Notes:
According to his daughter Lurline B. Smith, B. C. Smith was a womanizer and philanderer. After his first wife Bessie died, he married Lucy Thompson (Lurline's mother). After Lucy left him, he moved to Massachusetts (ca 1920) and was employed as a boilerman at the state asylum/hospital in Gardner, MA. There he met and married Edith Over? daughter of Ebenezer?
According to his daughter, Lurline, Bartie, as he was called, was hooked on morphine due to an injury he received while a lumberman. Under the influence of it, he was abusive to his first wife Bessie and threw her medicine out the window (hastening her death?). Dr. Fred Chandler, the family doctor, knew of this and offered to testify in divorce proceedings.
According to Roberta Puffer, Bart and Gramma Bessie lived in a little house across the road from the Alden Worcester house, so called. On the night of Frances' birth Bart and Bessie were at the home of Roberta Puffer (then Ed Puffer's house). Later they lived in the Will Grant house, so called, about half-way down Saco Hill on the right. Bessie died there.
