There is no record of a birth certificate for Mary. She never married and seems like she may have kept house for her batchelor brother Ted.
The cemetery rocords show that Mary was living at Tepko shortly before her death.

62 M iii. Johannes Berthold (Jack) Strauss was born on 13 Dec 1878 in Nr Palmer, South Australia, died on 9 Jan 1947 in Mount Pleasant, South, Australia, Australia at age 68, and was buried on 11 Jan 1947 in Palmer, South Australia, Australia.

Maria was born on 17 Apr 1881 in Mannum, South Australia, Australia, died on 26 Sep 1958 in Rockleigh, South Australia, Australia at age 77, and was buried on 27 Sep 1958 in Palmer, South Australia, Australia.

63 M iv. Wilhelm Friedrich Strauss was born on 3 Jan 1883 in Summerfeldt Nr Murray Bridge, South Australia, died on 4 Jan 1883 in Summerfeldt Nr Murray Bridge, South Australia, and was buried on 4 Jan 1883 in Palmer, South Australia, Australia.

64 F v. Regina Adelgunde (Queenie) Strauss was born on 31 Jul 1886 in Palmer, South Australia, Australia, died on 20 Feb 1957 in Tepko, South Australia, Australia at age 70, and was buried on 22 Feb 1957 in Murray Bridge, South Australia, Australia.

Regina married Franz Oscar (Frank) Maczkowiack, son of Johann Richard Maczkowiack and Amalie Juliane Strauss, on 10 Nov 1915 in Mannum, South Australia, Australia. Franz was born on 23 Oct 1883 in Blumberg, South Australia, Australia, died on 14 Nov 1958 in Caloote, South Australia, Australia at age 75, and was buried on 16 Nov 1958 in Murray Bridge, South Australia, Australia.

Maria married Carl Ferdinand (Charles) Pontt, son of Jacob Nicolaus Heinrich Pontt and Wilhelmine Henriette Hirdes, on 9 Feb 1872 in Lobethal, South Australia, Australia. Carl was born in 1850 and died on 27 Mar 1899 in Burra, South Australia, Australia at age 49. The cause of his death was Peritonitis.

66 F i. Malvena Pontt was born about 1873 and died in 1893 aged about 20. Another name for Malvena was Malrena Pontt.

It seems likely that Malvena was the first child born to Charles and Bertha although it is not impossible that she was a niece or other close relative. As her birth was not registered there is no official record of her existence. She has been described by one of the older Pontt children as a big sister who helped manage the younger members of the family and she has been reputed to have died in her early twenties. Evidence of her existence was provided in a statutory document prepared and signed by Regertie Eva Tonkin (nee Pontt) on 18 May 1963 in which Regertie listed the issue of her parents, Charles and Bertha Pontt. Malvena was the first child mentioned on the list but no date of birth or death was given. This document was required, when Regerties' sister Laura Pratt (nee Pontt) died intestate. (Information provided by Joan Passuke.)

67 M ii. Johannes Albert (Jack) Pontt was born on 20 Apr 1874 in Blumberg, South Australia, Australia, died on 12 Oct 1927 in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia at age 53, and was buried in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia.

Johannes Albert Pontt (Jack) AKA John Albert Pontt

Jack was born on 20 April 1874 at (3am.) Blumberg. As the first son born to Charles and Bertha, his birth must have been celebrated with much gladness and it is significant to note that the actual hour of his arrival was recorded on his baptismal record. He was baptized into the Lutheran Church on 3 May, 1874 at Blumberg Church, S.A. by Pastor Hensel. Jack spent his early years in Western Australia, with his parents, in the River Irwin area and accompanied them when they moved back to various properties in South Australia. As he grew older he would have assisted his parents and brothers with their pastoral activities until in maturity he looked for employment elsewhere.

Jack worked for a landowner by the name of Worthley at Bordertown for a time before following his brothers interstate to New South Wales possibly assisting his brother Harry with his farm at Nangas, N.S.W. Later he lived at Coolam working as a carrier. He was unmarried according to his death certificate although Brian Pontt recalls his father Bill Pontt telling him that he had once stayed with Jack and his wife when he had holidayed in the South East.

Jack died on 12 October 1927, at the district hospital Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. He was aged 53 years and died as a result of Carcinoma of the stomach which had been detected 3 months previously. He was buried in the Methodist Cemetery, Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. (Information provided by Joan Passuke.)

68 M iii. Alfred Heinrich (Alf) Pontt was born on 27 Apr 1875 in Blumberg, South Australia, Australia, died on 1 Nov 1946 in Grenfell, New South Wales, Australia at age 71, and was buried in Grenfell, New South Wales, Australia. He never married and had no children.

Alfred Heinrich Pontt (Alf)

Alf was the second son of Charles and Bertha and was born on 27 April 1875 also at Blumberg, South Australia. He was baptized on 18th May 1875 by Dr. Loesel at St. Paul's Lutheran Church Lobethal, South Australia. The ceremony was witnessed by his grandfather, Heinrich Pontt, his maternal Aunt, Johanna Strauss and his paternal Aunt, Elisa Charlotte Augusta Pontt.

Alf would have accompanied his parents on their Western Australian venture as a very young child and probably felt happy when they returned to South Australia and he met up with his two sets of grandparents again.

He was about 19 years old when his father, Charles, made the decision to move the family from the East Wellington property to Bakara. As Alf was one of his older sons, Charles probably relied heavily upon him for help in setting up the new farm. After his father died Alf spent some years farming in the Bakara area with the family. Then in 1906, Alf and his brother Charlie junior, decided to try their luck in a different venue interstate. They drove a team of horses, pulling a wagon loaded with farming equipment, for the six week trip overland from Swan Reach to New South Wales in 1906 encountering floods and other obstacles on the way. Once in N.S.W. Alf and Charlie farmed in a partnership, which was to last around 40 years in the area around Grenfell. Alfred remained a bachelor but maintained a close relationship with Charlie often residing with him and his young family. He visited South Australia in 1928 to attend Louis Pontt's (senior) 80'th birthday celebrations with Lois Kuchel (nee Jaensch) recalling him staying with them on that occasion.

Alf died on the 1st November 1946 at Grenfell, New South Wales and was buried in Grenfell Cemetery, N.S.W. He never married and left no descendants. (Information provided by Joan Passuke.)

69 M iv. William Charles (Charlie) Pontt was born on 10 Oct 1876 in River Irwin, Western Australia, Australia and died on 2 May 1963 in Corrimal, New South Wales at age 86.

William Charles Pontt was born on 10 October 1876 at the River Irwin, on Upper Swan in Western Australia. Like his father before him he was affectionately referred to by family and friends as Charlie. In this biography he will be described as Charlie junior to avoid confusion. As an adult his only memory of his experiences of life in W.A., was that of a toddler stepping aboard the ship for the voyage back to South Australia about 1879. Once in S.A. the family lived at various places including Summerfeldt, Tailem Bend and Bakara. Charlie junior and his brothers Jack, Harry, and Alf assisted their father Charles in establishing the Bakara farm and undertook many arduous duties and were often sent out alone for days at a time shepherding the sheep.

According to stories Charlie junior told his children, he revisited Western Australia alone at some stage of his young adult life. He went to the area of his birth first, and then worked on a gold mining area somewhere near Meekathon. He told his daughters that he walked from Collie to Kalgoorlie looking for gold at various places and although he claimed to have knowledge of a "terrific strike," he returned to South Australia no richer.

