Kennedy, Eliza (I7908)
 
603 Eliza was born in the Crow's Nest near Inman Valley, the eldest child of William and Martha Tucker. She started school at the Inman Valley School, completing her schooling at Kybunga School in 1882. For some reason she was re-enrolled in 1886, when she would have been 16 years old. Eliza worked on her parents' farm, being adept at any task asked of her. One of her first cousins, (Friend Hawkins, later to become Rev, Friend Hawkins) and Eliza became very close friends. This friendship later blossomed into love for each other and they wanted to marry, but both sets of parents thought they were too closely related and the couple were dissuaded.
Later, during a "Tea meeting" which was held at Woodlands Methodist Church, Eliza met her future husband, Joseph Clarke, who had also had a broken love affair. They married about a year later when Eliza was 20 and Joseph 35. They travelled to Sydney for the ceremony, where Joseph's older brother Alfred was a Baptist Minister at Paddington. After they were married the couple began clearing the property at Kybunga. They named it "Zulu Farm" because Joseph had spen time in South Africa during the Boer War.
Eliza and Joseph reared their five children in a close-knit family circle and they were endowed with a strong Christian faith and acceptance of the saying the "hard work didn't kill anyone". Eliza was devoted to her children and her grandchildren, and was proud of every achievement they made. Eliza worked on the farm alongside her husband, but was equally adept at household chores; her family still remember the smell of home-made bread being cooked in her wood stove. She welcomed everyone to her home.
For the Coronation of George V in 1911, Eliza and Joseph Journeyed by boat back to England to enjoy the festivities. While there, Eliza Became interested in the Suffragettes led by Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst and marched for the cause. She recorded details in a diary of her trip.
Eliza was strong-willed, proud and Christian; she was a help-mate, champion of the poor and under-dog and actively involved in community and sporting activities. She passed on to her children and Grandchildren her great love of family and family history.

606 Eliza was the Eleventh child of Robert and Hannah Marshman who married at Dilton Marsh, Wiltshire, England 5/3/1848, and sailed one month later on the ship "Sibelia", arriving at Port Adelaide 16/7/1848. Their 12 children were all born in South Australia: Frank, Henry, William, John, Emily (Mrs Trongman), Frederick, Georg, Charles, Walter, Esther Ann (Mrs March), Eliza (Mrs Tiller), and Julia (Mrs March).
Eliza attended the Grace Plains School for which one shilling per week was the charge. At 12 she received the school certificate from an Inspector indicating her education was complete. She received some musical education on the Harmonium, enabling here to be organist at Grace Plains Bible Christian Church until her marriage in 1891.
This church was in the Gawler Circuit; later it was transferred to Balaklava. Eliza often entertained the minister to lunch on Sundays. The horse was fed and watered also.
There were two incidents at Inkerman that were often spoken of; the first was an earthquake which occurred in approximately 1900 and a recurrence of it the next day at an almost identical time; The second was a strong wind that blew them in their small boat across the Gulf from Port Lorne. They were out with a friend for an afternoon sail when the sudden squall blew up. They camped the night in a wheat shed on the other side of the gulf and returned the next morning.
Owen days were spent looking after her family and working for the church. Unfortunately she suffered with severe migraine headaches which handicapped her greatly in pursuing outside interests and activities. Her last few years were spent quietly in retirement in Mallala.

OBITUARY: THE LATE MRS. RICHARD TILLER

Rev. S.H. Dorman Writes:
Our church has suffered a definite loss through the death at Mallala on 75h October of Mrs. Eliza Tiller. Mrs Tiller was the widow of the late Mr Richard Tiller, who passed away suddenly in the same district about 2 years ago. One feels in connection with such losses not only the overance in each case of a valued soul with the "days beyond recall" and the closing of a worthy chapter of Christian character and service. they are also a reminder of how much we owe to those who laid the foundations of Christian family and church life in our land. Mr and Mrs Tiller were at one in their regard for the house of God and in their devotion in all things connected there in. It is sufficient to recall the obituary notice regarding Mr Tiller as published in the 'Commonwealth' of 26th November 1937, for an estimate of his character "His independence of thought, his gracious personality, quiet strength and selflessness, his regular attendance in the House of Prayer, his loyalty to his church obligations stand out as living memorials of his Christian life and service", Mrs. Tiller who was the daughter of Mr Robert Marshman learned from her mother that spirit of devotion to religion which has been so prominent a characteristic in the members of her family. Mrs Robert Marshman was herself a regular attendant at Grace Plains church. She started the tune for many years. Her daughter, the subject of this obituary, was born at Grace Plains on 4th July 1870 and married in her home. She was organist in the original Grace Plains church until her marriage to Mr Richard Tiller. There she resided for about six years more, when she and her husband moved to South Inkerman, and thence to Owen. After they had been settle here about 18 months divine service was started in the Council Chamber, and Mrs Tiller was the first to play the piano in these services. Then worship was conducted in the institute, and later the church was built. Her daughter recalls how dear the cause at Owen was to her, an attitude to no small extent due probably to the amount of work and sacrifice involved in the days in which the carting of stone etc, were voluntarily given. There are many links of connection in this circuit, particularly with Grace Plains, as it was here that she was brought up, receiving her education in the public school. Most of her life, unfortunately, she was a very great sufferer, more than many realized....
...Mrs Tiller leaves a family of three sons and two daughters. Of these Mrs A Turner and Miss Joyce Tiller, also Messrs Claud and Sid Tiller, are still in the circuit and identified with many church activities. Rev J. C Jennison and the minister of the circuit (Rev S.H. Dorman) officiated at the grave side. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)

