MRS. MARTHA SMITH, 77 years old, died yesterday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Martha Wimplepeck (Winklepleck), 829 North Center Street. She is survived by two daughters; Mrs. Wimplepeck and Mrs. Martha Parsons; one son, Charles Smith; one sister, Mrs. Belle Duncan, of Seelyville; one brother, Lint Ellingsworth of Greenville, Illinois; nine grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock Saturday at the residence, 829 North Center Street. Burial will be in Highland Lawn Cemetery. --this obit was wrong in the spellings of peoples name, ie Mrs. Belle Duncan was Mrs. Belle Junkins and Mrs. Wimplepeck was probably Mrs. Cordelia Winklepleck, plus the residence where she died and where the funeral was to be held were different. The death certificate is more accurate.

is a possibility that there are more family members in Greene Cty., but I need to do further research. For the above info, I only have the following documents---

Letitia Ellingsworth's death cert., divorce decree from first husband, marriage certificate for first husband and for 2nd husband, a travel log from the time she was with her lover.
