Biography |
My mother came from hard working labouring stock. Most of them, as far as I know, ignorant and uneducated. To my mother's credit be it known that she, out of a large family, insisted on going to the local church school where she received a smattering of education which lifted her out of the pitiful slum of dirt and ignorance into which the rest of the family grew. She became an excellent dressmaker and cook and met my father, I believe, at a mission in the East End where they both worked. She was born in 1851 long before the Forster Education Act (1870) gave access to Elementary schools.
My mother lived on for many years and, as we all grew and became independent, life became easier for her and she was able to make use of her talents in many ways. Of course the first few years after my father's death had been a terrific struggle for us all but we won through and my mother lived to be nearly seventy-eight. She was quite strong, healthy and upright until she was stricken down in one of the influenza epidemics so frequent in those days - was ill for just one week, then died in her sleep. [1] |
