William Smith (shearer)
William "Deucem" Smith (1896–1947) was known as one of the most talented sheep shearers in the world. His character and skill with the shears earned him a reputation as the greatest shearer of the first half of the twentieth century.
==Biography==
Deucem was born of the Muruwari Aboriginal tribe in Bourke, New South Wales, Australia in 1896.
He sheared throughout New South Wales and southern Queensland between 1912 and 1947.
He spent much of his professional life working the shearing sheds around Top Naas, Lanyon, Tuggeranong and Uriarra.
Deucem had five children: Bill, Val, Shirley, Larry and Gordon. All of his boys became shearers, taught by their father.
The nickname ''Deucem'' was coined in 1912 with the (successful) declaration that he would "deuce () all the back-bent, bagbooted jumbuck barbers" at the Dunlop shearing shed at Darling.
