R.D. is remembered fondly by family who knew her. RD's mother died in childbirth and RD was raised by her grandmother. After her grandmother passed on, she was taken in by Essie & Mossie Jefferson. I found Essie & Mossie on the 1930 Census but not with RD or other children. Ara D's parents were Nolan Sherman Cox and Berthie Jeffers.

Her husband was Lee Turner Smith and together they had seven children of which I am aware.

I have the burial place from information from a beloved granddaughter, the date is from SS records. RD and Lee are in the 1940 Census and supposedly came with the family to Muncie, Indiana, in 1955.

R.D. is listed in the 1960 City Directory for Muncie, Indiana as widow of Lee.

R.D. Smith's death certificate gives her birth date as Nov. 30 and died at age 80, 18 Mar 1988. It stated she was born in Batesville, Mississippi. It gives her mother as Bertha Jefferson and father as Sherman Cox as reported by her daughter Sarah Long.

Her obituary publised in the Muncie, IN, Star Press gives her birth places as Batesville, Alabama.

If a family member would like this memorial, I would be please to transfer into your care!
