Smith, Mary Jane
1855 - 1913 (58 years)1. Smith, Mary Jane was born in 1855 in Mount Sterling, Brown, Illinois, USA; died on 2 May 1913 in Sedalia, Pettis, Missouri, USA; was buried after 2 May 1913 in Pilot Grove City Cemetery, Pilot Grove, Cooper, Missouri, USA. Notes:
Mary Ann Smith came to Missouri from Illinois in the company of two brothers. She wed Silas Yarnell in 1868. Possibly the unnamed brothers were pleased to be relieved of the teenaged Mary Ann, as she was married to Silas at a very young age. Silas and Mary Ann's children were; Ida May (b.1869), Sarah Frances (b.1872), Ira (b.1876), Harry (b.1881), and Frank Irvin (b.1884). Frank Irvin's birth is recorded in the Missouri Digital Heritage: Birth and Death Records, and the age of his mother is given as 32, which gives Mary Ann an alternate birth year of 1852. After Silas died in 1891 at the age of 49, of tuberculosis, Mary Ann remarried to John F. Kersey, and moved to Sedalia MO. John Kersey apparently died before Mary Ann, because Mary Ann's MO death certificate gives her marital status as "widow", but I have not been able to find any more information on John. Mary Ann & Silas are buried together and share a stone in the Pilot Grove City Cemetery.
