I am looking for information on Henry Smith and his family of Sherwood and Defiance, Ohio. They had five children: Florence, Edward, Clara, Mildred and Charles. Charles died in 1917 at the age of 11. Mildred is my grandmother who is buried in Riverside Cemetery in Defiance.

You may have this information already but here's the family in census records from 1900
to 1930.
