A hand shake and his word. The rules that this Texas Hill Country farmer and rancher lived by! He lived what he learned from his father and mother, John Walton and Clara Levada Smith.

Born December 03, 1918, at Rough Hollow just east of Johnson City, Texas. Crossed over to His Heavenly Father July 17, 2008, at Round Mountain, Texas. It was at this home, that he and his wife Mary Ivy Brown Smith lived and raised two daughters, Mary Evonne Brooks and Sherry Levada Jenkins. Lest we forget his faithful friend and companion “Missy” the “dachshund“.

The “Peach Man,” whom many knew him by, was a proud title. He never met a stranger and made many life friends along the way.

Love of the land, family and friends was in all aspects of his life.

A “Proud Texan”, his family settled in Blanco County in the mid 1800‘s. Born and raised in Blanco County until his death. At his death he was 89 years, 7 months and 14 days.

Preceded in death by his loving wife of 64 plus years, Mary Ivy; and grandson and namesake George Montgomery (Monty) Anderson.
