MEMORIAL PHOTOS 2 FLOWERS 2 Lilla Ann Humphries, daughter of David Coleman Humphries and Nancy Ann Wester, was born in Coweta County, Georgia. The family lived in Coweta County or Campbell County (depending on where the county line happened to be at the time) in the 1850, 1860, and 1870 census records. Lilla grew up during difficult times in the south, the Civil War years and post-war reconstruction. Her father served during the war but survived.

At age 24, Lilla married George W Smith, and the young farmer moved his family to Carroll County. He earned a living by farming and he and Lilla lived in Carroll County and Paulding County on the family farm the rest of their lives.

Lilla and George raised a family of eight children to adulthood. Lilla listed her occupation as cook on the 1900 census. I can imagine that she must have been quite skilled as a cook, judging by the dishes served by her descendents at Smith family reunions.

According to her death certificate, Lilla suffered from tuberculosis as the cause of death.