Later, sometime after his father's death, he and three of his brothers, took up new land at Wunkar, a nearby location, which they farmed from 1897- 1902. In 1906, as mentioned previously in Alf's story, the two brothers, Alf and Charlie junior made a life changing decision, teamed up and trekked to far away NSW in search of better farming conditions. At that time huge parcels of land owned by wealthy people were being subdivided into blocks of about 600 acres and then sub-let to farmers willing to share farm with them. After a few years farming, the sharefarmers usually had saved enough capital to purchase the block from the land holder which was how Charlie junior and Alf were able to establish themselves on the land in N.S.W. They farmed in partnership in various places in the Grenfell area including a part of Warrangong, near Greenthorpe, before buying a property named ''Roselea'' at Pinnacle about 30 miles from Greenthorpe. They held this farm for about 15 years.

Charlie junior was 47 years old when he married 34 year old Grace (Ollie) Olive Diprose (B: 5 May 1889 at Edithburgh, S.A.) on the 15th May 1923 at Cowra Road Methodist Church, Grenfell. He would later tell his daughters that he had delayed getting married until he had made enough money!

Charlie junior and Ollie had four daughters born to them; Gracie (B: 5 June 1924), Bertha (B: 15 March 1926), Carline (B: 4 October 1928) and Elizabeth Joy (B: 6 December 1932).

They sold Roselea around 1926 and lived for a time at Young, where they bought a house, expecting to now be in a financial position to retire comfortably. Unfortunately the depression occurred and the buyer of the property took advantage of Jack Lang's Moratorium Act which allowed him to delay repaying the principal of his land purchase for a long time as long as the interest on the deal was paid every year. Although the new owner was in a position to pay his debt, he could not be forced to pay and did not do so until 1939. (Jack Lang was the N.S.W. Labor Premier during the depression years and introduced measures like this to stimulate the economy and aid those struggling to repay their debts). Unfortunately for Charlie junior, the buyer of his property although not impoverished, used the provision of the act to his advantage. In the meantime, Charlie junior and family were left financially embarrassed and had to return to farming in the Greenthorpe area until he was eventually able to retire to the South Coast of NSW.

Charlie junior kept in touch with, and periodically visited, his brothers and sisters, who were now living at Pyap in South Australia.

One such trip was made with his wife and young family in1938 to introduce them to their Pyap relatives. On this occasion, according to the recollection of one of his daughters, they also visited a very old elegant lady at Tailem Bend, whom the girls were told to call Auntie Taeuber (Elisa Taeuber). On a subsequent visit to Pyap Charlie junior showed that he had retained his agility. Brian Pontt has vivid memories of the 80-year-old vigorously pursuing and killing a brown snake found in a shed. In those days every snake needed to be killed instantly.

Charlie junior died on 2 May 1963 at Corrimal, New South Wales. He was cremated and his ashes were interred at Illawarra Crematorium, Wollongong, New South Wales. Ollie died on 12th August 1977 and her ashes were interred adjacent to those of her husband. (Information provided by Joan Passuke.)

William married Grace Rose Diprose, daughter of James Diprose and Grace Rogers, on 15 May 1923 in Grenfell, New South Wales, Australia. Grace was born on 5 Jan 1889 in Edithburgh, South Australia, Australia and died on 12 Aug 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia at age 88.

70 M v. Heinrich Wilhelm (Harry) Pontt was born on 10 Jan 1878 in Geraldton, Western Australia and died on 27 Apr 1944 in Junnee, New South Wales at age 66.

Heinrich Wilhelm Pontt Aka Henry William Pontt (Harry)

Harry was born on 10 January 1878 at Geraldton, Western Australia. Thus he was a young infant when circumstances forced the family to return to South Australia. As has been discussed previously, the family lived at several locations, until they settled at Bakara. By this time Harry would have been about 16 years of age and old enough to work on the farm. After his father died in 1899, Harry, then aged 21 years and his brothers assisted his mother Bertha to run the Bakara property and later Harry joined three other brothers in establishing another farm at nearby Wunkar.

Harry married Selma Rosalina Herrmann (B: 27 September 1882 at Summerfeldt, SA) on 14 September 1904 at St. Stephens Evangelical Lutheran Kirche, Nildottie, South Australia. This was a joyous occasion with the family celebrations extended over two whole days.

In 1907 Harry and his wife moved to New South Wales, settling on a farm at Nangas and remaining there until 1929. Their only child, a son whom they named Wilfred, was born on 15th June 1910 at Junee. Harry and family remained on the Nangas farm until 1929 when Harry sold the farm and moved to Junee where he joined the staff of their Municipal Council. He remained working with the Junee Council until shortly before his death.

Harry died on 27 April 1944 aged 66 years at Junee, N.S.W and was buried in the Junee Cemetery. His wife Selma died 10 years later on 6 July 1954 and was also buried in the Junee cemetery. (Information provided by Joan Passuke.)

Heinrich married Selma Rosalina Herrmann on 14 Sep 1904 in Nildottie, South Australia, Australia. Selma was born on 27 Sep 1882 in Summerfeldt Nr Murray Bridge, South Australia and died on 6 Jul 1954 in Temora, New South Wales, Australia at age 71.

71 M vi. Louis Otto (Lou) Pontt was born on 27 Apr 1880 in Summerfeldt Nr Murray Bridge, South Australia and died on 17 Jun 1960 in Loxton, South Australia, Australia at age 80. He never married and had no children.

Lou was born on 27 April 1880 at Summerfeldt, the first child born after the family had returned from Western Australia. It seems probable that his parents had now taken a residence close to that of Bertha's parents in which case, Lou as a little baby would have had their special attention. Education does not appear to have been a high priority with the family more focussed on being able to feed themselves, possibly because they lived a long distance away from schools, as with other members of the family Lou had little formal schooling. After spending some years with the family at Bakara, and being excused from much heavy farm work because of a weak heart condition, Lou moved to a fruit block at Pyap in 1921.

DIED IN THE SCRUB. LOXTON, July 20. \emdash An old identity in the person of Mr. J. Cliurnside, of Pyap met his death last week. He was residing on Mr. L. Pontt's property, and wandered into the scrub near the river. Search was made for him on the first day, but it was not until the second day that the body was found hear a waterhole. Death was due mainly to exposure. (The Register 23 July 1925)

Lou lived a largely self-contained life and never married although he is reputed to have had girl friends in his younger days. He had few contacts at Pyap, apart from his neighbours, with brother Bill and family living in the next-door property. Lou kept a series of large black dogs all named Peter. They were all very fierce and menaced any stranger who called. The young Pontt children next door were terrified of "Black Peter" and would retreat to the safety of their house when Lou and dog visited them to collect mail or for some other reason.

Lou managed his fruit property until his death in the Loxton Hospital on 17 June 1960, aged 80 years. He was buried in the Loxton Cemetery. (Information provided by Joan Passuke.)

72 M vii. Oscar Ferdinand Pontt was born on 4 Jul 1882 in Summerfeldt Nr Murray Bridge, South Australia, died on 19 Feb 1930 in Renmark, South Australia, Australia at age 47, and was buried in Bakara, South Australia, Australia. The cause of his death was Peritonitis. He never married and had no children.

Oscar was born on 4 July 1882, two years after his brother Lou, and was the sixth son of Charles and Bertha. He would have been about 12 years old when the family moved to Bakara and in spite of his young age, was no doubt expected to help with the work on the new property.

In his adult years, Oscar is said to have taken a keen interest in local activities. As a young man he played football for the local team, although he is reputed to have walked with a limp and was a frequent M.C. at country-dances held in the Bakara area. He never married and left no descendants.

Oscar must have spent some time in New South Wales with his older brother Harry, probably helping on Harry's farm. A photo taken of him together with Harry's family indicates that he was either visiting them or living with them around 1915.

