George Albert Smith

On the 13th of January 1851, when they arrived at Center Creek, under the able leadership of George A. Smith, cousin of the Prophet Joseph Smith, there was a company of 116 men, and 102 wagons.
...
President George A. Smith was our president.
...
My son George was the blacksmith for that company which consisted of twenty-five families.

We were married by George Albert Smith who later became President of the Church.

Then when Duane came back, a few months later, George was called to the Western States Mission with headquarters in Denver, Colorado.I had been sick and in the hospital, unable to work on account of my health.People thought we couldn't possibly send him on a mission but our faith prompted us to send him.The people from Lakeside and the surrounding wards gave him a party and he received better than $500.00 to help him on his way.Being unable to work, the money came and we never had so much food in our icebox or had it so easy as when Duane and George were on their missions.My health improving, Rollin Fish was Bishop at the time, called me one evening after George had been out about a year, said that the authorities wanted George to have a car.
...
George used the car for the rest of his mission without any expense.When he came home some kids wanted to go to Robert's Ranch swimming about l5 miles on Whiteriver.On the way the transmission went out of the car and had to be towed in.George said, "Dad, what do you want me to do with the car?"I said, "I don't care, it has served its purpose."George served an honorable mission.One Sunday morning while George was on his mission, in Denver, he was in the Western States Mission, I had an idea to send Glen to Weldon Witts and Wayne Hansen's and invite them to Priesthood.They both accepted.Immediately after that invitation they both became active in the church.They immediately became Elders and took their families to the Temple.I've had great joy in the work I've done in the Church.While George was on his mission I went to work for H.L. Barnett in the White Mountains.
...
My life has been full and complete, having been born unto us four boys and four girls: Pearl the oldest, Nina the next, Harvey, Duane, George, Ida May, Sherry and Glen.
...
George, teacher of music, taught in Lakeside school for two years.Outstanding in his ability as music teacher.
...
Glen being the last one at home when things were a little more relaxed and Daddy was really proud of Glen.} George is the only one that finished off his college degree and he did it on his own, practically no help from us.Harvey had some college education did it on his own.Duane had some and he also did it on his own.
