Biography

When her husband William Henry died aged 51, Elizabeth was left to care for four young children in Arncliff, NSW. A friend of William, Charlie (no relation but the family called him 'Unc") built a house in Brookvale called REWA - named after the first initial of each child. 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]

( REWA) are the first letters of her children.
