Sue, I have read some of the messages that have been posted for Melissa Smith and she did
not die in 1972. She died December 14, 1964. She is buried in Oak Hill Cemetary.
Section 53, Row A, Grave 13. Hilary is buried in Section 49 Row G, grave 26. I was 3
years old when she died. She was my great grandmother. She was not known as Miss Mazie
Smith as previously reported. Melissa's parents were Joseph Holt and Lydia J. Davis.
They were married in Warrick County July 21, 1878. I know people are trying to be helpful
but a lot of misinformation is being posted. Before my great grandfather Hilary died,
they lived at 1003 Conlin Ave. in Evansville.
Hilary's burial card has a notation of Welfare burial. On Melissa's burial card
it states "Spencer County Welfare Case". They at one time lived in Boonville,
and possibly Grandview, Indiana. I hope this helps. I would be interested in getting in
touch with Kim so if you could pass along my interest in talking with her I'd
appreciate it. Thanks, Becky
