I am looking for info on the family of my g-g-grandmother. She was
married three times to 1) Joel Gambrell 2) Henry Timms and 3) George Smith.
George Smith was called "Pappy". Her maiden name was Poole. She is buried
in Old Silverbrook Cemetery. Her head stone reads;
Annie L. Smith
Born Dec. 25, 1864
Died May 21, 1935
"Gone but not forgotten"
Her burial date was May 23, 1935 by McDougald Funeral Home. Any help
would be much appreciated. I am hoping that an obit from Anderson Co.
Library will have survivor names or parents names. As I am not in SC, I
cannot get to this info. Thanks in advance.
