Thank you so much for sending that info. about the Smithfield school.
In 1994 I drove around for hours in the rain trying to find Smithfield. I did
finally find it and the house that is mentioned with the Historic marker. I
took a picture of the house and the marker, but later could not read the
marker in the picture.
I'm sure my grandfather Levi Pence and his siblings went to that school. They
were all born in Smithfield and his father's,Reuben Pence, obit said he had
lived in Smithfield for over 60 years.
Thank you so much, it solves a mystery for me.

Jan in Fla,
I'm glad that helped someone.
I originally went into the Star Press site looking for an article on a new marker for
Muncie's pioneer, Minus Turner - one of my
relatives. I was unable to find that article, so if anyone sees it or knows what day it
was in, please let me know.
An encouraging word: I had complained to the Beechgrove Cemetery office about the
vandalism on stones for Minus Turner's first
wife and children of that marriage. I was told they were aware of the problem and working
on a solution to repair them. It looks
like they were able to accomplish even more than they had planned. After all the bad news
about the things happening to cemeteries
throughout the country, it was good to hear.
