Went by height, appearence, and approximate age. It appears Elizabeth Matilda is not in the photo Mr. Michael A. Orr
On his death certificate they have his mothers name as Matilda Birdsong, However, this was lined out and BIRDING was penned in above it. Boyd Fleming Alvin ORR, His son was the informant. The rumor in my family is that her last name was indeed BIRDSONG.
If you look at the 1880 Census for Liberty Township, Iron County, Missouri, Line 14, You will notice that The Initials looks like P.A., But if you look at line 43, you will see the name Phena,. This "P" is very Distinct. Now look at line 47, the name there is Nathan. The "N" is a lot like the first Initial of Smiley's Wife. Instead of "P" it is an "N". Now, the second Initial is an "A". so, her Initials are N. A.
Unfortunately, the 1890 Census for Missouri was Destroyed in a fire. But we can now see another Mistake in the Information I was given in the 1900 and 1910 Census's for Liberty Township, Iron County, Missouri. The information I was given is that Smiley's Wife's name is Nellie Delilah Choate, But according to these two census, her name is Nellie A. (Ann maybe?) I have found no census showing a Nellie Delilah being married to Smiley.
According to the Information I was given, "P.A." and smiley had a daughter named Elizabeth Matilda Orr b: 04 Jun 1879, Missouri d: 19 Aug 1959, Birmingham, Alabama. According to the 1880 Census, she was born in May of 1879. now according to the 1900 and 1910 Census, Smiley A. Orr and Nellie A had a daughter (1 Of many Children) named Matilda (Tilly) R. Orr, b: 04 Jun 1879, Jefferson City, Missouri, d: 19 Aug 1959, Birmingham, Alabama. The 1900 Census shows that she was born in Jun 1879 and is 20 years old, But the Census was taken on the 18th and 19th of June 1900. This would make her 21 not 20, I now believe she was born in Jun 1880.
Hope I have not confused you so far. Here is my recap;
P.A. is really N. A. (Nellie A.)
Nellie Delilah s/b Nellie A.
Elizabeth is the Oldest Daughter b: 4 May 1879, not 4 Jun 1879
Matilda (Tilly) R. Orr was born 04 Jun 1880 not 04 Jun 1879
This would explain why no one can find any document mentioning Smiley having Married a P. A. in Missouri.
