This is what i have on Alva Smith
While Alvin Smith lived in Nortan .
He took an active part in public affairs and was an officer in the school district he lived in,
From the time of its organization.
He was a Leota man during the county seat contest,and was a republican in politics.
He left home on August 20,1885, and has never been seen nor heard of since,
Except once some time in the fall of 1885 F,M.Lockard met him in Lyons Kansas.
No reasonable excuse has ever been offered for his strange actions as his home was surroundings were of most Pleasent and Lovering character.
(My Father William Thomas McGinnis )
Tells of Grandfather Smith,departure as if it were due to Horse Ressler,
