    2. [S216] Memoirs: C.S. Smith, Unpublished, copies held by various members of the Smith family.
      Phil, the eldest of the siblings, grew up in his own little world, a rather shy person who developed a long lasting friendship with a couple of pals from the neighbourhood. After his schooling, he found himself a job in a steel factory or foundry sweeping the black dust around the "open hearth." He stayed with the foundry over the many years, no doubt in some other job but in the same environment that eventually took its toll on his health.
