Lavona has this to say about Maudie Smith nee Brooks:
As far as I know Aunt Maud was born in Daviess County Kentucky. Her
parents, John Henry and Sarah Susanna Josephine (CASKEY) BROOKS were
married 3 Oct 1875 Daviess County Kentucky. "Johnny" and Sarah Brooks
was in Madison County Arkansas and their parents and siblings next
door in Franklin County Arkansas for the 1880 census.
I am not sure when Aunt Maud and the family moved into the Webbers Falls
area. They were on the 1900 census. Sarah (Caskey) Brooks' parents,
Joseph B. and Mary E. (WHITE) CASKEY, siblings, Rachel (Caskey)
MITCHELL, Elizabeth (Caskey) LOOPER MORGAN, Mary Jane (Caskey) ABBOTT
and brothers all lived in the Webbers Falls area.
Aunt Maud married Famous Smith, 2 Feb 1897.
