She was 5th of 7 children listed in the census and was 8 years old at the time. Smithy had 3 sisters and three brothers still at home when the census was taken. Mary E, wife of Dr C G Wyche, was another daughter of J W Rouse, apparently married at the time of the 1860 census. Dr Cyril G Wyche was asked to stay in Whiteville rather than go into the CSA during the Civil War because of the shortage of physicians. |
