• Memo*: Ruth was a very intelligent lady who was not given the opportunity to develop her many skills when she was a young person. She started work as book keeper in Boan's where she was highly thought of but unfortunately her father, who had abandoned a very good career in metallurgy to take up a Group Settlement Block in Middlesex, demanded that she go home & work the block. It was hard dreary work for all the girls, with dairy cows and an orchard and very little money. She was a most capable young woman - skilled in needlecraft, cooking, home making and also in a leadership role in her community. At 24 she was the youngest CWA secretary in the district. When she lived in Jardee she was a mentor to many young mothers. After Don died she stayed as matron at St Christophers and the many death notices & cards received by the family were testimony to the work that she had done there over the years.¹
