DEATH, An event which stirred the residents of Smith's Mill occurred on Wednesday last, when Mr Thomas Flint, one of the earliest settlers of this township, passed away. Deceased was one of the best known men of the district, having been in the service of the Railway Department for 26 years, and having charge of the length of line from Bellevue to Smith's Mill. For a period of over 20 years he resided in Smith's Mill, and was widely known and respected for his geniality and thoroughness. Mr. Flint was a native of Yorkshire, and came to this State over 30 years ago. About a week previous to his death he contracted an attack of pneumonia, which, in spite of the attention of the medical adviser and those who nursed him—Mesdames Burkenshaw, Clatworthy, and Tillbrook, Messrs W. Snowden and Martin—proved fatal deceased passing peacefully away about 11 30 a.m. on Wednesday. The employers of the township stopped their work in order to enable. their employees to attend the funeral, a good number taking advantage of the opportunity to show their respect. The funeral took place on Thursday, and previous to leaving the house an appropriate address was given by Mr. A. J. Wyle, who referred to the faithfulness of deceased in his work, as testified to by the heads of the departments, and to his generosity, which was spontaneous and free. Thomas Flint left a wife and eight children. Wife Caroline died 20 February 1932 at Northam, Western Australia. She was buried at Midland, Western Australia.
