How nice for you to post this. I was just going over my family history for a reunion this weekend. Helen's father, Ewell Smith, is the son of John L. Smith and Kiziah Gibson. Kiziah is a sister to my 5th great grandfather, James Gibson. I am curious about the questions marks inserted. Would you be so kind as to explain them. I will be printing this to keep with my records and want to be sure to give credit for this information properly. I will use your email address as the source citation unless you tell me different.

I'm not sure why the question marks were added....they should not be in the obit.? I am confused about this obit as they list her mother as Helen Ellison.? Marriage records for Ewel Smith are to Zephra Lawson on 10 Nov 1864, Campbell County, Tenn. (she is a distant cousin of mine)...According to ancestry records, which you can put a question mark to, Ewel Smith's mother was Helen Ellison....1880 Campbell County, Tenn. census has Helen Smith living with Ewel and Zephra.....
