Buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Seneca County, Tiffin, Ohio are Grover Cleveland Smith and his wife Mildred Claudene Tate Smith, my husband's maternal grandparents.

I can't imagine being left with all those kids. Can you tell me what a truck farmer is?
ReplyDeleteAs I understand it he was a farmer who sold his produce from a truck that he drove around town and stopped at all the homes.
