MAUD GRACE LINDBECK
by Ray Davies Because of her chosen profession, popularity and longevity, Nurse Maud Lindbeck probably touched more lives in this district than most. Maud's paternal family descended from a Danish sailor and his English wife who, although married, arrived separately in Sydney in the 1820's. At Parramatta, her great-grandmother worked for Mrs George Shelley. ln the 1850's, that association probably led to her father travelling from Braidwood to Tumut, in search of work. Maud Grace was the eldest surviving child of 'Ned' and 'Lena' Lindbeck, (Edward Henry and Selina Maria Quarmby) who apparently met whilst working for the Harris family at Wermatong. She was born near Tumut on 25 August 1890. Family tradition has it that her forgetfut father should have registered her under the more popular names of Victoria Alicia Louisa. In 1894, her parents moved onto undeveloped land near Yellowin Creek, at West Blowering and soon they'd turned it into a fully self-supporting enterprise. lt was here that her father built a pise homestead, Riverside that, in later years, was the venue for Tumut Hospital fund-raising dances and church services and it was here that the local Public Schoolteacher also boarded. As a youngster, Maud learnt numerous home-making and needlework skills. But, as her mother considered reading to be a waste of time, this pastime was not greatly encouraged. She regularly visited her Quarmby grandparents and numerous other relatives living around Batlow and Tumut. Maud received her initial nursing training at South Sydney Hospital and, together with a nursing friend, ran a private hospital at Petersham. Whilst privately nursing in Adelong in 1914, Maud was persuaded to open a small hospital in that declining gold mining settlement. This very valuable asset eventually grew to six beds and she nursed various members of an appreciative community for almost thirty years. ln 1916, Maud's parents left Blowering and came to live in Adelong. There they became famous as the owners of a fine buggy pulled by a matched pair of greys. Nurse Lindbeck's hospital operated principally as a birthing and minor medical centre, but limited surgery was also performed there by a succession of local doctors. Although an extremely capable and dedicated nurse, in 1921 Maud thought she'd have to close her hospital, but a testimonial and a wallet of notes persuaded her to do otherwise. Many residents of Adelong, Batlow and even Tumut owe their start in life to nurse Lindbeck and other members of her devoted staff. Her speciality lay in caring for premature babies, many of which were carried around on her person, for them to benefit from the warmth of her body. Soon after the death of her elderly mother, in 1943, Maud sold her hospital to the NSW Government and retired. During this more relaxed part of her life, her interests included the CWA, the Church Women's Union and the Red Cross. ln 1950, Maud moved to Wagga Wagga, where she lived for many years with a niece, lda Buckley, at 120 Peter Street. One of her favourite treasures was a very old handcrafted wooden sewing box, made by her grandfather, Charles Edward Lindbeck. Even when over ninety years of age, she was still a keen gardener. Other interests included completing a beautifully crocheted double bedspread for her own bed and she regularly corresponded with her sisters. Many charities also benefited from her colourful crocheted rugs. After a long and useful life, Nurse Maud Lindbeck died peacefully at her home, on Saturday, 5 April 1986 and was privately cremated three days later. She was 96 years of age and mourned by many! |
