From The Irwin Index newspaper, Friday 20 December 1957:
Late Howard Smith Held an Undimmed Faith in the State
"In the North Midlands District Hospital at Three Springs on Friday last there passed away after a comparatively brief illness a man who was directly connected with a stage of development of this State whish is very rapidly assuming the shadowy form of history known as the "Pioneering Days". Eighty one years ago Howard Brydon Smith was born in Kapunda, a small town in South Australia, where he was a friend and contemporary - albeit much younger - of Sidney Kidman, later to become knighted and famous as the "Cattle King" of Australia. The Smith family owned a fine and very valuable property near Kapunda, which however did not contain sufficient scope for a large family of six boys, some of whom were thus prompted to follow their fortunes in other states. The grandfather and founder of the family was still living when Howard was born in 1876, he being one of that courageous band of pioneer adventurers who played an important part in the founding of the infant colony of South Australia. As a young man Howard Smith entered the service of Elder, Smith and Company Limited, but was induced by Kidman to abandon that career for a life on the open plains of the far north. Kidman found for him a position on the Victoria River Station, a cattle property in the north of Western Australia and situated - as the name implies - on the Victoria River some distance from Wyndham. The experience on this property, which had but recently been purchased by Kidman, made an indelible impression on the mind of a young man who ever afterwards regarded that northern area as the most fertile land in Australia.
Cattle. He was equally impressed with the prolific fecundity of the mobs of cattle ranging those endless plains and which multiplied and increased with such rapidity that the management was never able to form even an approximate estimate of the number of cattle the station carried. This fact, however, was a matter of little consequence since the difficulties and expense of marketing were so great that only an infinitesimal number of the whole were ever offered for sale. Ill health forced Howard Smith to return to the more temperate climate of the southern parts, and after a holiday in his native State he sought further knowledge of the sheep raising industry in and around the Murchison, in which areas conditions and environment were entirely new to him. He accepted a position as bookkeeper-supervisor on Gabyon Station, situated near Wurarga, and then owned by the late Mr John Hearn, father of Mrs J. McAleer.
Pastoral Knowledge. As Mr Hearn's representative, he gained a deep knowledge of the pastoral industry in every part if this State, and in 1910 he became the manager of the property known as Woopenatty in the Arrino-Yandanooka district. He retained this position for nearly fifty years, during which period he acquired a property of his own know as Earra. Howard Smith was an excellent judge of stock - both cattle and sheep - as might be expected from his vast experience, and was in his young days an expert horseman. Though conservative in some ways, he was a man of wide vision with undimmed faith in the future of this State in particular and Australia as a whole. He will be mourned by a rapidly diminishing number of friends of an almost vanished generation, and by a much larger circle of friends and acquaintances who knew him not as a pioneer but only in his later years as an elderly man of happy memories and kindly disposition. The funeral of the late Mr Smith took place at Three Springs on Saturday last with the last rites being read at the graveside by the Rev. F. C. Armstrong, of Three Springs."