It seems that he had returned to Bakara Well by the time of his mother's death in 1916, and was possibly assisting his brother Bill managing the property. When, in July 1923, Bill decided to sell the land and move on, Oscar, in partnership with his brother in law Thomas Tilson, bought the lease and managed the property until 16 May 1929, when they sold the lease to Alice Edson. Oscar spent his final days living with his brother Eddie, who lived on a property close at hand to Bakara Well. When Oscar died soon after this, he left his estate to Eddie.

Oscar died on 19 February 1930 at Renmark hospital aged 48 years from peritonitis. It is somewhat remarkable that both Oscar and his father, Charles before him, died at the same age from the same condition. According to his wishes, Oscar was buried in the Bakara Cemetery in a grave adjacent to that of his mother, Bertha. (Information provided by Joan Passuke.)

73 M viii. Hugo Friedrich Bernhard (Fred) Pontt was born on 12 Nov 1883 in Summerfeldt Nr Murray Bridge, South Australia, died on 6 Jul 1969 in Berri, South Australia, Australia at age 85, and was buried on 8 Jul 1969 in Renmark, South Australia, Australia.

Hugo Friedrich Bernhard Pontt (Fred) AKA Frederick Hugo Bernard Pontt

Fred, the couple's seventh son was born on 12 November 1883 at Summerfeldt.

He spent most of his early life at Summerfeldt and Tailem Bend before moving with his parents to Bakara Well, East of Swan Reach. In his youth Fred would have been expected to help with demanding tasks on this largely uncleared property. Later he worked as a drilling contractor sinking bores on surrounding farms.

He married Anna Matilda Micke (Tilly) (B: 20 November 1889 at Angas Park, S.A.) at the residence of the bride's father in Marrundee, South Australia on 8 February, 1910.

Fred spent the next decade of his life farming in the nearby area. Fred's first farm was at Mantung, and from there he moved to an Eastern Well property where he added to his expertise by building and running a blacksmith shop. This shop had two large rooms and was built using local stone.

Fred moved to Pyap in 1921, where he built a two bedroom stone home before deciding to move on to Renmark. His first wife Tilly died on 4 December 1944 and was buried in the Renmark cemetery.Three years after his first wife passed away, Fred married Ottilie Amanda Olga (Ollie) Drogemuller, (B: 1 May 1885, Chucka Bend, SA) at Barmera, S. A. At this stage Fred retired to live at Kingston on the Murray with his new wife. Ollie died on 25 October 1956 at Adelaide and was buried in Enfield Memorial Park Cemetery. Soon after this, Fred entered St. Catherine's Rest Home at Berri where he lived out the remainder of his life. Fred died on 6 July, 1969 at Berri, South Australia two days after his 87th birthday. He is buried at Renmark Cemetery, South Australia in a grave adjacent to that of his first wife Tilly.

No children were born to Fred from either marriage.

Laura Bertha Pontt, Charles and Bertha's second daughter was born on 13 August1887 at Summerfeldt.

Laura married Richard Ernest Pratt, (B: 29 January 1876 at Port Gawler, S.A.) on 30 August 1911 at her mother's residence at Bakara. The couple lived on a farm near to Bakara but two years later Ernest committed suicide (8 September 1913) for reasons unknown.

Ernest was buried in an isolated section of the Bakara Cemetery as was the practice at that time with suicide burials.

Laura followed family members when they moved to Pyap in 1922 and she kept house for Bill. When Bill married Mary Start in 1922, Laura stayed on until 1929 when the family arranged for Laura to rent a house of her own nearby.

She spent her final years in an Adelaide cottage, one of a group designed specifically for old aged pensioners, in Margaret St., Walkerville.

Laura died on19 February, 1963 in Adelaide and is buried at Enfield Memorial Park, Adelaide, South Australia.

76 M xi. Edwin Hermann (Eddie) Pontt was born on 17 Sep 1889 in Summerfeldt Nr Murray Bridge, South Australia, died on 28 Aug 1973 in Waikerie, South Australia, Australia at age 83, and was buried in Angaston, South Australia, Australia.

Eddie, Charles and Bertha's ninth son was born on 17 November 1889 at Summerfeldt. Eddie was 5 years old when the family moved to the Bakara property and he must have felt a strong connection with this area and it is notable that he was the last member of the family to leave the mallee country..

Eddie married Ida Start on 7 September 1921 at the Eastern Well residence of the bride's mother, Sarah Start.

Eddie and Ida farmed on a property at Eastern Well where two sons were born - Robert Edwin Pontt (B: January 1922) and Reginald Harold Pontt (B: 29 August 1924) with Robert dying in infancy.

Ida contracted and subsequently died from tuberculosis on 29 August 1930 aged 33 years. Twenty-one years after the death of his first wife, Eddie married again. His new bride was widow (Polly) Pauline Hermann.

Gertie was born on 2 March 1891 in Toorak, Hundred of Seymour. She married Charles Earl Murday Tonkin (Earl) at her mother's home at Bakara on 4 May 1916.

Gertie and Earl first lived in rented rooms at Fisher Street, Fullarton during which time Earl worked as a tram conductor in Adelaide. After a few years they moved back to the mallee area to a small settlement named Mantung (very close to the family home at Bakara). There they found primitive accommodation in a log hut and Earl took various jobs including wood cutting and driving a bullock team. The couple lived at Mantung for about two and a half years before purchasing a fruit block at Pyap, on the river Murray near Loxton in 1921.

Gertie and Earl had seven children; Eva Eileen (B: 24 March 1917), Allan (B: 27 June 1918), Charles Murray (B: 11 June 1920), Lloyd (B: 5 January 1923), Viola (B: 14 November 1924), Robert (B: 16 February 1928) and Kevin (B: 7 December 1932). .

79 M xiv. William Sidney (Bill) Pontt was born on 3 Feb 1895 in Tailem Bend, South Australia, Australia, died on 25 Apr 1968 in Loxton, South Australia, Australia at age 73, and was buried in Loxton, South Australia, Australia.

William Sidney Pontt (Bill)

Bill was the tenth son of Charles and Bertha Pontt and was born on 3 February 1895 at Tailem Bend. He was 4 years old at the time of his father's death and he remembered little about him. Like his brothers and sisters, Bill received limited schooling, a period of three to six months. After his older brothers left home Bill took charge of managing the Bakara property while keeping up involvement in local sporting activities.

Bill moved to a fruit block on the Murray at Pyap in 1922 accompanied by his widowed sister, Laura Pratt. Bill married Mary Irene Start 2 August 1922.

Once he had settled in to life at Pyap, Bill resumed his sporting activities.

Alf went farming or working around the Mannum area until he jioned up and served in the first World War as a private in the 3rd Light Horse from the 18/2/1916 and returned to Australia on 28/1/1919 (Serial No 2891). He was one of a 34 man 20th Reinforcement for the 3rd Light Horse, leaving Adeliade on board RMS Malwa on 27 July 1916 bound for Eygpt where he joined the 1st Light Horse Machine Gun Squadron. Later in March 1918 he went to the 6th mobile vet section.
What follows is an account from the Australian War Memorial of the actions the 1st Light Horse undertook while Alf served.

Back in Egypt from Gallipoli, the 3rd Light Horse joined the ANZAC Mounted Division. The 1st Light Horse Brigade played a significant role in turning back the Turkish advance on the canal at the battle of Romani on 4 August. In ensuing days the regiments of the brigade participated in the immediate follow-up of the defeated Turks, but were soon withdrawn to rest.

The 3rd Light Horse rejoined the Allied advance across the Sinai in November and was subsequently involved in the fighting to secure the Turkish outposts on the Palestine frontier – Maghdaba on 23 December 1916 and Rafa on 9 January 1917. A stint of protective duty along the line of communications through the Sinai followed. The 3rd’s next major engagement was the abortive second battle of Gaza on 19 April. Gaza finally fell on 7 November, after a wide outflanking move via Beersheba, in which the 1st Light Horse Brigade played a part.

