The following is a only an introductory brief summary about the amazing life of Philip Henry Bolte, and his particularly large positive legacy of descendants
This is because there is already a wealth of detailed information about Philip, plus his wife, family and siblings, with deep insights into an extended period of Australia history, in the extraordinary "Bolte Pioneering Families" book of 2003, mentioned below in Sources
Philip was born in Happy Valley, Victoria during 1865, and was one of twelve children for Johann and Theresia Bolte, who had originally both migrated from Germany
During 1895, at age 30, Philip Henry Bolte married Frances Caroline May (age 20), and together they had 14 children, as listed in the links at top of page
Philip & Frances' 14 children included one daughter called Frances Mabel Imogene ("Mabel") Bolte, and her WikiTree profile includes some comprehensive details
Over his career, Philip was a gold-miner, butcher but mostly lived a farming & grazier life on his family farms near West Wyalong, NSW
After a most interesting and extraordinary life, Philip died during 1945, at age 80
However, you really must try to review the Bolte Pioneering Families book if you really want to fully understand this extraordinary man, and the times
The above is a preliminary summary, pending more refinement
