Harriet Malvina (Campbell) Smithwick & Family
about 1908

She was Mrs.Steven Dewitt Smithwick and is buried in the cemetery in Italy. The only people we know for sure in the picture are:

(starting from the far right and going left)

Standing: Alice M. (Smithwick) Chenoweth and sitting, Samuel A. Chenoweth and their children, Annie & Ethel

Next couple standing: Ora M. (Chenoweth) Smithwick and sitting, William R. Smithwick. I'm not sure of their children's names.

Young man sitting is Henry Smithwick who taught school in Italy.

Elderly lady sitting is his mother Harriet M.Smithwick

...that is all we can identify.

There were fifteen Smithwick children. Smithwick siblings married a Chenoweth brother and sister, and a Graves brother and sister. Other families that married Smithwicks were Styles, Knights, and Hughes. I would like to hear from anyone who can tell us who the other people in the picture are.

Unidentified Church
Probably in Italy, Texas

Both of these old photos were found in Ora Smithwick's personal effects when she died. She was born in Italy in 1884 and is buried in the cemetery in Italy. Maybe someone can tell me the name of the church in this picture.
