The following year he married Julia Westmoreland, they would have eight children.In 1871, Smith Crumley, and his family, including his mother and father, and two brothers and one sister, traveled by covered wagon to Colorado territory as part of what would become known as,'The Georgia Colony'. They would settle into land in and around Le Veta, Colorado. In 1877, Smith, Julia, and their children returned to Georgia and built a place along Spoil Cane Creek to live out their lives. Smith Crumley became minister of the Chattahoochee Methodist Church, the same church that would be featured in the 1952 film, 'I`d Climb The Highest Mountain.' According to his state pension forms, witnessed by C. C. Allen, M. L. Vandiver, and J. J. Westmorleand, Smith Crumley suffered in his old age from rhuematism, of which first afflicted him on picket duty near the North Carolina coast, early in the war, while a private in the 24th Georgia. Julia died in 1919. Smith Crumley died in 1932 and is buried in the Chattahoochee Methodist Churchyard in Robertstown, Georgia. He was the last full-time gatekeeper of the Unicoi Turnpike.
