2/26/1909 J. M. Massengale J. M. Massengale died Tuesday at eh home of his son in Sheffield, AL, after suffering bur a few days with bowel trouble. He left here a few weeks past to visit his son, who holds a position with the government on a boat stationed near Sheffield. Mr. Massengale was about 70 years of age. He was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church and was a church worker. He had been a resident of the South Side for years and was well known and liked. He was a pioneer Riverman and piloted some of the first steam freight boats ever to ply the Tennessee River. He remains were brought Thursday to Carpenter, AL, and interred at New Hope. Elder R. O.

Everyone is so welcome. I'm so glad to see it has helped so many. This week as you are taking those pictures of loved ones that have gone, how about taking some extra pictures of the graves next to your loved ones and post them on the county site where you took them. Who knows who it might help. I do this every time I go to a cemetery and post them on <A HREF="www.findagrave.com">www.findagrave.com</A> for all to share. Have a safe and happy long weekend. :) Helen L.

I have an Obit for this person and trying to connect them to my Smith's. Does anyone have more info on this William Smith. I will post the Obit in a few. Got to go workout now. Helen L.

And I was just going to take my info about the Smith's and discard the rest. Shame on me. :) I'm so glad it has helped so many so far and just two little pages I copied because I saw the SMITH name on it. Helen L.

I do know that there are a lot of the Miller, Raulston and Bean families in Claiborne and Campbell Co, TN, where my great-grandfather Ransom Smith came from before he moved to Marion Co, TN. Might be a place to look too. Helen L.

Great idea Helen plus we are in the process of posting some pictures on our web site ,that were so generously donated to us by Mary Alice of Orme Cemetery Betty

Helen thanks to you it seems we might have more than one bingo even :-) LOL Never know when these wonderful ancestors of ours will show up or how they will choose to make themselves known. :-) Every one might want to keep in mind how many times the boundaries of the county lines have changed over the years. -- It never hurts to check the surrounding areas around the county either. Hope every one has a safe and sane Decoration Day Holiday or as it is called now days, Memorial Days. Wouldn't it be a nice idea to take an extra posy along with you to decorate a grave that all the relatives have moved out of the area, and can't get home, or that all the descendants have disappeared from the area. I am sure it would probably be appreciated. Neat idea maybe to report back to the list the name on the grave you decorated too???????? think???? Might just be some ones long lost relative they can't find?? Betty

Thanks so much for writing. I don't know of a Caroline Allison but I don't know the names of the later Allisons of Dade Co., GA. Have you looked in Jackson Co., AL for the Allisons because they settled down there very early? If you find out more, let me know. Where in Marion Co., or Dade Co. did your William live? My husband has William J. Smith born 1847 GA who married Sarah Head and they lived in the Battle Creek area. Thanks again. Marilyn

Marilyn: Do you have a Caroline Louisa Allison in your line? If so, I have a Caroline Louisa with unknown madien name who married a William H. Smith in Marion Co. abt. 1858. Someone in the family thought her maiden name was Allison, but I've never been able to confirm that. Donna O'Brien

Would anyone have information about John Smith who bought land that was located at Indian Fork and the Little Sequatchie River in 1828 in Marion Co., TN? Walter Coppinger and wife Rachel Tussey also settled in this area and Walter was the son of Higgins Coppinger (Rev. War Soldier-VA) and his wife Anna Smith who settled in Sullivan Co., TN by 1796. I wonder if John Smith is related to the Coppingers ? Thanks much. Marilyn B. Garner

Would any of the Smith or Blevins of Marion Co., TN and Dade Co., GA be connected to the Allison family? Thanks much. Marilyn Burnett Garner

Marilyn, I have no ALLISONs listed with the information I have. Sorry.

Married into Pickens/Miller/Raulston/Bean families in TN, some early in Marion Co. Thanks in advance. Aileen Watson in WA
