emsmith002.jpg577 viewsThis is a photo of a young Esther Magdaline Smith, b.1-6-1878, d.3-9-1935, buried at Weaver Union Church Cemetery, Bristol, Sullivan County, TN. She never married. Esther was born at Vance's Tank [Bristol], Sullivan County, TN. She is the daughter of Mary Elizabeth Weaver Smith and James Latham Smith.

I would guesstimate the photo was taken approximately 1900 or so.
