My grandfather was W.A.Smith he grew up in the Smith house that has been beautifully restored ,I've been watching it come back to life for years.Growing up I have heard many stories from my Grandfather,they really went through some hard times,especially the last year.They had over 20 children in the house,and they all did the fields that last year barefooted in hopes of getting new shoes when the crop was harvested,only after the harvest ,the prices fell on cotton and not only did they not get their shoes.They lost their home and land.After getting married Papa and Grandmother worked in the mill,ran a chicken farm and raised ,sold cattle.Hard work was ingrained in them for the rest of their lives so that they would never lose their home again.By the way my Grandmother was a Middleton.(Middleton House).We also had four relatives who fought in the Revolutionary War.I am very proud to have such strong minded and strong willed ancesters who workerd so very hard to get and keep what they had.
