Notes:

Married:
Laura Buckmaster also shows they had a child named Alma Smith (5 May 1915-5 Jun 1930), but as no child by this name is listed on the Federal Census taken in April 1930, she may be in error, unless this child was their son Thomas A. Smith, age 14 in 1930. Laura does NOT list their son Thomas.
