Mrs. Christopher Columbus Smith

 



I'm still searching for info on my Great Aunt Alice. She was born in Canton, Missouri about 1885 to Robert Louis LANKFORD / LANKFARD and Carlotta (DADE) LANKFORD / LANKFARD. She was the wife of Christopher Columbus Smith.

I'm trying to locate her obituary. I have spoken to relatives. They state that she passed in St. Joseph, Missouri. Perhaps in the late 1960's I'm searching and I hope to find more info on her. Perhaps  someone could add more info.

Thanks for reading.
