Father J.J. Smith
Niece, Margaret Smith Eaton and Nephew, Patrick Smith. 

Margaret was the wife of Thomas Eaton of Emmetsburg, Iowa. The picture was recently given to me by the youngest daughter of Patrick Smith, the brother of Margaret Smith. He is the young boy in the picture. Patrick was born in 1879 and was sent to Iowa at a very young age. He made his first communion in Iowa with Fr. Smith. So I figure that the picture is probably from about 1888. My grandmother was the sister of both these children.
