Abstract
OXFORD, Miss. - Preserving the past is often a relay effort from one generation to the next. Such was the case for former Memphian Nancy Martin, who has donated a collection of artifacts circa 1800s to the University of Mississippi. The Smith Collection, including original land deeds signed by two former presidents and Civil War love letters, belonged to Martin's uncle James Warders Smith Jr. They were found at his Memphis home following his death there Jan. 7, 2006, at age 80.
