Subject: Re: Smith brothers Author: Jesse (I THINK I got this one...) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Mon, August 20 2018, 22:57:39 In reply to: Anonymous 's message, "Smith brothers" on Fri, May 11 2018, 21:42:49 Found this 1992 autographed card on eBay from "Richard H. Smith & Robert Smith - Smith Twins in Our Gang 1926 & 1927." Richard's middle initial alone should pretty much confirm what I dug up on FamilySearch shortly before I found that card. RICHARD SMITH born: 15 April 1924 Los Angeles, California, United States of America died: 27 June 2000 (last residence) Fresno, California, United States of America Real name: Richard Harry Smith https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGLW-7LQP (birth certificate) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VLN7-RM5 (CA Birth Index) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XCFV-C3X (1930 Census) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K97G-LNP (1940 Census) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V9R6-4W5 (Social Security Death Index) https://www.ebay.com/itm/173437183125 (autographed card, dated 11 [Jun or Aug] 1992) ROBERT SMITH born: 15 April 1924 Los Angeles, California, United States of America died: 15 December 2006 (last residence) Clovis, California, United States of America Real name: Robert Clark Smith https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGL7-F5Q4 (birth certificate) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VLN7-RMT (CA Birth Index) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XCFV-C3F (1930 Census) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K97G-LN5 (1940 Census) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JGN3-8TR (Social Security Death Index) https://www.ebay.com/itm/173437183125 (autographed card, dated 11 [Jun or Aug] 1992) ADDITIONAL INFO FOR BOTH PAGES: They were born to Etta Angela (née Taylor; b. 31 Aug 1897 in Glenmont, KS; d. 14 Jan 1956 in Fresno County, CA) and Harry Vandola Smith (b. 3 Aug 1880 in Cambridge, OH; d. 31 Aug 1958 in Fresno County, CA). Harry worked as a barber, and together he and Etta had two more children: Virginia Louise (m. Gavello, 24 Mar 1926 - 12 Mar 2000) and Donald Clayton (1 Nov 1928 - 29 Dec 1995). It looks like Harry and Etta divorced before 1940, although Harry appears to still be living with Etta and the kids in the 1940 Census? Etta had previously married a Chester E. Elliott in 1916 and had a son named Elbert (1919-1981); she then later married a man named Ebert, then twice wed a Ross G. Alexander (in 1947 and in 1949).
