Nairobi Forest Road cemetery - Robert Tate Smith, British, age 65, died 12/2/27

R.B. Jolley - "There is a possibility that the Tate-Smith family moved on arrival into the house at the top of 6th Avenue Parklands where it joined Mtema Road which Amelia purchased or Roy had built for their arrival. There is no doubt that Robert and Amelia were from a prestigious family, going by the furniture and heirlooms they brought out with them, including a piano. Amelia also purchased another property, half way between 3rd and 4th Avenues opposite what was eventually the High Ridge Golf Course. On arrival in Nairobi, Robert was employed at one of the Saw Mills along Sadler Street, but in a photo taken about 1920, Robert was shown standing among Telegraph Department staff with Norman Jolley his son-in-law. Unluckily Robert also had a drinking problem, and died 12 February 1927 and is buried in the City Park Cemetery[actually, Forest Rd.], where eventually Amelia was buried in 1937 and where son Roy also lies [actually, he is in a war cemetery in Dar es Salaam]."
