Biography

Rachel Jane Wall was born on 21 September 1867 in Windsor, Colony of New South Wales. Her parents were Richard Wall and Elizabeth Harriet Jones.

She passed away on 20 January 1881 at Pitt Reach, Colony of New South Wales and was buried at the St. Thomas Cemetery, Ebenezer[1].

A sad accident occurred on the Hawkesbury yesterday evening. Richard Wall, a farmer, with two daughters, was returning from Windsor in a boat and were caught in a squall at full reach. The boat upset and all three were drowned. The bodies were found this morning; those of the father and younger daughter being clasped together.

Aged 14 years
