Gap Pond Cemetery, listed on line at the website:findagrave.com asChipley, Washington Co., FL.Wedrove to this cemetery and it is actuallylocated about 20 minutes south of Chipley in Sunny Hills, Washington Co., FL
William W. Smith
b. 03 Oct 1861d.06 Nov 1929
Note there is only one other Smith in this cemetery:Marjorie Priehs Smithb.04 May 1929, d.13 Apr 2013.I don't know if she is related or not but the fact that only two headstones show Smith, it might be significant.
There are unmarked graves which are located between both these Smith graves so there may be more Smith's buried in this cemetery.
Note:Siles L. Smith, younger 1/2 brother to William is listed in Vernon, Washington Co., FL located just a few miles west of Sunny Hills and this cemetery.
Also note:Williams' nephew, Howard Grady Smith,through is younger brother Jonathan Julaney Smith, died in Gully Pond in 1950 which is located on the southside of Sunny Hill.We believe he had family in the area.

Notes
1.Almost all the men profession labeled on this census page are connected to the Logging industry:saw mill hand, turpentine hand, log driver.)
2.Martha had answered 24for years married then it is scratched over..due to her being a widow. Silas was born abt abt1876, which would have fit timeline to be married 24 yrs.
3.24 yrs of marriage and telling census recorder 24 yrs then getting scratched off may indicate husband died recently.
4.Martha can not read or write, so keeping up with dates may be hard for her, so she may have messed up James W. birthdate, if she could not read what was writtne in a Bible.
5.Daughter, Sarah, showed married 1 yr, had 1 child but no child living.
6.According to Jonathan J, Smith's daughter-in-law, Robbie L GarnerSmith,(Jonatha is the step-son of Martha J Smith,), he had a sister named SARAHlast name may have been JENNINGS.This is probably her married surname.Jonathan he had Robbie take him to visit his sister several times so she had to live within acouple hours drive of Slocomb, & Malvern, AL.
7.Jonathan J. Smith & wife Mary Julia Gray, have Julia's sister living with them, sister's names is Georgia V.Gray in the 1900's census.Julia's mom was named Georgia Ann.Notice last childborn to Martha J. Smith was named Georgianna.
