  	20260224GHLn- Joni Haskins Peer 23 February 2026 · Lafey Smith about 1986, when I had the restaurant in town, I went to Card Creek Cemetery. I was taking information off head stones recording family history. Mr. Smith was there; he was the caretaker at the time. He sat down on a head stone and said is there anything you want to know about anyone here, I know most all of them. We talked for a while about the past and I listened to his great stories. I had my camera with me and asked him if I could take his picture. He walked down by his truck straightened his clothes and gave me a smile. I gave him a picture, and he carried it with him for a while saying his girlfriend gave it to him Comments Rena Smith Baker Lots and lots of good memories with Grampa and Gramma Smith. Never had to shovel cow shit, hay or help in the cemetaries Penny Bosworth I remember him and his wife. We got our milk from them. Thank you for sharing this memory.
