Joy, I read your post on the Amherst Board today and it brought back a flood of memories. When I was a child my family lived a few miles from the Smiths and they were good friends of my grandparents. The Smiths lived on route 29 just west of Monroe and we lived on Winesap Rd. just west of the Winesap railroad crossing out of Monroe. The Smiths went to the Methodist Church and my family attended the Baptist Church. Some of the Smith children were close to the age of my parents and they had children close in age to me and my brothers. We visited Maggie often and they had a really cool house, a white Dutch colonial (still standing) with an enclosed front porch on one half of the front. We lived in a large white mansion house with four white columns. We often had law socials and all of the neighbors and church folk would attend. I checked the Amherst cemetery book and did not find a burial for either Harry or Maggie so they could have been buried in Lynchburg. The Jones Memorial Library in Lybg. has a computerized list of deaths and burials and may be able to give you some additional info. I don't plan to go back to Va. until next summer so if I can help then let me know. I also forwarded you e-mail to my brother to see what he remembers. I know some other people who's parents worked with Harry on the railroad and maybe they can shed some light on these folks. Best regards, Becky
