Lathan was a trustee of the New Prospect School that was at the Congregational Methodist Church at Thornton in the late 1890s. He was also on the board of education for Saron Public Schools in 1916. It indicates Mitchell Combs Smith (1853-1900) and Josephine A. Lott (1862-1899) were the parents of Arch E. Smith (1887-1968) of Boontown, TX who married Rosa Ebeby Evans (1893-1974) of Saron, TX. There is an article that mentions an Abb Lott, a Confederate solider who was married to Mary Gassiott. They are buried in Boontown Cemetery and had a daughter Delphene Cardilla Lott (1862-1901) who married Nathan James Fussell (1850-1898). Hope this helps a little!
