Personal Notes:

MARY NEALL nee Bridle

by Margaret Francis

On 13 March 1836, Mary was born to William and Martha Bridle, their fourth daughter and sixth child of their ten children. William Bridle had arrived in the colony in 1817 as a convict, while Martha was the daughter of a First Fleet convict, Edward Miles. Mary was baptised at St. Peter's Church of England, Campbelltown.

When Mary was still a child, the family moved from Campbelltown to the Monaro district where her father had a licence to depasture stock. Their property, situated southwest of Cooma, was called lsland Lake, and Bridle's Creek bears testimony to the family to this day. After a number of years William Bridle took up Talbingo Station on the Tumut River and the family moved again.

Mary was just twelve years old when this major move was made - a long arduous journey across the mountains following nothing more than a rough track across the high plains. This journey made by the Bridle family was notable in that they brought a wheeled vehicle down Talbingo Mountain - a feat which had not been previously attempted.

By 1865, most of Mary's brothers and sisters had married and moved to new homes in the surrounding districts. Mary's parents purchased a home in Tumut after selling Talbingo Station to their daughter and son-in-law, Sarah and Oltmann Lampe. Mary shared the Tumut home with her parents, brother George, and youngest sister Emma, until Emma's marriage to Frederick Kinred.

The Bridle family were very involved with, and major supporters of, All Saints Church of England in Tumut. Mary worked as a Sunday School teacher and gave generously of her time as a church collector.

Mary was very much the home body who cared for her parents in their later years, Whenever family members visited William and Martha, Mary was there to assist with the refreshments and meals. Mary was the thoughtful one who gave a bible as a gift or arranged family get-togethers and activities.

ln 1873 Mary's father, William Bridle, died and by 1880 her mother, Martha, was being cared for by her sister Emma Kinred who had moved back to Tumut. Mary Bridle was at last free to extend her horizons. For a while she worked as a volunteer nurse with the Society for the Relief of Destitute Children at Randwick, then at an Aboriginal Mission near Darlington Point in the Riverina.

George Bridle, Mary's brother, began a new venture in the Riverina town of Hillston in 1882. Mary accompanied George to keep house for him when he became the owner and publisher of a newspaper in the town. One of the printers in the town found favour with Mary, and at the age of 47 she married James Gabriel Neall, an American, on 25 June 1883. James Neall had been widowed and Mary became mother to his children. However, some difficulties arose in the marriage and James returned to America, whilst Mary came home to Tumut . This would have been an awkward time for Mary in an age when women stayed with their husband without question.

However, Mary fitted back into life in Tumut and became a beloved aunt to an extended family till the end of her life. Stella (Miles) Franklin, a great-niece, wrote about Mary in her autobiography, Childhood at Brindabella. Stella remembered Aunt Mary as beloved by all her nieces and nephews and that she went to stay with the Franklin's at Stillwater, neat Goulburn, for months at a stretch when her sight grew worse. Stella recounted how Aunt Mary demonstrated that to love juvenile stories, children have to begin young, as she told the young Franklins nursery rhymes. Stella was so contemptuous and critical of this "silly stuff' that she was considered a nuisance, but Aunt Mary settled the matter amicably for all by having the teen-aged Stella to read to her. Together they "read" several of Dicken's novels without missing a word, with Stella wrapped in a possum rug on frosty winter nights, flat out on the floor beside her Aunt's bed with a candle for a light. These memories of the young Stella (Miles) Franklin would have been in the 1890's by which time Mary was in her sixties.

Because of failing eye-sight, Mary returned to Tumut where she was cared for by her youngest sister, Emma Kinred. Mary died on 2 October 1919 aged 83, and the funeral left from Mr Kinred's house in Simpson Street for the new Tumut Cemetery after a short service at All Saints Church of England. Mary Neall was buried beside other family members.
