Adam Walden Thoreau Smelley b. (2?) April 1891, never married, d. May 6, 1912 (T.B.) near Willard, N.M. on the train "the night before" his mother died.


These records are perplexing as they indicate that the Smelleys died at Talladega rather than on the train in New Mexico as previously reported. It is thought that these records were generated in Talladega County at the time that their deaths were reported back in Talladega County.
