Miss Catherine (Kate) Saffin, nee' Annett, took a "fancy" to a young groom she met at Wallacedale.
She married George Saffin at Wallacedale, Victoria on the 10 May 1911.

Following George's death, Kate continued to operate the Butcher Shop at Wallacedale with the assistance of an employee and her family.
