MARY JANE nee French
by Lyn Shiels Mary Jane was born in 1875 at Bethungra, first child of Stephen and Amelia French. She was baptised into the Tumut Presbyterian Church at her parents' home. Eight more children followed and spent their childhood at Killimicat. Mary Jane married Daniel French in 1898 and they raised a family of nine children. Danielwas famed for his skill as a bullock driver and the family lived at Wyangle and in Tumut and briefly at Carathool. Much of Mary Jane's life was spent in harsh conditions with little comfort. She sewed all her own and the children's clothes, often using material from flour bags for linings or underclothes. Mary Jane was a good neighbour, always willing to help others. Daniel was often away from home with his team and Mary Jane had to manage her home and family without him. The older children were expected to help with the household tasks and the younger children. Most of the family made their lives in the Tumut area. Tragedy struck the family in 1938 when their son Frank was killed in a road accident on the Brungle Creek Road and when Daniel himself died four months later. There was also great happiness as the children grew up, married and a host of grandchildren were born. ln her later years Mary Jane tived in her son Albert's home in Clarke Street in greater comfort. She was cared for in her last years by her daughter Katherine (Mrs Barrett). She died in 1955 after a short illness. |
