Hamlyn, on 16 May 1880. They had five children: Lillian "Lily" Nellie Smith, Gertrude "Gertie" Smith, Elizabeth Hamlyn Smith, Grace Hamlyn Smith, Willie Reardon Smith (26 May 1887 – 24 November 1950) and Douglas Smith (10 April 1894 – 6 June 1961). Honours As a result of his philanthropy, Reardon Smith was made a freeman of the city of Cardiff. He was deputy lieutenant of Glamorganshire. He was created a baronet in the 1920 Birthday Honours in recognition of shipping services during the First World War. Although, at the time, Lloyd George was selling baronetcies for £15,000 and Cardiff had the reputation of being the "city of dreadful knights", there is no conclusive evidence that Reardon Smith paid for his. He was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son, Willie. In 1932, Reardon Smith was made a member of the Worshipful Company of Shipwrights (which brought with it the Freedom of the City of London). Legacy There is a bust of him in Cardiff City Hall. Footnotes References Obituary, The Times, 24 December 1935.
