Olive Emily Laws Part 2

House at Albion
The houses they were living in were rented houses so it was only a short while when the Hill End house was sold. They shifted to Wooloowin and in 5 months this house also was sold so they decided to buy a house and settled at Store St. Albion near the Railway line.
Bert Wood

She went to Eagle Junction School. She sat for the Scholarship Exam but failed so she was sent to do a business course at Stott & Hoars (shorthand, typing and book-keeping). From there she gained a job at T.C. Beirne typing country orders. She and Eileen worked at T.C. Beirne and this didn't work out so she gained another job in a warehouse but wasn't there long when her mother took sick and her father asked her to stay at home to look after her mother and do the household chores.
 Through a friend of her father’s suggesting his brother drive their car to Redcliffe for them, she met her husband to be, Herbert Charles Wood fondly known as Bert.
