This marker is for my paternal grandmother, Ellen Rebecca PRESTON BALLARD SMITH (1880-1923). She married William E. SMITH (1869-1939) on 11 May 1904 in Coon Rapids, Iowa. This is at the Coon Rapids Cemetery, Coon Rapids, Iowa.
Ellen Rebecca PRESTON was the daughter of James P. PRESTON (1835-1906) and Ellen Rebecca MILLER (1850-1912).
Families are Forever! ;-)
This Blog focuses on Ancestor Stories, both the stories themselves about my family’s ancestors and discussions of where they come from and how to prepare and share them. These stories may be non-fiction or fiction – we will always tell which is which, of course. Also see my KINNICK blog and The HOMEPLACE Series Blog, left sidebar, scroll down.
