THE OLDEST AUSTRALIAN COLONIST. DIES AGED 90.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wills, who died at Geelong on Saturday last at the age of 90, was the oldest Australian colonist. She arrived with her father at Sydney in 1819, and in 1833 when but 16 years of age she was married to Mr. Horatio Spencer Wills, who settled in the Tumut district, New South Wales, in 1837. Mrs. Wills came to Geelong in 1852. She left seven children, 36 grandchildren, and 17 great-grandchildren.

DEATHS
WILLS.— On the 28th December, 1907, at "The Grove," Newtown, Geelong, at the residence of her son-in-law, H. Blomfield Brown, Elizabeth, widow of the late Horatio Spencer Wills, late of Point Henry, Geelong, and Cullen-la-ringo, Queensland, in her 91st year.

Death of an Old Colonist.
A STIRRING CAREER.
One of the oldest Australian colonists and a pioneer of Victoria, in the person of Mrs. Elizabeth Wills, passed peacefully away at Geelong on Saturday last, in her 91st year. Coming to Sydney in 1819 or 1820 with her parents — her father being a sergeant in the military forces — she was educated at Parramatta, and when but a girl of sixteen married to Mr. Horatio Spencer Wills. In 1837 Mr. and Mrs. Wills settled on land in the Tumut district, in New South Wales. Some three years later, owing to uncertainty of tenure, they left this holding, and travelled by bullock-team to Melbourne, and thence to Lexington, in the Ararat district. Mr. Wills selected land there, and gave the name of Ararat to the mount, because, like the dove, they .'rested there.' From 1840, some twelve years were passed at Lexington, and Mrs. Wills, amongst other incidents of those stirring times, came to regard the visits of ' bush rangers as quite ordinary occurrences. In 1852 Mr. Wills purchased Belle Vue Farm, at Point Henry, Geelong. and also acquired Cullinlaringo Station, in the Leichhardt - district, in Queensland, where, on 17th October, 1861, he paid for his pioneership with his life, being attacked and killed by the blacks. Mrs. Wills and her family continued their residence at Point Henry. Her eldest son, T. W. Wills, well known as Tommy Wills, was a prominent Australian cricketer for many years, and was the organiser and captain of the first aboriginal cricket team that played in Australia, whilst her sons Horace and Egbert were familiar figures in the Geelong football field. Mrs. Wills remained constant to the Geelong district as a place of residence, with the exception of some eight years, which she spent at Hawthorn. She was of a kindly and charitable nature, though just and discriminating in her gifts. Besides many private kindnesses and benevolences, she gave substantial aid, both in buildings and in money, to the Old Colonists' Association, whilst various funds of the Church of England, of which she was a member1, received - material assistance from her. The last years, of her life were quietly and happily passed at the 'Grove,' Geelong, the home of her son-in-law, Mr. H.. Blomfield Brown. Of her family of four sons and five daughters, three of the former and four of the latter survive her, whilst it may be also mentioned that the three generations of her family include 36 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren.

DEATHS
HARRISON.-On December 6, at Molongo, Kew, Victoria, Emily Spencer, wife of H. C. A. Harrison, and loved mother of Mrs. John. MacKnight, late of Cottesloe.

The Argus 8 Dec 1925
The death occurred on Sunday at her residence at Walpole street, Kew, of Mrs. H. C. A. Harrison, in her 83rd year. Mrs. Harrison formed an interesting link with the past, as she was born on her father's "Lexington" station, near Ararat. Her father (Horatio Spencer Wills) was one of Victoria's first settlers and the original holder of the Lexington station. During her residence at Kew Mrs. Harrison had been closely connected with philanthropic movements, and during the war, though aged more than 70 years, worked indefatigably for the Red Cross Society.

Ancestry - Wills (Lexington) Family Tree
I once read the following story but I forget where .Perhaps it was in the Kitchen file at Lexington..
When the Wills children were little, their father measured their heights,perhaps on a wall or door.I think Tom was away? at School.
Perhaps Horatio did it in the 1850s when the family left .The farm was without labourers due to Gold Rush.
A succession of owners left the markings intact. The Dalrymple/Clarke/Bowe clan owned and ran Lexington from 1858 until c1926. They did decorate because Mary Ann wallpapered the bathroom with the London Illustrated News.
But the height chart remained. In Early 20th century John Clarke remained to sell up.
Emily and I think Cedric made the long trek out to the Homestead where John Clarke showed them around and they could view the precious markings.It must have been very touching for them all. The height chart now remains behind a frame.
Lexington is currently for sale . I hope the new owners realise the significance and don't paint over it.

DEATHS
HARRISON.-On December 6, at Molongo, Kew, Victoria, Emily Spencer, wife of H. C. A. Harrison, and loved mother of Mrs. John. MacKnight, late of Cottesloe.

The Argus 8 Dec 1925
The death occurred on Sunday at her residence at Walpole street, Kew, of Mrs. H. C. A. Harrison, in her 83rd year. Mrs. Harrison formed an interesting link with the past, as she was born on her father's "Lexington" station, near Ararat. Her father (Horatio Spencer Wills) was one of Victoria's first settlers and the original holder of the Lexington station. During her residence at Kew Mrs. Harrison had been closely connected with philanthropic movements, and during the war, though aged more than 70 years, worked indefatigably for the Red Cross Society.
