Sunday's Obituary: Annora Elizabeth Jeffery (nee Bell)

Annora Elizabeth Jeffery (nee Bell) known as  'Annie 'was born in 1863 the daughter of William Henry Bell and his wife Catherine (nee Campbell).  My connection with her is that she is my first cousin four times removed.  In 1886 she married William Jeffery the son of William H. Jeffery and his wife Sarah (nee North).  Together they had a large family of at least six children.  Annie died at Goulburn in 1902 leaving William a widower with four young children to raise.  William married Catherine McCabe (nee Turner), a widow with three surviving children of her own, in 1905. William Jeffery died at Nurse Lakes Private Hospital in Goulburn in 1927.

The Kendall Children.

I started this post a while ago and was going to finally finish and post it yesterday however our four grandchildren came over and I got sidetracked.  Our grandchildren range in age now from six down to one;  they are so full of life (each of them lights up a room when they enter it) and we feel extremely blessed to have them in our lives.  After spending the afternoon researching this post, their arrival made this tragedy even more poignant for me and so I appreciated their company even more than usual and hugged them a bit tighter too!  This morning I woke up to a cold, wet and windy Wagga day and the thought of three little girls out in August weather like this, in light weight dresses with no shoes or jumpers impacted on me even more. Those poor babies! One of the girls was found still clasping her doll that she had carried with her over the whole tragic journey. When my husband and I were looking around the Wagga Wagga Monumental Cemetery some time ago we came across a very sad he
