From the Obit of Francis Smith,
great-grandson of Thomas & Annie



Seventh To Drown (1943)

"Others of the family were the following: his grandfather Francis M. Smith, his uncle Francis M. Smith, his great-grandfather Thomas Court, his great-uncle JOHN COURT, his uncle Fred Court, and his cousin Leslie Earl Simpson."

   Most all these folks were fishermen or watermen
   of some sort & NONE of them knew how to swim!
