Gertrude Muriel “Arma” (Berrie) Hannah 1875-1967
Not a lot is known about Gertrude. She was born on “Gwydir Station” near Moree in 1875. She was the eldest daughter of six children born to Thomas and Margaret Berrie. Gertrude Muriel was at one time a pupil and boarder at St Catherine's Waverley in Sydney as was her sister Linda Constance but there is no evidence of the youngest daughter Margaret Gladys as a pupil there. St Catherine's School traces its origins to 1855, when Mrs Jane Barker, wife of the Bishop of Sydney, decided to establish a school for the daughters of the clergy. Barker and her husband had travelled throughout New South Wales, and realised that the poor stipends of the clergy in country areas meant that their daughters could not benefit from a good education. Within five months, Barker had raised enough money to secure a premises in Point Piper Road (now Jersey Road), Edgecliff, and had hired Ms Loftus to run the St Catherine's Clergy Daughters School. Barker wished for her school to be modelled on Casterton, the school attended by the Brontë sisters, who were themselves the daughters of a poor clergyman. The Clergy Daughters School was officially opened in its temporary location on 5 March 1856. Shortly after the school's opening, Barker was able to secure a land grant of 5 acres (2 ha) near Waverley, and began to look towards the creation of a small missionary settlement, including the Clergy Daughters' School, a church, parsonage and a village school. In September 1857, the foundation stone of the new School was laid, and in 1859, the sandstone building which is remains the focus of the School today, was completed. When enrolments began to decline during the depression years of 1891–1895, day girls were admitted to the school for the first time.1 She won “The Works of Tennyson” for drawing, from "Clergy Daughters' School, St. Catherine's, Waverley, Christmas 1894”. Her father Thomas Berry managed “Wallaroobie Station” near Cowabbie in the 1890s and that is how she met David Hannah. Her elder brother served in the Boer war. She married David Hannah at “Wallaroobie Station” on 12 August 1896. The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 29 August 1896. A wedding took place at Wallaroobie Station, near Coolamon, on 12th instant. The contracting parties were Mr. David Hannah, J.P., of Cowabee station and Miss G. M. Berrie, eldest .daughter of Mr. Thomas Berrie, of Wallaroobie. The ceremony took place at 9 a.m., in the presence of a gathering of many friends, and relatives, the Rev. D. McKay Barnet, B.A., of Presbyterian Church, Narrandera officiating. The bride wore a simple and most becoming dress of cream silk, with wreath and veil and the bridesmaids were in cream and buttercup About 40 guests sat down to the wedding breakfast Mr. Barnet proposed the health of "The Bride and Bridegroom," to which Mr. Hannah suitably replied and proposed " The Bridesmaids," for whom Mr Claude Berrie responded. Several other toasts were honoured, after which the happy couple left at 1 a.m. for Coolamon, en route for Melbourne, for their honeymoon. She then moved with her husband as he went from “Cowabbie Station” to northern New South Wales, then the “Jemalong Station”, “Cambridge Downs” and finally “Kilcummin Station”. When her husband David Hannah died, Gertrude had to leave "Kilcummin". She purchased a pineapple farm at Tanby, near Yeppoon, and set about becoming to be a farmer at the age of 57 years. It would be interesting to know why she chose to grow pineapples when she had been involved for so many years with sheep and cattle. |
