Historical information

Mary trained as a teacher in Adelaide in 1912. She taught at several schools in the south east of South Australia. She taught briefly at the Avenue Range School in December 1912, then at the hundred of Duffield School (just north of Kingston SE) in 1913. She then taught at Mount Schank (near Mount Gambier) and finally at Coomandook in the Mallee. Her fiance, John Charles (Charlie) Smith, had served in the A.I.F. in the Middle East during WWI. After his return to Australia Mary retired from teaching at the end of the 1919 school year, moved home to Kingston SE, and she and Charlie were married on 25 March 1920.
