Letter: More about the "Doug Smith" house

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 5, 2019 - 2:47pm

Icon viewers:
I just finished reading an article on Google featuring Dan and Lauren Newkirk.

Bluffton and "old Doug Smith house" caught my attention.

That would be to us the old Harry and Hilda Klay home. Doug married their
daughter, Rosemary, and later inherited the home. Harry was my mother's cousin.
We hold a Stepleton/Klay reunion every year at the Sportsman's Club in
Bluffton.
