He was shot in McCorkle on the evening of May 28. I also have that he and his wife had a daughter named Goldie Barbara, born November 21, 1915, in McCorkle. (Lincoln County Birth Records) I have that his wife Gillie was the daughter of E.E. Kidd and Sarah Elizabeth Pauley. I am descended from Millie's brother Jordan Smith, Jr. Millie is something of mystery to me. She had 6 children born and living according to one of the censuses, maybe 1910. I know she had Strawder, Laurette/Laura, Ezra Isom or Isom Ezra, Monroe, and maybe a George born in 1876 who is on the 1880 census with her and Strawder in her mother's household. I know nothing else about George. I couldn't figure out who the 6th child was, but had seen the marker at Pine Grove for Osten Smith who died in 1913. I am very curious about him. Do you know more details about him? Maybe he was off working on someone's farm as a live-in helper when the census was taken in 1900? In 1900 after the census was taken, (in which Millie is "widowed" and Laura, Monoe and Isom are the only children at home), Laura married John Armstrong and Millie married John A. Pauley. (You can tell this because in the 1910 census both couples have been married 10 years.) She was his 3rd or 4th wife. He was born in 1840. After Millie died in June of 1919, he married a young widow, named Louvenia. She was 50 years younger than him. Also, I have different fathers for some of Millie's kids. (Taken from their death records) Men named Anderson Barker, Reese Woods, and Joel Midkiff. Joel was married to Docia Graley. I don't know if Millie was married to all of these men or any of them. Was she actually married to Mr. Holly? Do you know wehn she was married to Mr. Armstrong? On the 1910 census she and John both put down that this was their 2nd marriage, but he was married more than that and on the 1880 and 1900 census she was using her maiden name, Smith, and all of her children went by Smith. If there was ever a Mr. Smith, I haven't found him, but with all of those early Lincoln County records destroyed in 1909, who knows? Also, sometimes people gave what they thought was correct information on death records, but their memories weren't as good as they thought. (Somethings never change! I can't remember much myself.) Well, I probably asked more qeustions than I answered, but I have been interested in this family for years. My Uncle married one of Monroe Smith's grand daughters and we are also related to Monroe through his mother Millie. As for Isom, his little family was tragic. I have that he lived March 4, 1893 to May 5, 1935. His wife, Rosa Adkins, Sept. 14, 1897 to November 10, 1928. Two little daughters, Girtie May, b. January 28, 1928, d. February 5, 1928, all died in Boone County. Nellie, b. Oct. 17, 1923, married Chris H. Dunlap and died at age 17 after a miscarriage, on December 17, 1940, in McCorkle. I don't know if Isom and Rosa had any other children. Lora
