MR. T. R. SMITH.
Mr. Thomas Richard Smith, who died at his residence, 'Crossfell,' Murray Bridge, on September 21, was the second son of Mr. Charles Smith, of Golden Grove, where he was born. When he was ten years of age his family moved to Strathalbyn, and a year later to Paskeville, then called Green's Plains. In 1877 the family went to Gum Flat and were some of the earliest settlers there. Mr. Smith married a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Page, of Lullington Farm, near Minlaton. In 1886 Mr. Smith took his family to Broken Hill, where they lived for nineteen years. On their return to South Australia they lived at Athelstone and Mount Lofty, and when land was opened up at Montieth Mr. Smith took up selections. Finally he retired to Murray Bridge. At eighteen years of age Mr. Smith joined the Oddfellows Lodge and was a member when he died. For forty-eight years he was a member of the Methodist Church. He had reached his seventieth year. A widow and three sons are left.
