Description
Garrett Odell Smoot wearing his U.S. Army uniform and seated beside his wife, Katherine Marie (Fadeley) Smoot.
The couple applied for a marriage license on February 3, 1945, in Washington D.C., and on 23 February 1945, Garrett enlisted in the Army. This photograph was probably taken soon after that.
Garrett grew up on a farm in Saumsville, near Maurertown, one of at least nine children born to Roy Odell (1890-1964) and Della Irene (Bly) (1894-1961) Smoot.
Kay (Fadeley) Smoot was the daughter of Lloyd Richard (1895-1953) and Ada Marie (Didawick) (1893-1979) Fadeley. Like her husband, she grew up in a farming family. Her family’s farm was near Edinburg. Kay graduated from Edinburg High School in 1940.
Garrett still lived with his family near Maurertown when he married in 1945. His wife, Kay, lived at 1625 16th St. in Washington, D.C. In the 1950 census, the couple lived on N. Rolfe Street in Arlington, where Garrett worked as an upholsterer in a retail shop.
When their son, Larry Allen Smoot (1951-1984), was born they still lived in Arlington, Virginia. By 1957, however, when their daughter, Kathy Ann Smoot (1957-2021) was born, they had moved back to Shenandoah County. Garrett worked in a machine manufacturing plant.
When Kay’s husband died unexpectedly of a heart attack in his forties, the family lived in the Narrow Passage Creek area near Edinburg.
