Yes, I have seen the draft reg before. But it was throwing me off with the Callie as a relitive.Could it have been Callie for short or Dona for short? I had never seen the "Jiner" Joiner? census before with anyone listed asCaladova. I have seen a Lilly. Oma and James that could be siblings. The family Bible from Flora's side lists her mother as Dona Joiner Smith. Eva's delayed BC lists her mother as Dona Joiner Smith also. I know Luther Kenneth Smith moved from TN with his daughters Flora May Phillips and Eva Ella Crass and their families from the Roane Co TN area in the early 1930's to California. Dona died in 1913 TN from TB. I have no idea where she is buried, but assume she is somewhere in the Knox Co. area. Eva and Flora were only about 7 and 4 yrs old when she died, so they were farmed out while Luther looked for work. The information you sent deffinately fits into the puzzle. If you have any more clues I would be soooo excited to hear from you! Thanks, if I can return the favor please let me know. Brenda
