ISABEL WILLIAMS nee Simmers
by Annette Hassett lsabel was born at the home of her grandmother lsabella Speers in Camp Street Adelong on 1 August 1872, the eldest daughter of James and Mary Simmers. James came to Australia from Aberdeen Scotland where he was a pastrycook and after working in the Victorian goldfields owned a flour mill at Gilmore and later in Tumut. She was educated at James private school in Adelong, where she met her future husband Edwin Cyril Williams. They were married in 1897 at St. Stephens Tumut, where her father was an elder for many years. Before marriage she worked as a shop assistant at her uncle's (David Watson's) general store at Grahamstown. lsabel and Edwin had a family of six children. They were Vivienne (Mrs Clive Hammond), lsabel (Mrs Theo Brissenden), Llewelyn (married Edna Ballantyne), Edith (Mrs Morrie Bernhardt), Ada (Mrs Edward Hassett) and Margery (Mrs Bill Dixon). Evenings were spent singing around the piano, always beginning with her husband's favourite 'Men of Harlech'. lsabel was a very musical lady with a beautiful singing voice. She played the piano, violin and organ, and was the organist at both St. Stephens Presbyterian Church Tumut and St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church Adelong from aged 17 to well into her 80's. After their marriage, lsabel and Edwin first ran a newsagency in Temora, then later settled in Tumut Street then Camp Street Adelong. A skilled dressmaker, lsabel sewed all the children's clothing. Whilst living with her daughter Ada Hassett at Little Plain Grahamstown she was practising the organ for the harvest festival at church when she suffered a cerebral stroke, leaving her without a memory and the church without an organist for the Sunday service. She was cared for by her family until her death in a nursing home in Hurstville on 20 January 1961 and is buried in the Adelong cemetery. |
