Death notice declassified correction:
Public death notice indicates "a step son Austin of California".

The truth be known, Austin Smith, by birth record states Cullen's son is Austin born in Graysville, Alabama and not California. We believe the second surviving wife Hattie Rochester with other families may have been hiding the birth and marriage for a few years from the public because of multiple marriage conflicts, for personal reasons, and the protection of children as in Austin's future wellbeing or best interest.

Austin's Birth Certificate from Cullen's second spouse with Hattie Lucile Rochester-Smith (1908 - 1987) is Austin Eugene Smith both are linked below. One of Austin's Military records has Cullen's birth year in error 1883.
