| Personal Notes: |
| Min did not marry and during the WW2 was secretary of the soldier's Club. She was to the forefront of many soldier supportive organisations during the war. She was President and later Secretary of the Girl's Realm Guide, in Armidale, which sent countless articles to children from war ravaged countries. After the war she kept her involvement in community matters and for a period in 1928 she acted as Mayoress for Armidale when Alderman A. Horner Fletcher was Mayor. She built a home beside her father's home Sturry, which she named Luddingham, after the Blaxland estate in England. It was in the Red Cross that she gained her greatest recognition. She was foundation member in 1914 and President from 1934 to 1955 and on her death was the Patron. She was awarded the MBE (Civil Order) for "charitable and patriotic work" in 1952. Her funeral service was held in St. Peter's Cathedral, Armidale. She was cremated at the Northern Suburbs Crematorium and her ashes were scattered around the Church of England Cathedral in Armidale. |
