    Notes:

    On return to Australia from the war great grandfather Harper was allocated a Soldier Settler block in RedCliffs. He died of stomach cancer on 04.12.1921, aged 46 years (some 13 years before I was born).
    This left Grandmother Harper inall sorts of difficulties and unable to care for her children (8) and maintain the block at the same she had no choice but to put it up for sale. She moved to Ballarat where she obtained a position as a cook at the Ballarat Orphanage (Victoria Street,Ballarat East) with accommodation made available at that institution for the children.
    Later on in life she also worked for a time as a cook for the then Premier of Victoria, Sir Henry Bolte,and his shearers, on his property at Meredith.
    She never remarried following the death of her husband, Will.
