Death of Elizabeth Runion Leatherwood

I found these two mentions of the death of Elizabeth Leatherwood in 1887.  The first is from the Knoxville Daily Sentinel,  31 May 1887.  The second is from the Knoxville Journal and Tribune, 24 May 1887, just 2 days after her death. What a coincidence to find an article about deaths from an epidemic over 130 years ago on a website I signed up to use while quarantined during the current pandemic. 




Elizabeth Runion Leatherwood (1812-1887) is my husband's 4th great grandmother.

P C Smith (1872-1921) Chilton County Alabama


This is a page from "Chilton County and Her People" by Thomas Wyatt, 1940.

"Said to have been the first to raise peaches commercially in the county was the late P C Smith..."

I believe this is Paul Clifford Smith (1872-1921), my husband's great great grandfather.
His obituary is from the Chilton County Alabama Union Banner, June 16 1921.
