1064 Keith's mother died shortly after his second birthday and he went to live with his aunt (Louisa Franks), uncle and their two single daughters until he was old enough to start school, when he came home to live with his father, two sisters and elder brother.
Keith had a pleasant personality, was a bright likeable person, popular among friends and family. He did well at school but, as was fairly common in those days, at the completion of his primary schooling, he came home to work on the family farm.
Keith played cricket for some years with the Pinery Cricket Club and was a useful player. He was keen on fox-hunting and spotlight shooting and was a better-than-average shot. He was a good driver, loved cars and competed successfully in several local car trials.
With Marjorie's help he established a comfortable home and very neat garden. Keith was a good worker for local affairs but was not one to seek office, although he was an office-bearer with the Church of England in Owen for some time. He had always appeared fit and healthy, but at the age of 42 he passed away after a short illness. His sudden passing shocked the family and district. His funeral was well-attended, showing the esteem in which he was held. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)

1085 Know as Melva. At 14 Melva lived in Mildura. Once they went to Piangal near Swan Hill. They had trotters. (she is still interested in trotting). They set up a Cafe at Meertine serving 200 meals a day. They went from Ouyen to Piangal, camping overnight. Floods crossed the road. They got all of the women to the other side of the river and a bull charged the trotter. Her father shot the bull (which was a crime as it was not legal to shoot any one else's cattle).
Piangal was a great fishing place and on a direct line to Loolnan, a soldiers' settlement, by train. They were given land but it was sandy soil. She can remember a young wife with a little baby who died from dehydration. Her father made the coffin for the baby.
Melva went to Mildura High School by "drag" (six horses pulled a covered dray). She recalled stealing some oranges and being made to walk five miles home as punishment. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992) 
Smith, Alice Melvina Pearl (I5641)
 
1086 Known as Joan.
Joan was born in Oodla Wirra. Her father had been transferred there from Warnertown about twelve months earlier. Oodla Wirra was like many tiny towns in Australia at that time: sadly most, including Oodla Wirra, are now gone. The little town died when the new railway line by-passed it in later years. The town centre was the General Store, with Post Office, a wood and iron Hall, with tennis courts, a wood and iron Church, the Railway Station and house, two rows of houses for the railway workers and the School and house just across the sandy creek on a slight hill. There was a little bridge over the creek, for use, when the creek ran after heavy rain.

The winters were very cold, ice on the water buckets, stiff dish cloths and so on; there were three falls of snow in the years they were there.

They spent the war years there and yet to them they were happy years. It was a big occasion when Wirth's Circus special train stopped there for water on the way to Broken Hill; the children were all taken to the train to see the animals, if possible. Another big night was when they had a travelling picture show come to show a film in the little Hall.

Joan remembers the day the Armistice was signed. Her mother and she had been staying at Willow Lodge, and her Uncle Hart, who owned a car, drove them back to Codla Wirra, via Wilmington and Melrose and as they passed through the little towns word had just come through by telegraph that the war had ended and all the children were being let out of school and the town flags were flying.

In the Christmas holidays at the end of 1919, her father was transferred to Whyalla and they were very sad to leave Oodla Wirra. Bill went ahead of his family who followed him on a tug boat from Port Pirie. They were very seasick on the way over; her young brother was only three months old at the time.

Whyalla, then, would only be described as a frontier town; it was so isolated that the only access was by boat or over rough roads to port Augusta, across the gulf by punt. The tug left Port Pirie twice a week with mail and supplies for the town. It was so different from Oodla Wirra that the two girls, Hazel and Joan went through what might be called "Culture shock". They couldn't believe it when they saw girls fighting like boys in the playground.

Their father was always a good teacher but it took him some time to get the school under control. The children soon had a name for him "Old Whiskers", Many odd and funny things happened in Whyalla that could not have happened anywhere else.

Noel and Joan lived through the depression years in Whyalla. Bill was not out of work, and with the help of the Company that ran the town, there were no food queues and no-one went hungry. The young ones enjoyed life, even if money was short; there was the beach in the summer, tennis, dances ( six pence a time) and always the pictures, as they were called then, on a Saturday night. They could also go horse-riding.
As the town grew, new buildings were added to the school and assistants sent from Adelaide.

Water was always a problem, as there were only rain tanks; the Company houses had evaporated water laid on, undrinkable, but it could be used for baths and so on. Bill locked the school tanks at the end of each school day.

He was transferred to Grange School in Adelaide in the holidays at the end of 1932. Joan and Noel were married January 1933, just before her parents left Whyalla. She spent the first five years of her married life at Iron Knob; then they went to Woollongong, New South Wales, where they have lived ever since. Their life has been a mixture of good and not-so-good years, like many Australians. They visited England when Noel retired but were glad to come home to Australia again.
