(notes) Taped interview, 02 July 1995, at the residence of Alice Elmira (HENLEY) SMITH. Alice Elmira says, she was named "Alice" after the mother of her father, William Otis HENLEY. Family Bible and loose papers at residence of Alice on 02July1995: Marriage to Henry Loyd Smith on 21 August 1926 in Truman, Arkansas. Witness: Mrs. Tommie Hammons. Tom BASS drove them to get their marriage license in Jonesboro, ARK. Alice told me that none of the HENLEYs attended the service, as they were against the wedding. During a taped interview on 01 July 1995, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, at the residence of Geneva Aileen (SMITH) WELBORN PHILLIPS ANDERSON, Alice E. (HENLEY) SMITH mentioned living on High Street, in Ecorse, Michigan. She then remembered a house on McComb Rd, as "our" house. The house on McComb was two-story and is still standing. The SMITH's moved back to New Mexico (1948) because Henry Loyd SMITH Sr. became afflicted with Tuberculosis. H. Loyd was working at Great Lakes Steel Co. They sold the house on McComb Rd. in Michigan, to move back to N.Mex. They also had a grocery store which was sold. Alice did not mention much about the grocery store. H.Loyd SMITH recuperated from the Tuberculosis, but eventually died (1968) from a 5-year bout with cancer, in Albuquerque, N.Mex. His doctor was Dr. Lovelace, of the renowned Lovelace Clinic and NASA astronauts doctor, in Albuquerque. Alice worked about six years at Ford's Automobile plant in Michigan, building headlights for Jeeps and tanks, used on the war equipment, during World War II. She claims to have had to work 10 hours per day, there, running a punch press. It was during this time that she nearly lost one of her fingers in an accident, which necessitated her being taken to a hospital (she said is was called "Ford" Hospital) in Dearborn, MI. Alice also recalls they had over 300 acres on which they raised cows and chickens, soybeans, wheat, oats, potatoes, and other vegetables. During the war, Alice stated that she and H.Loyd SMITH provided foodstuff and weekend meals to many families of the area; and that, for a time, she also raised two other boys. 2 SOUR S518
