The funeral took place on July 3rd, 1923, in his 74th year of the late Glaud Storrie LINDSAY. Mr and Mrs. LINDSAY, sen., came from Canada over two years ago on a prolonged visit to their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. R.C.A. LINDSAY. Prior to going to Canada 20 years ago to farm Mr. LINDSAY was for many years Traffic MANAGER of Clyde Iron Works, Glasgow, and was churchwarden of St. John's Episcopal Church, Glasgow, an old church which the late Mr. W.E. GLADSTONE was largely instrumental in building. He was also a foundation member of the Glasgow branch of the English Church Men's Society. He was always a strong Freemason, and a life member of Maryhill Lodge, S.C. During the comparatively short time Mr. LINDSAY has been in the Richmond district he had endeared himself by his genial disposition and courteous manner to a large circle of friends, as we testified by the many who attended the last sad rites. He is survived by his widow, three sons and three daughters and 16 grand children - all in Canada except his widow and his eldest son and family - Mr. R.C.A. LINDSAY, headmaster, Richmond Government School. A keen churchman and one of the vestry of St. Mary's Church, and a member of the local branch of the E.C.M.S., the night prior to the burial the body was taken to the church he loved and served so well. There in the chancel, with the beams from a waning moon filtering through the stained glass window behind the altar and the feeble glimmer of glittering candles, he spend as he desired his last hours above ground in hallowed surroundings. The first part of the funeral service was fully choral, and beautifully rendered by the choir and joined in by a representative congregation, which included many from the Presbyterian and Wesleyan Churches. The Vicar, the Rev. E.W. BIBBY, thoughtfully had the deceased's favourite hymn sung, "Abide with me." Miss SIMES presided at the organ. Among those who attended the obsequies were the Magistrate (Mr. H. LUGG), Rev. W. Burnes THOMSON, the District Surgeon (Dr. CARTE), Attorneys A. COOPER, R.A. MARWICk and H.G. NOURSE, the Chairman of the local bank (Mr. E. SINK), the manager of the National Bank (Mr. O. PEARSE), Dr. MACINTOSH, Rev. Mr. DERRY, Captain ROSE, Mr. G.W.

GEORGE SMITH ------x------ >From Our Own Correspondent ------x------ IXOPO, July 7. The death occurred at "Smithfield," Springvale, on June 25th of Helen Crichton SMITH, the wife of Mr. George SMITH. The deceased lady had been ailing for some time, but the end came rather suddenly and unexpectedly. Mrs. SMITH came to this country from Scotland close on thirty years ago to join her husband, Mr. George SMITH, who had previously settled in the Colony. She lived for the most part on the farm at Smithfield, and during the years that her husband owned the local blacksmith's shop at Ixopo, worked the farm for him. Latterly, however, Mr. SMITH disposed of this wagonmaker's business and resumed farming operations. The deceased was well known and highly respected throughout the Springvale and Highflats districts. She was of a very cheery disposition, and her demise will be a great loss to the community. Much sympathy is felt with her sorrowing husband and children in their great loss. Of her family there are six. The Misses H. and J. SMITH and Messrs. David, George, Frank and William, all of whom are resident in this district and engaged in various occupations. The funeral took place at Smithfield in a private burying ground in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends. The service was conducted by the Rev. R.B. DAVIES, missionary in charge of the Anglican Mission at Springvale, and at the conclusion of the service the Rev. S. le Grove SMITH, the Wesleyan minister at Ixopo, spoke a few words testifying to the respect and esteem in which the deceased, her husband and family were held in the district.
