Her Dad, Theodore Smith, first married my grandmother's mother. She died and he then married his first wife's sister. Their maiden name was Snyder. I do not know of a child named Grace unless she died as an infant or before my time. I do know of the other children, Theodore, Betty, Ruby and Barnium. They were my Dad's age. All of Boyd's children are deceased now. Betty had two children. One son is dead but his son, Travis Trainer, is a police office for Sumner. The other son, Larry Stoltz, 65+ years old is retired and is also living in Sumner. Ruby had one child, Gaylord Bates. I last heard he lived in Tenn but I think he also died. Barnium had several children but they did not live in Sumner when I grew up. I do not know if Theodore had any children although he did raise a step son. The circus story is true. Theodore Smith and his twin brother, Vic came from England. Theodore was a portrait artist and ! set designer. Vic's daughters had an acrobatic and slack wire act under the name of Loretta Sisters. They are now in the Circus Hall of Fame. I am trying to get more information on it. If you have any other questions, I can ask my 84 year old Dad and my 95 year old aunt who grew up with their cousins.
