Author Avis Turner in her third book tells about history along the Smith River, which she and her family lived in Patrick and Henry counties in Virginia.
Avis Turner was my high school classmate and has written a book consisting of research and personal remembrances. I especially enjoyed learning new things about her family and my old neighborhood. When I came across the name "Josiah Booth Conner" I remembered that his name appeared in my genealogy research which means that Avis's husband, Elbert Conner Turner, was my 3rd cousin 1x removed.
