• Notes

  From an email by Chandler Smith Cheek: I have letters written by Daniel and Sheldon to my great grandfather Chandler Holmes Smith in Madison, Florida. One was sad. Sheldon writes the following about his sister Elizabeth: "When I left you in Jasper (FL), little did I think that I should come back home and find one member of my father's little family missing. (Sheldon's father was Nicholas, Chandler's Uncle and Elizabeth would have been Sheldon's 20-year-old sister). Such however is the case. Elizabeth is dead. She went to Hinesville on a visit, was taken sick and died very suddenly. Poor creature it has been her lot to suffer in this world - but no doubt tonight she is better off than she was in this world. Elizabeth was a dear girl and had a great many friends. All who knew her, loved her, 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.' Although we have lost a dear, kind sister, our loss is her eternal gain. Pa seemed very much affected indeed. I feel sorry for the poor old man. I think he looks thinner and worse than I ever saw him."
