Buried next to Peter SMICE is his wife, Elizabeth Parks SMICE. Elizabeth was born May 24, 1807; location unknown, probably Washington County, MD. Her parents were Thomas PARKS and Elizabeth ROOT. Elizabeth Parks married Peter Smice June 27, 1824 in Hagerstown, Washington County, MD. Ten children are known to be the result of this marriage. Elizabeth and Peter moved their family to Ogle County, IL in 1848. Elizabeth died October 3, 1849 of what the records called "Bilious Cholic, sick one day." Elizabeth Parks Smice is my great great grandmother.
