Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorial Tribute to John Smith and Martha Pickens
Believing that a family history is of priceless value, and that many members of the Smith - Pickens family have long yearned for such a record, I have decided to pick up the broken threads as they have been handed down to me, and weave this cloth of gold - rich in quality and texture.
Of the present generation little is written, because it is known to each of us, and later, when other generations shall come on, we shall look to one of the younger ones to write another book and record our deeds.
In the history of all royal families we find noble deeds, fame and grandeur in all forms, but just as promi nent do we find shame, disgrace and all forms of corrup tion. While our family history reveals no heretofore um surpassed fame, yet it is exceptionally free from disgrace.
