Kerry, I don't know if this Wm Smith is related to Isabel, but his son still lives in Yack area in a retirement village . Contact me off list if you want the address. I've been to the place where the coach depot in Yack was, very interesting. Ronda, thanks for this. I gather this is the one uncle saw a few weeks ago? The fact Wm got the mail contract is news to me, so I appreciate the piece. This was happening at the time the company was winding up. regards Denise > Thanks for the snippet Rhonda.. > > Denise: I am wondering if this Smith is related to Isabel Smith who married > Maurice Ellen in 1894, that worked for C&C ? > > Kerry > > > > > Yackandandah Times October 7th 1921 > > Yackandandah Livery Stable > W.Smith begs to announce that he has purchased the local branch of the old > established firm of Crawford & Co. mail contractors and Livery and Bait (?) > stables.
