Photo of William Smith
To my Uncle Billy who died too young at the age of 22 years of age. My mother Sadie, your older sister, hung this picture of you in our home and I remember looking at it as a little girl. I wish I could have met you, but you passed the year before I was born.<P> On behalf of all the family, I have dedicated this photo and these few words in your memory. "May God bless you and keep you in His care".<P> Courtesy of Linda (O'Rourke) Clute, Petaluma, California. Daughter of Sadie (Smith) O'Rourke -