After Taney's death of entric Fever and Pneumonia, the tree children were brought up by Fred's mother, known as Old Mother Fenton in Daysford, Victoria. In 1909 Fred decided to take the children and go to Western Australia. However, it seems that young Frederick Duncan who had known no mother but his grandmother refused to leave. He lay down on the train platform and his father and two sisters had to leave without him. They travelled in the train to Melbourne and then on the ship "Dimboola" to Geraldton. On arriving in Geraldton Fred approached a man on the wharf and asked him if he would look after Clarice who was then only 8. The man went home and asked his wife who agreed. So for 10 to 12 years Clarice was brought up by the Bells. Dad Bell was a Plummer in Post Office Lane; Clarice, made the seventh child, Illma lived separately and worked in a bakehouse for the Brayshaws. Fred suffered from asthma, so left Geraldton and travelled north to find work. In 1918 Fred married Margaret Mary O'Donnel in Geraldton. They had two children, Margaret Doreen Born 1920 and Percival born 1923. Fred died at his home in Waylon road Subiaco of acute dropsy. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)

624 Elliott was baptized at Mallala methodist Church. he spent a few years at Mallala and then his parents moved to a farm in Lameroo Where he finished his schooling. Sunday School, Church and tennis were his chief interests.

He was a kindly gentleman and a friend to many, exhibiting great physical courage in his many health difficulties. (Tucker Family in Australia 1992)

625 Elsie grew up on the family farm at Grace Plains where a horse provided transport for one or more of the children to school. She was one of the Younger members of the family of ten children and the family later moved to a farm property and house near Owen. She grew up and worked at home, milking cows, tending poultry and doing other farm duties, and was a member of a staunch Methodist family so life revolved around the Owen Methodist Church and the farm. In the early years the Owen picnic was apparently an annual highlight of life in the little country town. She met Arthur here and corresponded regularly with him while he was serving overseas. Upon his return the fellowship blossomed and they married.
Arthur took a teaching post at Wirrabara forest at the start of 1920. he became involved in various outside activities, Freemasonry, for instance, and this meant he was away from home during evenings and Elsie found this a bit traumatic as the school, with house nearby, was on the edge of a pine forest and half a mile from the nearest Neighbour, and five miles from the little township of Wirrabara. Their four sons were born there. They enjoyed the country life roaming the surrounding hilly countryside, mushrooming, digging out rabbits and keeping them as pets, exploring creeks, climbing pine trees close to home, and attending school where Arthur taught about 30 children from the Surrounding rural properties and fores employees' families in Primary School grades 1-7.
The Young couple put sheets of newspaper under the flock mattresses on the wire beds that first winter to try to keep warm so that they could sleep. Wirrabara Forest is fairly high above sea level and so is much colder in winter than the plains around Owen. In summer, however, temperatures could rise very high and bush fires could occur and once a fire was heading for the school but was diverted, and no damage was done to the school property or any persons, although some were rather frightened. A saw mill operated about a mile from the school and the boys spent enjoyable hours sliding down a huge sawdust dump, however had it caught alight, it would have burned for years so the experts said. Bullock teams pulling loads of logs to the mill often went past the school house with the bullocky waling alongside cracking a huge stock whip and the occasional new-fangled car went past as well but life was very quiet and peaceful.
The month of Adelaid's worst heat wave on record, and the family lived at Croydon and Arthur continued as an assistant teacher at Hindmarsh school until he retired at 65 in 1956. Arthur was in his later years a staunch supporter of the West Torrens Football Club and rarely missed a match or a training night. He and Elsie lived on at Croydon until their deaths.(The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992)

646 EULOGY FOR JIM FROM HIS CHILDREN:

We are very proud and honoured to have an amazing father like you Dad. You have always lived your life to the full and you have always has this energy and thirst for enjoying life. You have always been there for each and everyone of us in eveything we do.

