Quentin C. Smith Albums
Scope and Contents

The albums are about the histories of the Smith, Patterson, Shibley, Link and related families of Adair County, Missouri. They contain copies of photos, letters, newspaper clippings and documents Mr. Smith, his mother and other relatives accumulated, shared and organized while doing genealogical research. Some of the captions and pages of text came from information provided by the diary of his grandmother's Alice Shibley.
