A very old identity of Swan Bay, Richmond River, in the person of Mrs. Charlotte Smith, passed away last week., Mrs. Smith journeyed to Lismore on Wednesday, en route for the Tweed, where she intended paying a visit to her daughter. She stayed with her son, Mr. Charles Smith, and seemed in her usual good spirits, but on Wednesday night she suddenly took ill, and eventually passed away at 4 o'clock next morning, the cause being heart failure. Mrs. Smith had a family of 19 children, 12 of whom survive her. She also reared the children of two other families — the Boysters and the Chapmans . There are living 90 grandchildren and 123 great-grandchildren. There can be no doubt that this is record for the Richmond. Mrs. Smith came to the Richmond in 1878, over 40 years ago, and had lived at Swan Bay all that time. Her husband passed away some few months ago.
