Smith, all of Austin; grandfa-
ther, W. J. Steward of San An-
gelo.
As stated last week Mr.
Smith was killed instantly Mon-
day afternoon, February 16,
1959, while at work on the
Riverside High School building
on the outskirts of East Austin.
The collapse of the crane
boom killed three workmen, the
huge boom buckled and fell
on the trio. The bodies were
badly mangled. The impact was
so great that it crushed the
heavy construction forms of the
school’s foundation.
The tragic event cast a pall
of gloom over many household-
ers and numerous relatives.
Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Canon
accompanied their daughter, to
Rockwood on her sad mission.
Her brother, Bruce, also rel-
atives of the Smith family at-
tended the final rites.
Returning home Mrs. Smith
and two little ones will continue
to make their home at 4414
Merle Drive, Austin.
The floral tributes were
many, very beautiful and varied
and breathed a fragrant mes-
sage of sympathy in the family’s
tragic and shocking bereave-
ment.

ner and daughter of Shiner,
Mr. and Mrs. George Machart
and daughter of Hallettsville,
