SMITH.--On the 11th November, at Toowoomba, Queensland, George Henry, third son of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. Smith, Mayfield, Daylesford; loved brother of Mrs. J. Wood, Will, Frank, Mrs. J. H. Smith, Joseph, Charles, and Mrs.E. G. Robinson.

Townsville Daily Bulletin 16th Nov 1928
AYR NOTES
Monday also brought the news by telegram of the unexpected death of Mr. George Henry Smith, at Toowoomba. Mr. Smith was a farmer at Airdmillan and for some years was in partnership with his brother, Mr. R. Smith, who died about a year ago. The late Mr Smith had been in indifferent health since his brother's decease, and had been an inmate of the District Hospital. He went to Toowoomba a few months ago for special treatment and the last report was very reassuring. The end was very sudden as the news of his death came as a great shock to his wife and family. The body is being brought from Toowoomba by the mail train arriving early on Friday morning and the funeral will move from the Ayr Presbyterian Church the same afternoon.