With the capture of Gaza, the Turkish position in southern Palestine collapsed. The 3rd Light Horse Regiment participated in the advance to Jaffa that followed, and was then committed to operations to clear and occupy the west bank of the Jordan River. It was involved in the Amman (24–27 February) and Es Salt (30 April–4 May) raids and the repulse of a major German and Turkish attack on 14 July 1918.

The final British offensive of the campaign was launched along the Mediterranean coast on 19 September 1918, with the ANZAC Mounted Division taking part in a subsidiary effort east of the Jordan aimed at Amman. Turkey surrendered on 30 October 1918. The 3rd Light Horse Regiment sailed for Australia on 16 March 1919 without their horses, which were either shot or transferred to Indian cavalry units.

On his return he married in Adeliade in 1921 and sometime before 1924, he and his wife shifted to the Rainbow area to take up farming, where he remained until his untimely death.

Gustav married Vera Emily Jaehne, daughter of Adolp Ernest Jaehne and Unknown, on 24 Mar 1921 in Methodist Church Highbury St. Prospect, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia.

Very little is known about Annie, she married Johan Korner in Adelaide a family story has it that Johan worked on the river boats at Mannum and that he was fond of the taverns making merry with wine, women and song. It looks like the couple may have moved to Adelaide. However John Korner 29 years of age was reported to the police for deserting his wife at Marion south of Adelaide in 1881 the Warrant being withdrawn by the 3rd of August 1881. On the birth certificate of her son Frederick she states that she married Frederick George Williams on 21st January 1881in Adelaide, but there is no record of this.
The next we know of Annie is that she had her first child born in Adelaide in 1883 the father being Frederick George Williams on the birth certificate. By October 1884 she was in Langdale St. Melbourne, Victoria and had given birth to another daughter. (Again a family story goes that Annie was very sick after the birth and one or more of her brothers went to Melbourne and brought Annie and the child back to South Australia only then was the babies birth registered).
At this point I should also make note that according to the records John Korner died at Fullarton south of Adelaide in April 1885.
Annie however must of recovered and was back living in 58 Bridge Road, Richmond a suburb of Melbourne in 1886 as she gave birth to a son, he only lived for a short time dying the same year, her address on the death certificate is given as 58 Bridge Rd. Richmond. By 1889 the shop occupied by Frederick at 58 Bridge Rd was vacant by 1889 according to the Rate book.
Next we hear of the family on the 29 Apr1889 Burglary at 33 Rowena Parade premises of Frederick George Williams (grocer & fruiterer) and wife Annie the thief allegedly made of with £150 of cash and £45 of jewellery.
Will of her father Carl Wilhelm made on 19 Aug 1912 does not mention Annie, all other living children were mentioned. I have been told that none of Annie's brothers or sisters knew of her whereabouts after they left Richmond. To date my search for her and her family have yielded no further clue to what happened to the family.

• Disappeared: from Richmond, I have not been able to trace the family after they left in 1889

Anna married Johan Korner, son of Henry Korner and Unknown, on 21 Jan 1880 in Res. of Henry Edwards of Hackney, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Johan was born in 1852.

There is much mystery regarding Annie's husband Johan Korner, from family stories he was believed to have worked on the paddle boats on the Murray for sometime, but it seems he also tried his hands at other jobs. He then seems to disappear, with the only other record of him being, the death of a Johan Korner in 1885.
.

Anna next married Frederick George Williams. Frederick was born in 1859 in Marybourgh, Victoria, Australia.

On Rosy May's birth registration he was a labourer living at Gilbert St in Adelaide in 1883. By 1884 on Addie Helena's birth registration hiw occupation was given as Grocer and that he and Annie resided at Unley in South Australia, however Addie was born in Melbourne.
Going by news paper report from that year it seems that Frederick was in some financial trouble. On September 19 1884 Annie assaulted a August Jacachke a bailiff who was attempting to sieze a horse belonging to her husband at Unley and she was fined 7 schillings in the case reported in the Advertiser on October 3, 1884. This was only 11 day before the birth of Addie in Melbourne.
Frederick was fined on the 4th Nov of rescuing the horse from impound by Unley Corp. He was find 1 Schilling and had to pay cost of 15 schillings.
Things appeared to come to a head on the 5th of May 1885 at a creditors meeting reported by The Advertiser Frederick George Williams, Hawker of Unley was told to assign his estate to benefit his creditors.
It appears that after his business at Unley failed the family had made their way to Richmond in Victoria by 1886.
His occupation at the time of his sons birth given as Fruiterer at Richmond.
Birth date and place comes from sons birth certificate, however there is no record of a Frederick George Williams being born at Marybourgh or in Victoria, for that matter at or about this time. The only record is that of a William James Williams born Marybourgh in 1859.
On the 25 August 1886 Richmond Court F T Williams greengrocer of Bridge Rd was found guilty of cruelty to a horse and fined £5.
11 Nov 1886 Death of son Frederick George cause of death Malnutrition, Buried Boroondarra Cemetery, Kew on 12th Nov 1886.

126 F i. Rosy May Williams was born on 18 Feb 1883 in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia, died on 20 Apr 1884 at age 1, and was buried in West Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia. Another name for Rosy was Rose May Williams.

• Death: 20 Apr 1884. and is buried at West Terrace Cemertery according to the cemetery records, there appears to be no death certificate for her.

127 F ii. Addie Helena Williams was born on 14 Oct 1884 in Langdale St, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

128 M iii. Frederick George Williams was born on 31 May 1886 in Richmond, Victoria, Australia, died on 11 Nov 1886 in Richmond, Victoria, Australia, and was buried on 12 Nov 1886 in Boroondara General Cemetery, Kew, Victoria, Australia.

Fredericks cause of death was given as Marasmus a form of malnutrition caused by severe deficiency of both protein and calories.

22. Maria Elizabeth (Mary) Strauss was born on 16 Jul 1863 in Blumberg, South Australia, Australia, died on 28 May 1949 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia at age 85, and was buried in 1949 in Kiata, Victoria, Australia.

Maria married Gustav Reinhold Albrecht, son of Johann Gottfried Albrecht and Johanna Rosine Appelt, on 26 Apr 1882 in Lutheran Church Flinders St, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Gustav was born on 31 May 1855 in Glogsen District Of Zuellichau, Province Of Brandenburg, died on 12 Apr 1939 in Nhill, Victoria, Australia at age 83, and was buried on 14 Apr 1939 in Kiata, Victoria, Australia. The cause of his death was Broncho pneumonia.

