• Notes

  The following excerpt was written in 1994 in the memoirs of Judith Smith Fitzhugh, eldest daughter of August William Smith and Bertha Cora Weisent Smith. (source: "Michel Family Tree") John Smith (paternal grandfather) - John was born in Fulda, Ohio, in 1876. He died in 1943 at the age of 67. He was very strict with the children and very domineering with his wife. My mother said he was definitely the boss of the family. He wanted a large meal on Sundays and thought the woman should do all the cooking. Sunday was a day to attend church; John was a strict Catholic. He insisted on naming my father, August, after one of his brothers, even though my grandmother protested.
