Personal Notes:
On 03 Sep 1896 Hilda Helen Isabel greeted the world. She recalled being a delicate child but had strong and fond memories of her childhood. By the time she was 13 there were seven brothers (one adopted) plus two little sisters all needing some sort of help so Hilda and her older sister Anna had much to do. They also 'pitched in' and helped their parents run the hotels. At one time Hilda and Anna had a cake
and bread shop. When Anna married in 1912, Hilda was her mother's mainstay.
Hilda studied both violin and piano but possibly practice time was rather limited as she did not continue in this field. All was not lost as each of her children inherited her talent and love of music.
For three years she nursed at Townsville Hospital then when her father and brother Alf bought a cane farm at Jarvisfield near Ayr, Hilda kept house for them.

They moved to Brisbane where the family lived at 79 Lang St, Morningside and John worked at the abattoirs at Murrarie.
John died on 22 July 1965 and for many years Hilda lived in her own home at Bay Terrace, Wynnum, then with her daughter Maree Halford at Manly, always keeping herself busy.
Finally the strength of this gentle little lady declined and she died in the Wynnum Nursing Home on 02 March 1994 at the venerable age of 97 years and 6 months.
When delivering the eulogy her brother Norman said "under the gentleness there was not to be found weakness of character, for she had inner strength that showed itself when the occasion demanded ... Those who counted her among their friends found in her a sympathetic person to whom they could open their hearts - and be comforted and helped in doing so."
Hilda was laid to her rest on 04 Mar 1994 in the Hernmant Cemetery where her husband John is also buried.
