i have put some stuff in BOLD, for things i have seen nobody has. I have been trying to find stones from Jacob Smithers b 1800 m Maria Mohney but have been running out of day light some days trying to find the small cemetery on my days off. also trying to find his son Franklin. on his dc it says he is buried in Oakfield Cemetery in Perry Co OH. this is not too far from our house and he isnt in there. i have spent days there rubbing old stones with shaving cream and cleaning them to read.(by the way if you didnt know that works, but you may have to let the cream sit on the stone for a day) but Franklin and Sarah are not in there--however their son Thomas Lee Smathers b Sept 02, 1881 and Ada Burgess is there. (if you have anyone that is a BURGESS let me know--Ada C Burgess is a ghost for me, on five of her kids bc Ada list five different birth places.) about this DNA thingy, i think i can do it.