Reinhold was probably born in Glogsen District of Zuellichau, Province Of Brandenburg, Prussia on Thursday the 31st of May 1855. I cannot find record of his christening as I have been unable to trace the church records of the nearest village Kay as it seems these records like most in the area have been lost or destroyed during World War 2.
I also noticed that when Reinhold applied for Naturalization in 1914 that he put his birthplace as unknown.
He would have had no memory of his country of birth leaving it for the new colony of South Australia in 1857 with his parents.
Within 18 months of arriving in Australia Reinhold had lost both his father and eldest sister. His mother remarried a widower Wilhelm Bretag and the family now including the younger of Wilhelm's 6 children settled near Mannum. It was here that Reinhold was to grow up and it appears that he and Friedrich, (Wilhelm's youngest son) became good mates.
Reinhold started farming in the area after a period of schooling leasing ground around Mannum.He purchased from the goverment in the County of Sturt; Hd Finniss; Sect 394; total area 406 acres; £406 on th18th of January 1879.
Reinhold began courting Maria Elisabeth Strauss a young girl from Shepherds Flats some 5 Km's north of Mannum.
He attempted to elope one night with Maria who was aged 16 at the time, but her parents heard the horse and buggy approaching and Reinhold was warned off.
Mary (as Maria was known by her family) left home shortly afterwards and worked as a house maid for a wealthy family in Adelaide. Even from an early age Mary seemed to have a strong will and mind of her own and she eventually got her way and married Reinhold in 1882 in Adelaide. They returned to Mannum apparently reconciled with her parents.
They lived on a three to four hundred acre farm a mile from Mannum at Long Gully; it was hear that all their family except their youngest son was to be born. Their farm was situated about two miles from Mary's parents at Shepherds Flat also known as Millindilla Creek. It is believed that Reinhold's mother and stepfather lived on a block nearby on the other side of Long Gully. On the 12th October 1884 the couple opened their first bank account with the Bank of Adelaide at Mannum with a £150.
Reinhold replaced the old mud brick house with a new home (this still stands today). The couple continued farming in the Mannum area as their family grew in 1893 he leased 39 acres nearby for cropping and grazing this was transferred to his brother-in-law Bill Strauss in 1903, and then in 1895 he took a graving lease of a forest reserve 1673 acres (Vol 289 Fol 2) situated in the county of Sturt transferred from Herman Dannonberg. But it seems that the family struggled with the average rainfall in the area of only 10 inches crops failed as often as not, and running stock would have been the best source of income. The family like most at that time produced most of their own food with cows for milk, chucks and other poultry, a vegetable garden and fruit trees all taken care of by the women of the family. The men of the family would have done the ploughing with the horse team in the hope of growing wheat for sale as well as to make hay for the livestock, which included cattle, sheep and pigs.
However in the late 1890's early 1900's the seasons around Mannum were poor, with the country in the grip of a depression and in 1902 their was a severe drought. Reinhold decided to look around for land elsewhere. It was reported in the Adeliade Advertiser on the 27th of October 1902 that he had visited Pinnaroo and he was at a meeting at Mannum to push for the establishment of a rail line to the area
It was at this time that Fred Bretag, Reinholds stepbrother returned to Mannum. He had been farming country which had been opened up across the border in Victoria. Fred had cancer of the throat, he had never married and when he became ill he returned to Mannum where he was looked after by Reinhold and Mary. Fred became to ill to work his farm so in 1903 it seems Reinhold decided to take his oldest son Fred and daughter Martha and work Fred's block which was situated south of Nhill at Gerang Gerung in Victoria. Meanwhile Mary and the rest of the family remained at Mannum. Fred Bretags health continued to deteriorate until his death on the 30th of January, 1904. He was buried in the Mannum cemetery close by Mary's two brothers and near where parents were to be buried.
Reinhold must have liked what he saw at Gerang Gerung because he and Mary decided to move to whole family to Victoria. With their family growing up the prospects for the future seemed better in this area with good soil and better rainfall (the area having a rainfall of 20.24 inches in 1903) and also room to expand and acquire land. The land at Mannum was sold for £ 2 per acre, and on the 29th of March, 1904, Reinhold & Mary bought Friedrich Bretags farm Allotments 16 &32 - Gerang Gerung - Parish of Lowan a total of 640 acres at auction. At this time I am not sure the price they paid for the property but records show they paid the sum of £500 on the 20th of April, which was the amount of the mortgage that Ellen Walker had over allotment 16 in Friedrich Bretag's probate documents, his Will also shows that he left Reinhold some money, probably about £75.
On the same date they also opened a bank account at the Commercial Bank of Australia at Nhill with a deposit of £504 - 3 - 8.
In 1905 the last of the couples children Ted, was born. Mary was 42 years old at the time, her eldest daughters would have helped their mother look after the young infant.
It was about this time in 1907 that Reinhold's aged mother moved to Victoria to live with them, probably after the death of her husband Wilhelm. Also on the 23rd of April 1907 Reinhold purchased 800 acres pt.allot. 105 from Haines Bros. for £1578.
In 1907 the family again grew with the arrival of their first grandchild. From then onward, Reinhold and Mary were to have many grandchildren, they would all come and on Sundays with their parents after church. Mary looked forward to these Sunday family days, and also when her brothers and sister came from Rainbow and Jeparit with their families to visit.
On the 22nd of April 1908 Reinhold & Mary donated £50 to help buy an unused Methodist Church at Kiata East, for the Lutheran church and were foundation members of this congregation. It is said that they went to every church service held at Kiata East. The church was closed soon after Mary's death in 1949.
On the 31st of March 1911 they purchased allot. 34, 106 acres & allot.35, 320 acres for £2560. They also purchased allot. 39, a block of 114 acres for £748 on 11th of April 1911. All were owned by William Smyth. This took their farm size up to 1980 acres in a matter of seven years.
It seems that Mary was the driving force behind the family's rapid expansion consulting with her younger brother Dolph who had become a successful businessman in the nearby town of Rainbow, however with a drought in 1914 the family finances were severely stretched and it took some years to recover.
1914 was also the year that the Great War in Europe broke out, anti German sentiment in Australia was running high and Germans across the border in South Australia were being put in internment camps classed as enemy aliens. German schools were closed and German town names changed. Reinhold who had always considered himself to be a British subject (as all Australians considered themselves at the time) now found himself in the position of being an enemy alien in the country be had come to as an infant. So in September 1914 he applied for citizenship. In the Statutory declaration Reinhold stated that he did not know his place of birth only saying he was born in Germany, it also stated that before coming to Victoria he had been a resident in the Mt. Pleasant, Monato and Mannum area. His application was submitted for approval executive in July 1915. The police report stated that he was a respectable, industrious, law abiding person with grown up children and a wife who was a native of South Australia.
In December 1918 Reinhold's mother, Rosina passes away and is buried at the Kiata Cemetery. It is believed that she had suffered from dementure for many years having been confined to her bed for sometime before her death.
The family since their arrival in Victoria had lived in a mud brick house situated on allotment 32. As the years passed their children began to marry and move from the family home. When in 1922, Reinhold built a new brick home constructed by A. Coulson & Keneally on allotment 35, which they called Morning View only their three younger sons remained with them. But in 1926 two of their sons married and moved to farms of their own. This left Ted as the only son at home. Throughout this period the eldest of their grandsons would come and help during the busy seasons of the year on the farm. Reinhold now aged 71 also employed Alf Hall as a working man. It wasn't long and Alf was like one of the family, he would do anything for Mary and she thought the world of him, and he was in later years to marry their eldest granddaughter who had been widowed. In 1929 Ted married and the young couple moved in with Reinhold and Mary.
With the passing of the years more grandchildren arrived and in 1925 the first of their great grandchildren. Sad times were to come however when their second son Eddie died suddenly of a stroke on the 4th of December, 1937, at the age of 43. It is said that a portrait of Eddie taken as a child took pride of place on the mantelpiece from that time.
Reinhold's health too, was deteriorating and he passed away at the age of 83, on the 12th of April, 1939.
Over his life time Reinhold had seen many changes from the days where most things were either done by man or horse power, land clearing was done with an axe, wheat harvested with a sieve and thrashed by hand to the introduction of the first reapers pulled by horse teams and then in later years the introduction of tractors. He is remembered as being a quiet considered man who his grandchildren remember him with his King George beard sitting by the fire smoking his pipe, talking for hours with friends and relatives.
1939 also saw the outbreak of World War 2 which saw several of Mary's grandsons serving in the armed forces in Australia and overseas during the war years.
Tragedy again struck on the 19th of March, 1940 Mary's granddaughter Norma was killed in a horse and gig accident while on her way to school she was only 6 years of age. She was buried at Kiata cemetery beside her father Eddie.
As the war years dragged on Mary remained as Matriarch of the family, still very much in control of the families' affairs. As her sight began to fail her daughter-in-law Violet would read letters from her grandsons Mick Streeter and Don Eldridge and also Alf Hall fighting in the Middle East and she was always happy to hear that they were alright. When ever there was a drive in the area to sell war bonds or to raise money for the troops Mary was always keen to help as much as she could and was a keen donor to these causes.
When the Japanese entered the war Mick, Don and Alf returned to Australia to help with the war effort in the pacific, her grandsons Len and Clarrie Albrecht, Ron Streeter, and great grandson Ron Smith also joined the armed forces.
In the final months of the war Carrie, Fred and Toni's son was killed at Bouganville all were devastated with sorrow at the loss.
Mary at the age of 82 was still working around the house gardening and gather eggs, but as the years went by she became weaker and died at home on the 28th of May 1949 aged 86 years.

