Additional information: 

Unmarked; added to the SMITH-DRAKE family cemetery on Burnt Reed Rd. (Rt 743), 
   where her husband (1838-1920) is buried.  The stones are all down, so it is 
   possible her marker has been lost.  The stone for their son Alex R. SMITH 
   (1889-1910) gives son of B.F. & L.U. SMITH - source for her middle initial. 
   The wife of the informant, their son Henry L. SMITH, is also buried there.
