Another Smith

Cecil was the half-brother of Logan – see his mother was married to his father’s brother – say what now?

Lucy, Cecil’s mother, was first married to Burton Wiley Smith (left), the father of Logan from the previous post.   

Unfortunately, Burton died in 1906 – a little over a year from when they married and was buried at the New Annan Bell Gift Cemetery

Then in 1910, Lucy married Burton's brother Austin Arthur Smith (right - Austin & Lucy). 

Ok, now that we have that worked out, back to Cecil.

Cecil married Clara Millet and they are buried at the Rockley Cemetery
