| Personal Notes: |
|
Cora was born in Esk, the youngest surviving child of the "Yarraman Himstedts", Fred and Ada. She went to school in Yarraman and on leaving chose nursing as her profession. She trained in Brisbane and in due course, became a triple certificated sister. She nursed at Charters Towers and in New South Wales.
In 1949 she married Frank Barr. Frank had been wounded on active service and had some health problems. They first lived in Brisbane at Zillmere, then later at Hendra. By this time her parents were aging and Cora's training as a nurse and her caring instincts saw her looking after them in their declining years, until they passed away. She was of the same generous and outgoing nature as her sister Alice, and revered too by her nephews and nieces, one of whom she raised as well as her own daughter, Elizabeth Anne. Cora died in Brisbane in 1996, having been predeceased by her husband by about twenty years. |
