The Daily Review, June 27, 1929 
"Pioneer College Chief, J. D. Smith, Crosses Divide.

Headed Washington and Livermore Schools Before 1890.

Most of the pioneers of this vicinity will learn with regret of the death of 
James Dale Smith, formerly principal of the Livermore college, which was 
attended by many from the Hayward community in the years beftween 1875 and 
1890.  Mr. Smith died at the Masonic home at Decoto Wednesday, his passing 
mourned by many old timers.

Mr. Smith came to Contra Costa county as a child with his parents soon after 
1850.  Before 1875 he was principal of the Washington college at Irvington.  
For the following 15 years he was principal of the Livermore college, which he 
owned and managed.  J. D. Armstrong of Hayward was his pupil in 1882 and 1883.  
Mr. Smith for more than 50 years was a member of Eden Masonic lodge at San 
Leandro.  After 1890 he became interested in farming, owned much land in this 
county and was fond of blooded horses and cattle.

Funeral services for Mr. Smith, in charge of the Sorensen Brothers' mortuary, 
have not been arranged as yet." END
