According to Calvin C. Smith and my mother Gloria J. Smith, Isaac Carter Smith preferred his coffee with chicory and to be of skin scorching temperature, and served with a saucer, he then pored the coffee onto the saucer and blew on it until it cooled to a sipping temperature Much to the great irritation of my Father who always gave us kids a good lick-in, for doing ourselves.

Hey Charles and Paul,

I saw this profile in my Genealogy feed because I am a Hunt Descendant (no relation...yet). I noted there was no info. on locations. So I grabbed the Find a Grave location and added it to death location - I also reformatted the Find a Grave Citations to show more information, added link to husbands note..

Since Hunt is the LNAB you don't need to have Hunt as an "other Names" too. I removed the extra Hunt.

If you want to change what I have done back to the original, you can by clicking on the Changes tab, top right of the profile.