Dad made our world a brighter place. He did this by always putting his family first, his generosity to friends and with anyone with whom he came into contact. He became a father figure to many of our friends and treated them as though they wee his own children.

We have never known a dull moment with you Dad. Who could forget our annual trips to Dargle, the place that never rains! The biggest bonfire, the best baked dinner and the most well equipped marquee (3 days to set up for a 4 day weekend.). Ad who could ever forget you water skiing in your stubbies and holding the back of your pants with one hand as you're pulled out of the water, so as not to lose your duds or dignity in front of the neighbouring sites!

The Easter Bunny never failed to make an appearance at Dargle. The grandkids would race eagerly to the Ute every year looking for their lifesized Cadbury's Easter Bunnies. Should anyone turn up unepectedly the Easter Bunny would never failo provide.

One of the most important highlights of our year is the annual Port Macquarie sumer holiday. All the family plus in laws, outlaws, Pommies and Slovakians are welcome. If they were lucky he put flags out!! No-one in the campsite was in any dobt that the Griffiths's had arrived in town! Not that the preparation was without stress. Every year Dad would insist that they were hooked up and pulling out by 5am to head up the highway! Every year at 6.30am Dad would still be insisting that it really was time to go while Mum raced around filling the caravan to capacity!

Christmas was the most important time in Dad's life. He was Mr Christmas. Before one Christmas was ended the next was being prepared for. From singing Santas, inflatable workshops and at least a forest of Christmas trees. Mum was never wasuite sure what would fall out of the next cupboard she opened. Or for that matter, the caravan, Grandma's garage, the workshop or under the house. It was amazing how many quotes Dad had to do for the Christmas warehouse in December.

Dad loved life, he loved his wife, he loved his family, he loved his lawn mower, he loved his cars, and he loved his Jim Beam Ute. He will always be remembered in our hearts as a beautiful man who was our Champion to the end.

We will miss you and love you always.

647 Eva May Butcher is the ninth child of Wilhelm and Wilhelmina Bottcher (n. Dahn). She was born on 16 September 1897 at 8 Campbell St Alexandria, New South Wales, Australia.
Eva was 17 years old and working as a Tailoress when she met and married an American Sailor, Roy Moore Flack.
Roy deserted her when their third child was two months old.
She had to struggle to support her three children, even after placing them in Burnside home in February 1924 at a cost to her of five shillings per child per week and helping with their clothing.
Roy (8 years), Alta (5 years) and Irvin (4 years), all have unhappy memories of their 4 year stay at Burnside. Eva continued to work as a Tailoress to provide for herself and contribute to the upkeep of her children.
In 1926 Eva was admitted to the Coast Hospital Little Bay with inflammation of the kidneys and was luck to escape an operation to remove a stone from the kidney,which would have prevented her from making the once a month visit to her children, permitted by the home. Even though Eva was struggling financially to look after herself, she kept her commitments to her children in care.
Life was very hard for a single mother during this period.
Eva age 30, was employed at Murdoch's Clothing Factory, At Reservoir Street. She was earning two pounds eighteen shillings per week. The children were discharged from Burnside on the 14th April 1928. In 1929 Eva married James Patrick Ramsay aged 33 and started a new family.
In 1929 Eva had her fourth Child, James Patrick Jr, to her new husband.
Eva and James lived at 12 Napoleon Street Sans Souci in a large federation house, they raised ducks for extra income. They had the ponds covered with nets to protect the ducks from hawks. The Sold duck eggs and home made Christmas puddings.
Eva died on 22 September 1963 aged 66. 
Butcher, Eva May (I2442)
 
648 Eva was feeding Arthur with some soup and blowing on it to cool it when Arthur did something to make her laugh and she inhaled a piece of bone. At the time she was "full with Frank" (as Auntie Myrtle said). The bone lodged in her lung and from that time on she was left with a dreadful cough and spent much of her time in hospital having operations to retrieve the bone. When at last they were successful, she was so weak she died. She left Arthur, Frank and Mavis, who were already being brought up by their grandmother, Martha Tucker, and Auntie Myrtle (Will's youngest Sister) who lived with Will because of Eva's health; and Doris who was brought up by Eva's parents, Rev. Thomas and Elizabeth Adcock. (The Tucker Family in Australia, 1992) Adcock, Eva Rose (I3845)
