About Merit Preston Smith

GEDCOM Note

BIOGRAPHY: One of Merit's children, J.T. (Buss) was electrocuted at Falcon Dam in South Texas. Doing roadwork, it had rained and he was standing in water when touched hot wire. ( I don't remember who told this to me, probably either Buck Dwain's daughter, Lila Lee McClendon, or Aletha)
