| Note | Stan was born at Hopetoun (Vic) in 1901. Stan with his older sister Daisy lived on with their father after their mother Maude's death and then took over the farm after the death of his father in 1922. As a young man, Stan smoked plugs of tobacco in his pipe, and would have bets with his mates at the local dances that he could down a bottle of plonk and still dance his girlfriend, Babe OVERALL, around the hall without stepping off a floorboard line. He usually collected his bet before staggering off. After he married Babe he put his pipe on their mantlepiece and never smoked or drank again in his life. Stan married Babe OVERALL in 1926 and they continued living and raising their family at Hopetoun. They farmed at Hopetoun for many years until the late forties. The family then sold and moved to Geelong (Vic) into a mixed business. They shifted to Moama (NSW) onto a sheep and grazing property in 1949 when wool was booming, and after selling out for a profit, shifted back to Geelong, where they had retained a house. The land was where Stan's heart was, so when they heard about times being good in the horticultural field they purchased a vineyard property up on the Murray River at Wood Wood (Vic). After a very wet year when the dried fruit was all ruined, Stan decided to buy a property at Tooleybuc (NSW). With two sons both marrying and looking for farming opportunities he also purchased another fruit block at Nyah West (Vic) and some mallee land at Chinkapook (Vic). Ray and Max took over the properties, although Max later decided to return to Geelong. Stan and Babe also returned to Geelong when they retired. They lived there alongside their daughter Lois. |
