John Franklin Smothers/Hamilton co IL
I am searching for anything I can find on John Franklin Smothers---We know his wife's name was Cyrena(aka Rena) SullivanAlso pretty sure his father's name was Jefferson.
John was born 1-13-1854 and died 4-19-1919. We know he lived for a while in Hamilton county Illinios(probably got married there).
Looking for anything I can find either about his children, siblings or parents.Rumor hasit he lost most of his family to smallpox epidemic.Thanks
