(Transcribed by Melinda McLemore Strong, June 2009) Could not find a record in the Texas Birth Index for Earl P. Smith, but did locate one for a Katherine Smith, as follows. Perhaps Earl was married twice? However, this may be for a different Katherine Smith, as the obituary of Ruby Lout Smith also shows her as the mother of Katherine.
