About William Stringfellow Hancorn-Smith

William Hancorn-Smith was a pallbearer at the funeral of Cecil John Rhodes. His daughter, Daisy was hanged for the murder of her son Rhodes Cecil Cowle. Daisy was also suspected of killing two of her husbands.

Observation: (John Walsh) William could not have been a pallbearer, he died 4 years before Cecil John Rhodes. I agree with John Walsh. I am Ken MacLachlan, and I am William's great great grandson.