• Land: 18 Jan 1879. purchased from government in the county of Sturt; Hd Finniss; Sect 394; total area 406 acres; for £406

129 F i. Martha Matilda Albrecht was born on 2 Mar 1883 in Long Gully Near Mannum, South Australia, died on 30 Jun 1964 in Horsham, Victoria, Australia at age 81, and was buried in 1964. Another name for Martha was Martha Maria.

Martha Mathilde the first child of Reinhold & Maria was born at their home at Long Gully just outside Mannum in South Australia on Saturday the 3rd of Febuary 1883. She was christened at the Luthern church Mannum her godparents being Maria's younger sister Mathilde Blondine and Freidrich Bretag son of Reinhold's step-father Wilhelm Bretag (Reinhold and Freidrich spent their boyhood together and appeared to be fairly close).
She grew up on the family farm at Long Gully probably walking to school in Mannum and helping her mother with the milking looking after her younger brothers and sisters and other tasks on the farm. In her late teens the family was struggling like most of the others in the area through a period of draught which occurred in the late 1890's early 1900's in southern Australia.
At about this time she is believed to have travelled with her father and eldest brother Fred, to Gerang Gerung in Victoria to keep house for them while they worked the block her dying godfather Freidrich Bretag who had been farming in the district for sometime.
With the death of her godfather Friedrich Bretag, the whole family settled on the block and she settled into community and family life in the area.
She it is here she met Charles Waltrowicz, a son of a Gerang Gerung farming family who lived nearby whom she married in 1911.They had two sons Harold and Norman while they farmed in the area for a time but left there in a drought year and went to Quantong, near Horsham, in Victoria and settled on a fruit block. Quantong was a big fruit growing district in those days and boasted a school and two churches. Martha took an interest in the social life of the district and helped the Hall Committee in particular. The state school teachers used to board with Martha and Charles. Martha was a keen gardener and was known to have "green fingers." Everything she planted grew. She hated housework and always preferred to be outside. She started a grocery store and sold fruit and vegetables. She also milked cows.
Martha and Charles' sons, Harold and Norman, both worked for their parents. At this time the family also included Ella Miles who was a ward of the state placed in the families care. When in 1938, Harold married Ruth Kuhne Martha and Charles left Harold to work their block and they, with Norman, moved to a bigger block with fruit trees.
The new block Martha and Charles moved to was a very good piece of land with a creek and they had water all year round to water their tomatoes etc.
With the sudden death of charles in 1942 she continued working the block with the help of her son Norman who returned from the army and Evelyn who was another ward of the state who was placed in her care at that time.
She worked the block with Norman until approximately 1960 when they decided to sell out and moved to Horsham to live.
Martha lived a short time in Horsham but became ill and died on the 30th of June, 1964 and was buried at Natimuk, Victoria with her husband, Charles.

Martha married Karl Wilhelm (Charles) Waltrowicz, son of Albert Waltrowicz and Johanna Louise Rosine Schenscher, in 1911 in Victoria, Australia. Karl was born on 5 Dec 1872 in Hahndorf, South Australia, Australia, died on 16 Nov 1942 in Horsham, Victoria, Australia at age 69, and was buried on 17 Nov 1942 in Natimuk, Victoria, Australia.

130 F ii. Clara Maria Albrecht was born on 16 Aug 1884 in Long Gully Near Mannum, South Australia, died on 15 Aug 1965 at age 80, and was buried in 1965 in Stawell Victoria Australia. Another name for Clara was Clara Arnold.

Clara Maria the second child of Reinhold & Maria was born at home at Long Gully on Saturday, August 16 1884. She was christened at Mannum her Godparents being her uncle Gustav Wegener and her aunty Mathilde Blondine Schake nee Strauss.
Her early life was spent on the family farm at Mannum where she would have attended school and gone to church on Sundays and also helped out on the farm.
When she was about 20 she came with her parents when they moved to Victoria and settled on the family farm with them.

Clara then moved down to around the Stawell area where she worked as a cook for the gangs of men that were clearing scrub on farming land in the area. It was here that she met George Streeter.

Clara next married George Streeter, son of Joseph Streeter and Louisa Hampton, on 8 Jul 1909 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. George was born on 31 Dec 1863 in Stuart Mill Near St Arnaud, Victoria, Australia, died on 20 Apr 1951 in Stawell Victoria Australia at age 87, and was buried on 23 Apr 1951 in Stawell Victoria Australia. The cause of his death was Cerebral Embolism.

