Most of the information I have I got from (The Calhoun County Wv. Gen Web.) The 1900 Census of Sherman District Listed as Smith, 265
Leander... Jul 1865...34...m15yrs... PA PA PA.
(This is Barbara) Jane... Wife...Aug 1865...34...m15yrs...WV WV WV.
Johney...son...Aug 1887...12...s...WV PA WV.
Charley...son...Aug 1890...9...s...WV PA WV.
Maudie...dau...April 1894...6...s...WV PA WV.
(This is my great grandma) Vernie...dau...May 1896...4...s...WV PA WV.
Leander (Lee) 2nd wife can also be found on the same census, but she is still living at home. Her parents were Elias & Nancy Little. They are also found in Calhoun Co. marriages 1881-1936 Bride's file
Listed as-
Bell, Barbara J. -20 yrs- Calhoun-John M. & Barbara McElfresh, Leander-24 yrs. OH- Wm McElfresh & Elizabeth Smith -17 Feb 1886 further down on the same list you'll see where he married his 2nd wife, Lizzie Little, Mary Lizzie-24-Calhoun -Elias & Nancy Smith, Lee- 35W- Greene Co. PA. -William 02 Aug 1905.
Then you can find Barbara Jane & Maudie listed on the Cemetery file, Clayton Stump Cemetery, Sherman District.
Jane Smith (w. of LEE. Smith)-15 Aug 1865-12 Dec 1904.
Maudie Smith (d. of LEE Smith)- 7 April 1893- 10 jun 1901
Barbara must have went by her middle name. I would like to know how to find out what Barbara Jane & Maudie died of.
What I am having the hardest time on is trying to find information on Leander (Lee) Smith. If you have any information on Leander I'd be grateful for the information.
Thankyou, Diane
