Village news writer dies, 90

One of the country’s oldest village correspondents has died, aged 90.

David Smith had been supplying news from Llangyndeyrn to the Carmarthen Journal for more than 50 years.

He was a vital part of village life and kept the village shop until his retirement in the early 1960s.

He was also a regular churchgoer and an honorary churchwarden at the village church.

His other roles in local life included being secretary of the Pensioners’ Association and being a Friend of Glangwill Hospital.
