Smith Reunion in North Carolina

This is just a fun picture I came across. This is Aunt Rose, me, and Uncle Emerson from the family reunion we had in the Great Smokey Mountains in 2003 (I think).

Sean Patrick Smith

Sean Patrick Smith is the son of my Uncle Richie & Aunt Kellie. This makes him the great grandson of Harry Sr. & Elvira. My aunt just brought to my attention something very cool that I want to share with everyone. As you all know, Harry Sr. was born December 2, 1898. My cousin Sean was born December 2, 1998. This means that Sean was born on Harry Sr.'s 100th birthday. Pretty cool, I must say!

Obituary of Harry Sr.

The Twenty-Third Psalm
The Lord is my shephard; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Waterloo Teen Electrocuted on High-Volt Pole

As y'all can see, some words on the right side of page are cut off but I did my best to figure it out.



WATERLOO- A 17-year-old boy died and his friend was injured when the two climbed a high-voltage electrical pole off the West River Road here yesterday.
Louis Carl Smith Jr., son of Louis and Jeannette Smith of 19 Swift St, was pronounced dead by Seneca County Coroner Arthur Schroeder.
A post-mortem examination by Dr. Paul C. Jenks at Taylor-Brown Memorial Hospital indicated that the death was an accident, and caused by electrocution, according to Schroeder.
State police said Smith and Robert Heye, 16, of 313 W. Main St., were descending the high pole when Smith apparently slipped and fell onto a live wire.
The Heye youth was burned on both hands when he climbed toward Smith and touched the boys shirt, police said. Heye was treated at Taylor-Brown and released.
A third youth, Tracey John Eannetta, 15, of 12 State St., was not injured but was examined at the hospital. Police said he had not climbed the pole.
State police said Smith and Heye had reached the top of the pole, in a remote wooded area between W. River Road and Barge Canal, and were on their way back down when the accident occurred, leaving the Smith boy draped over a crossbar some 60 feet above the ground. A New York State Electric and Gas Company crew turned off power at the Geneva su? station and used a lift-bucket truck to assist in retrieving the boy.
A crewman raised himself in the lift and another climbed the pole tower. Together they placed the boy in a safety belt and lowered him with ropes to the ground where he was pronounced dead.
Power in the Waterloo-Border city was off for more than two hours as the operation went underway.
Involved in the rescue attempt was North Seneca Falls ambulance crews, Waterloo fireman, and the Seneca County Sheriffs Department.
The Smith boy was a student at Waterloo Highschool.
