Personal Notes:
In 1899 she married Fredrick William Himstedt - the first of three sisters to marry three Himstedt brothers. Fredrick was the son of a local grazier. Ada and Fred resided at the properly 'Water Holes' in the Biarra area until, in 1904, Fred and his brother-in-law Bill Berry purchased a portion of 'Colinton Station' near Moore. This adjoined a block purchased by Fred's brother Herman, husband ofAda's sister, Nellie. About 1910 Fred and Bill sold their interests to Herman, and Fred and Ada and their family went to Ottaba where Fred worked as a teamster. A timber-mill was opened at Yarraman in 1912 and they moved there,
built a home and settled down to raise their family, with Fred working as a teamster, treefeller and in the mill.

He retired about 1940 when he and Ada moved to Esk. Whilst living at Yarraman, Ada was active in the Country Women's Association and the Church of England, and regularly won prizes at the annual Yarraman Show for her jams. Ingredients for her jams came from their large garden offruits, vegetables andflowers - she loved to work in this garden. Her happy disposition made manyfriends for her.

In 1951 Fred and Ada left Esk and went to live at Zillmere in Brisbane and then, in 1954, moved to live with their daughter, Cora (Mrs Frank Barr) and her family at Toombul in Brisbane, where Fred died the same year. In 1962, Ada moved with the Barrfamily to Hendra and this was where she died.
