Thank you so much for relying!
I am a descendant of Frederick W. Smith. Yes, he married a Carrie E. Wanzer. Carrie is the one that I am having the most difficult time with. They had children, Catherine S. and Walter Andie Smith (my grandfather) April 28, 1919 – August 2, 1997.
According to my family, Carrie had a half brother named Archie, I can’t find him either. Carrie also remarried after Frederick to a William J. Earle.
As far as Catherine’s children, Hattie and Charles, you know just as much as I do.
I have family photos of Catherine S Smith, Frank Smith, a photo of Frederick Smith with his granddaughters Barbara and Cathy, a photo of Charles Woodward, and George Henry Smith.I also have a photo of a young woman, on the back it says “Lena, sister of Walter’s grandfather” I am assuming that Lena is Charles A Smith’s sister. Any ideas?
Another photo I have is of an older man, on the back it says “Grandpa Whitford” I am assuming it is Catherine M’s father. And another photo from Christmas 1947 of an “Aunt Lillie”, any idea on this one?
I know Charles A Smith was from Germany but that is all the information I have on him.
According to my family there is a Cora Weeks and a Black foot Indian with the last name of Tarbox (I have this photo) in the family. These may be on the Wanzer side. Do these names ring any bells?
Any other information you have would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any other information, I am happy to help.
I will try to get my scanner hooked up this week so I may send you some of the photos I have.
