I am researching my family tree. My great grandfather was married to Lura B
Fankboner. I will give you the details after the copied and pasted part of
your family tree that I have details for.
<<William A. N. SMITH * REFN: 368BEdG
Father: Jesse Franklin SMITH Mother: Elizabeth KERSEY Family 1: Lura B.
FANKBONER
1. Ara SMITH >>

Lura B Fankboner was born November 14, 1867 in Indiana. Her parents were
from Ohio. According to the 1900 census in Champaign, Illinois, she had been
married to Marion F Tackett for ten years by that time. Ara R is listed as a
son of the couple; it states that he was born in July of 1892 in Illinois.
Lura had three sons with Marion F: William Clarence Tackett (October 25, 1897
-- April 27, 1958), Marvin Francis Tackett (about 1900 -- September 7, 1971),
and Walker Wayne Tackett (about 1901 -- 1963). The Tackett sons were all
born in Champaign. Marion F was a real estate agent and apparently somewhat
well off; my father said he left $250, 000, which was a lot of money back
then. Marion F died in Chicago1920 and is buried at Acacia Cemetery in
Illinois. The three Tackett sons relocated to Califoria either separately or
together in the 1930's. Lura died July 7, 1951 in San Bernardino, CA and was
also buried at Acacia Cemetery.

Until we got a copy of the census, no surviving family members knew of the exi
stence of Ara R. The census records state that he was "at school." Some
children on the same page are listed as "at school" too, but most are listed
as students. Perhaps he was in a boarding school???

This is all the information I have about Lura B and Ara R. I do have a lot
more about the Tackett sons and descendents. Walker Wayne was my grandfather.