The 4th child of Joseph and Louisa Streeter he was born at Stuart Mill near St Arnaud on the 31st of December 1863.
He told his family he left his parents home at twelve years of age. His father had a store at Stuarts Mill at the time. He headed east working in shearing sheds and rounding up stock for landholders around Euroa. It is believed that at this time he became friendly with Ned Kelly and family. He always told his family he had danced with Ned's sister Kate. The family when visiting the Ned Kelly display at Glenrowan some years ago was told that George rode with Ned and would scout for them informing them what was going on and where the police were.
When it got too hot with the police, he and Dan Kelly took off and escaped into New South Wales and did boundary riding on large holdings in the high country, the owners would send supplies out to them and they would not see anyone for months at a time
George finally returned home at 17 years of age coincidently the same year which Ned Kelly was hung. George only ever admitted to dancing with Kate and going in NSW with Dan Kelly.
In 1880 he purchased a few acres of land at Nattie Yallock near Avoca but by 1894 had disposed of the land.
Nothing is known of George's life between 1894 and 1909 when he married Clara.
Apparently George had been gone for just two years when his mother Loiusa died, George and his brother Henry were to inherit her estate a search was put out for George and the only information the family got was that he had contracted Tetanus and was very ill the last he was seen. The family presumed him dead and his brother proceeded to claim his inheritance.
It is believed that in about 1900's he turned his hand to clearing land for farmers around the Callawadda area North of Stawell. He had a gang of men clearing land in the area when Clara, his wife to be, was employed as a cook for the group who lived in tents on site.
George and Clara married and The family lived for a short time at Callawadda with the eldest child Clara Olga (Ollie), before deciding, in 1908, to buy a house in Stawell. The house they chose still stands on the corner of Jennings and Ord Streets, just across the road from the 502 State School. It had a separate bathroom and laundry, a kitchen, family room, lounge and three bedrooms, which increased to five as the family arrived.
The next three children, Loma, Percy and Mick were born at home and, shortly after the children started school, Clara became ill and needed medical attention for some time.
The children were split up, with the eldest, Ollie, being sent to her grandparents at Gerang Gerung where she continued her schooling.
Lorna, Percy and Mick stayed with their father out on the job at Callawadda until Clara had recovered enough to be with them again.
Mick stayed on the job with his father, attending school at Callawadda, Wallaloo East and Morl Morrl, sometimes walking up to three miles each way until after completing fourth grade. He then returned to Stawell to complete his schooling.
Even though Clara had recovered from her illness, Ollie stayed at Gerang Gerung, where she attended the Kiata East State School and remained with her grandparents until she had completed her schooling.
Clara and George's fifth child, Ron was born at home in 1918.
George enjoyed constant employment, sometimes employing up to three men depending on his work load. In the summer the timber and scrub was stacked in heaps around old stumps and logs, then all were burnt during the fire burning period. It was hard work with just a horse, cross-cut saw, trawallajack, mattock and axe.
George spent most of his working days living on the job. He would leave Stawell, usually late Sunday and come home late Friday night or Saturday morning.
As the Great Depression began, the Streeter family was solidly settled in their home in Stawell. Since they had a double home site, they used the land to grow their own vegetables, grapes, cherries, plums, apples, apricots and quinces. They also ran poultry for eggs and meat therefore their diet was a full and varied one.
Eggs were preserved, plums, apricots and cherries were also preserved. Vegetables of various types were also grown all year round which also meant ground had to be dug and vegetable beds prepared. Flowers were also grown and sold.
Different family members would go up to Gerang Gerung to Clara's parents place to lend a hand with the harvesting or shearing and other busy times of the year.
About 1931, they bought their first wireless and 3LK began transmitting from Lubeck. 3LK was a sub-station for 3DB in Melbourne. As the family began the day, "Day Break Dan" was listened to with great attention.
One of the family's major sources of entertainment was cards. They played euchre, 500 and crib and many a "sheep station" hung on the balance of a card. The competition was fiercely waged.
Clara went to her Saturday card evening without fail at the Railway Institute and also some midweek evenings at the Fire Brigade building.
Clara was a member of the Fire Brigade Ladies Auxiliary and she was the first lady to become a life member of the Swifts Football Club ladies auxiliary.
Clara was confirmed in the Lutheran Church and, as there was no Lutheran Church in Stawell, she became a member of the Holy Trinity Church of England and attended church regularly. All the children were christened, attended Sunday School and were confirmed in Stawell except Ollie, who was confirmed at the Lutheran Church at Kiata East.
As the family grew older and began to leave home and rooms became vacant, Clara had a number of young lads, who wished to finish their education at the Stawell Technical School; stay with her and her influence on the character of these young men was of a lasting and high standard.
Clara also filled her house at Easter time with people who wished to attend the Stawell Easter Gift. It was always a very busy time for Clara and her helpers and she treated her guests very well indeed. The same people came back for decades and became firm friends as it was her wish to make all welcome and did so until she became unable to cope in the last few years of her life.
In later years he was a keen gardener and grew a great array of vegetables on his block in town. People who passed by would recall him out amongst the vegies with his hoe even in his twilight years.
George and Clara successfully raised five children - two daughters and three sons.

131 M iii. Friedrick Wilhelm Albrecht was born on 3 Jan 1887 in Long Gully Near Mannum, South Australia, died on 11 Jan 1968 at age 81, and was buried in 1968 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia.

Freidrick Wilhelm (Fred) was born in South Australia in 1887 and was the first son of Gustav and Maria. Fred purchased Allotment 89 containing 751 acres at Gerang in June 1913.
Fred and Antonia Clare Marie Speher (Toni) married in 1914.The couple were to go on and have six children - four boys and two girls. As 1914 was a drought year, they found it hard to make ends meet. Toni milked a lot of cows by hand, selling cream and butter together with eggs to help meet the cost of day to day living. The separated milk would go towards feeding pigs and calves which was also a big help. Fred didn't have a very good farming plant and his horse team was not of top quality, but he battled on under tough conditions as a lot of the farm was only semi cleared. A lot of Mallee bushes had to be cut and stumps ploughed out and picked by hand. The bushes stood as high as the horses. As things improved they upgraded horses and plant. Later, Fred and his brother, Ted bought a Clydesdale stallion "Stud Book" and bred their own horses.
In the early 1920's Fred and Toni started building a new concrete house which they moved into in 1925.
Fred was a fairly progressive chap and when underground water was becoming essential a lot of water boring was being done by a Mr. Fred Bethune, but Fred bought his own boring plant and drilled his own bore and one for his parents. These bores are still working today.
Fred was also mechanically minded and bought a Twin City tractor, the first tractor in the district. As tractors improved he upgraded with the times.
Fred also had an Avance tractor like his parents. The steel wheels on the tractors had a habit of clogging wet soil between the grips, so Fred designed a different type of wheel on which he secured a patent. His brother-in-law, Bill Eldridge, built the wheel which was a great success. It was called the A & E. Wheel and was put on Fred's and his parent's Avance tractors as photographs will show.
The house and property was named "Crimsondale" because it and some of the sheds had red roofs. The house is now owned by one of their grandson, Ian Albrecht.
Toni was a Natimuk girl and when Fred was courting her, he would ride on horseback from Gerang Gerung to Natimuk to see her.
Years later Fred and Toni, with the family, would go visiting relatives at Natimuk in a buggy drawn by two horses. This was before the car period.
Fred also had one of the first cars, a T Model Ford, which he said had brass headlamps similar to the old buggy lamps.
After the T Model Ford they upgraded cars. Along the way they had three Buicks and Three Chevs as well as others.
About 1930, Fred bought another 628 acres adjoining his home block. He didn't have this block long and the depression struck. It took him many more years than he had anticipated paying for it, but, with hard work and help from his sons and more modern machinery, he came through okay.
During the depression there were a lot of swaggies walking the roads. The swagmen would camp in the buildings on the Gerang football ground which was across the road from Crimsondale homestead. These fellows would arrive in twos and threes and ask for food. Although battling depressed prices and a large family to keep, not one of these men were refused food. Toni had a saying, "You can't let them go hungry." Such was her nature.
Fred and Toni worked hard all their lives always thinking of their family.
Toni was a very loving person and when son Clarence was killed in action in Bouganville in 1945 the whole family was devastated. Toni never recovered from the loss of her third son, Clarrie.
But life had to go on and Fred as his parents before him, started his remaining three sons on the land.
His two surviving sons are still on the land doing as Fred did and have started their own sons on the land.
Fred and Toni did it hard. They worked and saved and, with perseverance, through good times and bad, reaped the benefits in later life.
Toni passed away in 1957 aged 65 years.
Fred passed away in 1968 aged 81 years.

Friedrick married Antonia Clara Marie Speher, daughter of Heinrich Christian Speher and Marie Louise Waltrowicz, on 25 Feb 1914 in Victoria, Australia. Antonia was born on 15 Jul 1891 in Natimuk, Victoria, Australia, died on 20 Jun 1957 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia at age 65, and was buried in 1957 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia.

132 M iv. Adolph Edwin (Eddie) Albrecht was born on 13 Aug 1894 in Long Gully Near Mannum, South Australia, died on 4 Dec 1937 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia at age 43, and was buried on 5 Dec 1937 in Kiata, Victoria, Australia. The cause of his death was Cerebral Haemorrhage.

