About my Hill Co. family.... Let's see I think the first relatives I had there were Isaac Robert and Ella Mae Smith, they would be my great grandparents. I believe Isaac is buried in the Hillsboro Cem. not sure though. He died in 1950 I believe. There children were born in Oklahoma before this, at least I know some were. My grandfather is Lester Smith he just moved from Itasca (could be Osceola spelling not sure about) into Hillsboro. I think it was out on Rt 4, but I'll have to check. I know I remember there being a little gas station called Cordell's a little ways up the road. He owned land out on My father was born in Fort Worth but went to at least High School in Itasca his name is David Smith and he has an older brother Tommy Lee Smith. Lester and my grandmother divorced before he moved out there but he married a Ruby Daniels and his third wife was Thera Williams who passed not to long ago. I have an great aunt who lives down that way also named Mae, I'll have to get her married name. Lester worked in Fort worth I believe and General Dynamics I don't know about anything before that. I see what else I can remeber that might help someone else. Oh Ella Mae, Lester's mother, was a Bell and I don't know where her family came from.
