Marriage, of Dimitri George Poulos, (Tzortzopoulos), Hlihlis, Karavas, Greece, and Goulburn, New South Wales, and Athena Connell, Attika, Greece, and Goulburn NSW, on the 16th June 1926. The wedding took place in Sydney. Photograph and life history of Dimitri's father, George, and mother, Olympia, Karavas Dimitri left Karavas, Kythera in 1922(?). The circumstances of his life were tragic. He established himself in Goulburn, where he owned a Refreshment Room in the main street. Dimitri died as the result of injuries sustained in a car accident in 1936. He was travelling by car to go and see business he was wanting to purchase, in a neighbouring town, (West Wylong?). My father recalls that a fellow Greek in the car with him was severely injured - but recovered. This person later established a shop in Dubbo, NSW. Mrs Anastasia (Tassia) Varvaressos (nee, Zervis), later to "adopt" second eldest son Haralambos (Harry)- recalls that 2-3 persons were killed in this accident. Goulburn newspaper reports would establish the exact toll of the car accident. Letter of Athena (Tzortzo)Poulos to mother-in-law Olympia, explaining the circumstances of Dimitri's death James is buried in Goulburn Cemetery.
