Jesse N Smith/ General information

I sent these questions to Menlo Smith, president of the Jessie N. Smith Foundation and he responded thus.

Brother Menlo Smith

Having just completed his Journal of which of which I am greatly moved, I will have dozens of questions.

I want to put forth a power point presentation of his life and experiences.  Perhaps someone has already done this or even a video history.  If you are aware, please let me know. Not aware of any. Would love to see what you do.

There is wonderful information to be gleaned from the "Kinsman" which I now see is posted as well the family website.

1.  There was a 100 year anniversary book made for "Snowflake".  Are there copies still available?  Where can I peruse one?  Perhaps I can see if Richard Smith has one. Unaware of any available copies. Richard Smith would be a good place to start. The Snowflake Heritage Foundation would surely have a copy. Unfortunately I don't have contact info. You could get that from Becky Gibson beckygibson@cableone.net.

2.  Has anyone currently have any video, or power point presentations, or otherwise made of Jessie N Smith? See above.

3.  Did Great Grandma Janet keep a journal?  or has anyone written a history. Unaware of such.

4.  Is there a structure in Snowflake still up that Jessie N occupied?  I see he never did live in the family home which was completed the same year he passed away.  It's myunderstanding that he did live for a short time  in the home he built in Snowflake that is still standing and serves as a museum. If any of the earlier structures he built as homes are still standing I'm unaware of them.

5.  ARe there anymore Smith family gatherings? None planned that i'm aware of.

Were going to have a special 179th birthday celebration for Jessie N December 2nd.  If your going to be around we would love to have you attend.  We will probably ask Richard as well.  Where will it be?

Thank you for leading the way for our family not to forget these wonderful people.
