He wants to know something about the people buried there. The one name he sent me was Capt. Robert W. Smith 8th Miss. Cav. 1863. He actually was Capt. of Co. D Smith's Co. I located his wife in Grand Junction TN cemetery: Smith, Dorothy Ann 23 Nov 1818-17 May 1903 w/o Capt. Robert W. Smith. Also buried there is: Smith, Col. J.W. 5 May 1842-2 Dec 1909. He applied for pension in Hardeman Co. and his wife later applied for a widows pension. I believe this is she: Smith, Elizabeth T. 11 Nov 1846-22 Jul 1911. Is anyone researching this Smith family? I would love to have obituaries for them and also the pension applications. Thanks for any help. Fred
