Family

This is a picture of my family as we looked around 1940. Going from left to right on the front row we first have my brother Lewis (in the circle - who was serving his mission in Germany and Austria at the time the picture was taken) followed by Rynolds, Father (Joseph Fielding Smith) stepmother (Jessie Evans Smith), and Joseph. On the back row we have the sisters, Emily (Myers), Naomi (Brewster), Lois (Fife), Josephine (Reinhardt), Juliana (Hart), and Amelia (McConkie), and then my brother Doug. I am the little guy betwen Doug and Joseph with a row of my own.

The Family



I have included this picture because it relates to my heritage and the blessings that have been passed down to me. At the top of the stairs is the Prophet Joseph Smith, brother to my Great Grandfather Hyrum Smith. Near the bottom of the stair case is my Grandfather, Joseph F. Smith. Seated in front, second from left, is my father Joseph Fielding Smith.
