He enGaged 14 men to help with the CLearing of the land. Several years later he sold, and brought a farm at Alma, not far from his home town. For 20 years he farmed the 230 acres, and to support his growing family, share farming and contract work became necassary until in 1924 a holding of 2,014 acres was purchased in the Murray WalLee, at Nadda. There was plenty of work here for himself and his six sons, and 21 years later, when his son Michael took the responsibility of the property, he and his wife retired to the City, but not for long. Until their deaths in 1955 and 1958 they shared and were cared for, in the home of their daughter Dympna and her husband at Nadda, Fords and Gawler. George Friedrich died at the last named, aged almost 81, and was laid to rest with his dear wife in the Centennial Park Cemetery, Adelaide.
