Married Florence Ann May Parrish on 14th March 1906. Reg.
Murwillumbah. N.S.W. From the book of Stan Thomas, page 96
the home of George and May Smith, at Clunes was like a second home and
still is a stop over place with their son, Ernie, who married Edith
Pearson. George Smith attended Albion Park school and later married
May Parrish of Foxground. He farmed at Mullumbimby and Federal, before
making his home at Clunes, where he followed his trade as a carpenter.
Clunes has a very historic background and, although it only reached
the proportion of a small village, it was generally referred to as the
"Holy City" and still has three churches. It was the mecca of the
Loyal Orange Lodge annual march and celebrations, while Paddy mcNiff
conducted a bakery for many years and catered for all local functions.
