Submitted September 1, 2005 by Bonnie Mashburn

My Great-Great-Great Grandparents, William Aldridge and Mary Ann (Ables) Aldridge, donated land to the Methodist Church Trustees, R. W. Manly, J. N. Sullivan, Robert Taylor, and John Mosery. The purpose of the donation was in trust that they would erect and build or cause to be erected or built, a house or place of worship for the use of the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. This is a deed found in book “I” pages 171, 172, & 173. It was filed in Cross County, Arkansas on the 21^st day of July A.D., 1873. This Church is now known as Smith Chapel Church. One Cemetery is called Shiloh Cemetery, with the larger one being called Smith Chapel Cemetery.

A. N. Morris B. September 25, 1853 D. April 16, 1918

With this information, I am not positive as to which location she is actually buried. I believe that she is buried with her Husband, but in memory of her Parent’s donation of land, her death was recognized at the Church. Her and her Husband have all their children buried in the two Cemeteries.)
