Nancy Alice's tombstone has no other information, but her first name. She is buried next to Lumpkin family members. So we started digging into who Nancy Alice could be. Nancy Alice was the daughter of Eli Smith born 1831, who served in the Civil War and Patsy Ann Kemper born in 1836. More to come in a detailed sketch of about the Eli Smith Family.
