Erlistoun Barr Smith 1868-1913 was one of seven daughters of the wealthy SA businessman and philanthropist Robert Barr Smith and his wife Joanna. 'Erlistoun proved the most problematic. Joanna especially found her moody wilful and argumentative. She loved music but was troubled by increasing deafness. Joanna took her daughter to Germany when she was 21 hoping to encourage her to study music and German only to discover that nothing could be done about her hearing and that she would soon become deaf. On their return to England Erlistoun appears to have suffered a breakdown followed by some mysterious dishonourable behaviour which both enraged and shamed her parents . She returned to Australia and in 1898 at the age of 30 married the Adelaide University Professor of Philosophy and English Literature William Mitchell bore two children and sadly died in her mid-forties from tuberculosis' University of Adelaide website.
