Rainey, Smith are grand marshals

“Long Live Cowboys,” is the theme of this year’s Days of ‘49 celebration, and LaWana Rainey and Morris Smith have been selected by the committee as co-grand marshals.
Morris Smith, the son of Chot and Gladys Smith, is a descendent of Jordan L. Smith, who came to the Shell Valley in 1884, when farmers and ranchers were settling on Shell Creek.
Morris was “raised” by Pauline Tatlock and Gen Hinman because his mother, Gladys, was the owner-operator of the Modern Beauty Shop on Greybull Avenue, and his father, Chot was working long hours on their ranch.
