Each week she focused on a local pioneer family by tracing the family roots back to colonial times.  In 1982, these articles were published in a book, Leaves From the Family Tree, by Southern Historical Press.

Note from submitter:

The Bible from which this information was taken has been in my husband’s family for some years.  My husband’s family is not “blood kin” of the Elkins family, but, apparently, his grandfather, H. E. White, was once married to a daughter of the Elkins family.  She died without children and H. E. White remarried, this time marrying my husband’s great-grandmother, Julia Talley.  From the family tradition, I gather that the older members of the Elkins family had no one to care for them and, because he had once been a son-in-law of the family, H. E. White continued to care for the old folks.  The Bible ended up, eventually, in this family as my husband is an only child.  Here is the information.  If someone steps forward who is a descendent, we will gladly give them the Bible so that it can be in the proper family.

William Cephas Smith, 92 Confederate Veteran, who died at his home in Senatobia, was laid to rest here Saturday. Willian C. Smith (paper dated March 19, 1934) Senatobia, Miss. Confederate Veteran Reached the Age of 92

William Cephas Smith 92, resident of Tate County for 73 years, native of Fayetteville, Tenn., scion of a long line of clergymen and educators from Virginia, died here at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Joe E. Veazey. Mr. Smith's father Austin Grey Smith, minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, emigrated with his young wife, also other pilgrims by means of the covered wagon, from Virginia to the new Mid-South Tennessee. There Cephas was born. Upon reaching young manhood, the son and father felt the lure of further exploration, goaded on by the virgin soil of North Mississippi, Austin Grey Smith, preacher, and his son, William Cephas, were pleased with the texture of the soil of Mississippi, and proceeded to establish a homestead four miles south of Senatobia. William Cephas enlisted in the Confederate Army, the last two years of which he was a member of the Bedford Forrest Cavalry, carrying to his grave a bullet in his wrist. His army stories were the delight of his friends. He sold the shoes off his feet, at Jackson, for $30. Eight months after the surrender, Dec. 6 1865, he married Miss Frances Jackson and to them was born 13 children. The Rev. Harry Leland Martin, D.D. officiated at his funeral in the presence of a great concourse of friends. The following sons and daughter survive Mr. Smith: William Cephas Smith, Memphis; T. Carroll Smith, Memphis; W.E. Smith, Hardy, Miss.; Mrs. G.I. McLaughlin, Tuscon [sic], Ariz.; Mrs. Glen James O. Meriwether, Senatobia; Mrs. Joe E Veazey, Senatobia, and Miss Dida Smith,
