Ada was the daughter of Mary Bryant and Valentine Reeves; she was married to William Harve Phelps. It appears she married Hayes Smith in Ohio in 1979, but Smith was not given as her last name on her death certificate. The death certificate and her obituary give her place of birth as Corbin, Kentucky, which is at the corners of 3 counties--Whitley, Knox, and Laurel. We do not exactly where her parents were living when she was born. It is possible she was actually born in the Rockhold Voting Precinct in Whitley County, KY, where the family was living in 1900, when she was 2 years old.
Although the death certificate gives Evergreen Cemetery in Louisville, KY, as place of burial, her obituaries give McFarland Cemetery in Corbin as the place of graveside service and burial.
