<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am hoping you see this message, hope it gets back
to you one way or another. Am interested in the Wm. David Barger you
mentioned, as I have many Bargers in Oregon, so there is probably a connection
but don't have him listed in any of my information. Do you have his
parents names by chance? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>The Luttrell name from Coos County rings a bell with me, but I can't
place it at the moment. I suspect there are still Luttrell's in the
Remote/Bridge area. If this is where <BR>Irene Ruby died, she is most likely
either buried in either the Myrtle Point cemetery, the Enchanted Prairie or
the Norway Cemetery. </DIV>

<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV>I am relatively (no pun intended) new to this list, but I thought I
would try to ask a question.</DIV>
<DIV>My grandpa was Verde Morton Smith (later to be Sr.). He was born
in Kentucky, 25 May 1905. At some point, his uncles decided to move to
Oregon (the only names I have are George W, Orlando, and David Smith).
His father, Asbury Smith, moved his little family to St. Louis,
MO. Asbury was married Edna Helen Boyd and they had 6
children, Myrtle (born 1900), Willie Orlando (born 1903), Verde (my
grandpa), Charles Theodore (born 1907), Irene Ruby (born 1908) and Virgil
Vernon (born 1910). Tragically, Asbury Smith died on December 24, 1910
in a freak accident when his horse on the ice wagon threw him. He was
buried Christmas day in St. Louis and his youngest son was born on December
26, 1910. After his death, Edna's inlaws suggested she move to Oregon
so that she may have help with the children. She soon married William
David Barger.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now that I have given a little background, I have two things I hope
some could help me figure out.</DIV>
<DIV>First, Irene Ruby Smith died in Oregon at a young age on 14 Feb 1921 in
Coos County. I would like to know exactly what town if possible and
what cemetery she is in and if that date is correct (I got it from a letter
written by a great great aunt.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Second (and this is the most important one to me), my grandpa Verde
Morton Smith married another woman before he married my grandma in
Texas. I think sometime around 1930 he married Jeanne Alice Luttrell
(she was born 26 Feb 1911) somewhere in either Oregon or Washington state
(Oregon is more likely). They had one some Roy Dwight Smith born 19
Aug 1931 in Remote, Coos County, OR. He was later adopted and his name
changed to Roy Dwight Varn. My question is when did they get married
and where? The family rumor is that they were married and divorced
three times, but I cannot find any evidence. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Last, if anyone has any information about the people mentioned in the
above description, I am eager to hear it. Since I live in Texas and
have never visited your beautiful state, I hope that someone may be able to
help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you for your time.</DIV>
