The young man looks like Elmo Smith's father but I can't place the young lady. Post it on the Ellis or Lamar County, TX site at ancestry.com and someone might know.
Is Elmo Smith related to Nancy Jane Smith from Texas? It was told to me that this Smith family might be related to Joel Smith from the far eastern southern area of North Carolina. Nancy Jane Smith married James Harvey Vermillion, Texas Ranger and Civil War vetern. He was injured in the battle at Shiloh. Was instrumental in founding the orphanage in Dallas for the numerous Civil War orphans.

I am related to the Vermillion and Winkler familes. I have found quite a bit about the Vermillions and have found a little bit about the Winklers, not there are brick walls in searching for each and all of these relatives history. I lived in Wilmington California when my father worked in the shipyards when I was very little, we then moved to Hermosa Beach, California where I grew up. I have tried to find old friends from Wilmington, like Phylis McFadden, Lynn Austin and Arlene Wearing(Homes-married name, who were my junior high friends, and not knowing their married names or where they're now living, they are lost to me as well. Any news of them would also be appreciated.
