Jake/Jacob Smith

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake/Jaxob Smith is reportedly buried in the Silas D Copley Cemetery near  Cabwaylingo

State Park.  Jake had no stone in 1930 when the inventory of the cemetery was done.

Silas D Copley was a son of Ira Goff Copley and the cemetery was on Ira's Farm.

There was a stone for Ira but not one for Jake Smith or Dan Mathis, who was

killed during the Civil War. Ira Copley's 2nd wife was Nary Jane Smith.

She could be a daughter of Jake Smith and that is why she is buried

in the Silas D. Copley Cemetery.
