He built himself a small unit out the back and had Elizabeth work as his housekeeper. When Elizabeth's eldest, Rita, became ill with TB, she returned to Rewa with her husband and two children. After Rita died, Elizabeth took over rearing the children. Mother of Elsie (Mrs. F. Bennett), William and Albert.[1]