Adolph Edwin (Eddie) was born in South Australia in 1894 and was the second son of Reinhold and Maria.
It is believed that he was a fairly sickly child and that the doctors believed he would not survive long. The story goes that after having been told this Maria went out and bought a coffin for her sick infant. And this may also explain why they had a portrait of him taken as a child which they didn't have done with any of the other children.
Eddie however survived his childhood but it was said that he suffered from ill health for most of his life.
He spent his early years at the farm at Long Gully probably getting the early part of his education at Mannum, until when he was about ten years old he came to Victoria with his parents.
It is thought that he attended school at Kiata East which is the same school that his brother Bert and his sister Ella attended.
Later, when he left school, he worked for parents on the farm until the time of his marriage.
Eddie married Alvina Emily Hermann from Antwerp in 1926.
They settled on the farm at Gerang his parents bought from Haines Bros. in 1906, loving the farm life especially the animals.
Eddie and Alvina had four sons and two daughters.
They had to build a house on the farm in their early married life and they would
have found it tough going at the start.
Eddie worked horses on the farm and later bought a Case tractor in the middle thirties, but the tractor was of little help to him, for he was a sick man and he died of a stroke on the 4th of December, 1937.

Adolph married Alvina Emily Hermann, daughter of Johannes Julius Hermann and Auguste Emilie Trölenberg, on 16 Dec 1926 in Arkona, Victoria, Australia. Alvina was born on 8 Jul 1900 in Lyndoch, South Australia, Australia, was christened on 12 Aug 1900 in Lyndoch, South Australia, Australia, died on 12 Jul 2003 in Jeparit, Victoria, Australia at age 103, and was buried on 16 Jul 2003 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia.

Alvina was born 8th July 1900 at Lyndoch, SA, the youngest daughter of Johann Julius Hermann and Emilie nee Tralenburg. She was baptised at St. Jakobi Luthern Church, Lyndoch 12th August 1900 by Pastor E. Ey and confirmed on 1st November 1914, by Pastor J. Georg.
Her years at school were at Lyndoch and at the age of 22 she came to the Wimmera and kept house for her brother Ben and worked also in the Arkona, Antwerp area. There she met Eddie Albrecht whom she married at Arkona on 16th December 1926, Pastor E. Starick officiating. They settled on the farm at Gerang his parents bought from Haines Bros. in 1906, loving the farm life especially the animals.
Eddie and Alvina had four sons and two daughters.
They had to build a house on the farm in their early married life and they would
have found it tough going at the start.
Eddie worked horses on the farm and later bought a Case tractor in the middle thirties, but the tractor was of little help to him, for he was a sick man and he died of a stroke on the 4th of December, 1937.
Regrettably she was widowed at the age of 36 with 6 children to care for. Alvina and the older children worked very hard after Eddie’s death, together with a working man, Gus Nitschke.
Her second marriage was to Gus Nitschke on May 6, 1939 at Nhill, Pastor R. Eckermann officiating. Their only child was a daughter, Gladys. Sadness hit the family again in March 1940, this time the youngest daughter, Norma, was killed in a horse and gig accident. Norma was only six years of age.
Sadly she was widowed again in 1975 and soon after retired to Jeparit where she cared for herself until the age of 97. She had a fall and went to the Jeparit Hospital and then in the Nursing Home section of the Hospital until her death on Saturday 12th July 2003 at the age of 103 years and 4 days.

133 F v. Ella Irene Albrecht was born on 24 Jun 1897 in Long Gully Near Mannum, South Australia, died on 14 Sep 1978 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia at age 81, and was buried in 1978 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia.

134 M vi. Arthur Berthold (Bert) Albrecht was born on 18 Aug 1901 in Mannum, South Australia, Australia, died on 11 Jun 1992 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia at age 90, and was buried in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia.

Arthur Berthold (Bert) was born in South Australia in 1901 and was the third son of Reinhold and Mary.
Bert said he could remember going down the Murray River from Mannum on a river boat to Murray Bridge and on to Nhill by train with his mother and older sisters.
Bert and Theodore (Ted) were four years apart in age and went to school together, played football together for Kiata and Bert helped on his father's farm until 1926 when he married Freida Bertha Nitschke.
Bert bought 640 acres of Freida's father's farm at Antwerp and part of Mr. C. Block's land. Mr Block moved to Dimboola.
Freida's parents lived in Antwerp, some two hundred yards from Bert's farmhouse which was just over the Antwerp bridge on the left hand side.
Freida and Bert had one son, Kenneth Gordon who was born in 1927 and soon after his birth, Freida started to became crippled by muscular dystrophy and, later in life, she was to be confined to a wheel chair. Regardless of her disability Freida still continued to do her housework until late in life.
Their son, Ken, at the age of 14, developed the same illness and he too was later to be confined to a wheel chair.
In the early part of Bert and Freida's married life, their nephew Charlie Nitschke came to live with them. He became a tower of strength to the family. He helped Bert work the farm and was like a nurse in the house. He was indispensable to the family.
Bert and Charlie were noted for breeding pigs. It was common for them to top the pig market at Ballarat. They also had a lot of fowls and sold eggs. They were noted for killing pigs and smoking bacon and making all kinds of sausages.
Bert was a keen sportsman. He played football and, in 1926, was in the Antwerp premiership side. He also played cricket for many years with Antwerp.
After the Antwerp football club disbanded, Bert became a staunch supporter of the Dimboola football club.
In 1953, Bert built a new house with all modem conveniences so that Freida and Ken could move around more freely in their wheel chairs.
Bert was on many committees and was always there to help with any functions and he was always prepared to play the leading roll.
As time went by, Ken became weak and, on the 13th of May, 1980, he passed away.
This proved to be a turning point in Freida's life as she found it hard to cope with the loss of their son. She spent some weeks in the Dimboola Hospital and died the night before she was to go home.
Freida died just 18 months after Ken.
Bert lived on his farm with Charlie for two years after Freida died. He then went into the Allambi Elderly Peoples Home for the Aged in Dimboola. He was there until 1989. He was then moved to the Alister Hinchley Geriatric Wing of the Dimboola Hospital.
Bert died on the 11th of June, 1992 aged 90 years.

Arthur married Freida Bertha Nitschke, daughter of Carl Friedrich Nitschke and Mary Emilie Gogol, on 22 Apr 1926 in Victoria, Australia. Freida was born on 22 Dec 1907 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia, died on 28 Nov 1981 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia at age 73, and was buried in 1981 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia.

135 M vii. Theodore Gothilf (Ted) Albrecht was born on 13 Sep 1905 in Nhill, Victoria, Australia, died on 9 Aug 1976 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia at age 70, and was buried in 1976 in Dimboola, Victoria, Australia.

Theodore Gothilf (Ted) was born in Victoria in 1905 and was the fourth son of Gustav and Maria.
Ted was the only child of Gustav and Maria to be born in Victoria, all the others having been born in South Australia.
He was christened Theodore Gothilf after his mother's brother, Theodore Gottilf Strauss, who was killed four years earlier a tree falling onto the wagon he was driving.
Ted, with his brother Arthur (Bert), went to the Kiata East School which stood next to the Lutheran Church. The school closed before Ted and Bert had finished their schooling so, after its closure, they went to the Gerang Gerung State School, No. 2618.
On leaving school, Ted stayed home and worked on the family farm and enjoyed playing football with Kiata.
In 1929, Ted married Violet May Leith of Mitre, near Natimuk.
It can be noted that Ted had a strong bond with his brother Freidrick (Fred) and they worked together for years with sheep and carting hay. When cropping and harvesting came in they would always help each other. The two brothers leased a big acreage of the Little Desert which is now known as the National Park. They would put sheep in the “scrub as it was called at that time (the early thirties). The sheep would be put out there to graze from autumn to spring and then be brought back to the farms at Gerang where there would then be on good grass feed and shearing would start.
Sometimes they would have drovers move the sheep as far as the South Australian border and to Warracknabeal the next year.
The two brothers, with their working men, loved every minute of mustering in the “scrub' and one might think it was their annual holiday. This mustering started in the early thirties and continued to the late sixties with their two sons Bert and Harold.
In later years the National Park has named their camp sites “Albrecht's Bore”, “McCabe's Hut”, etc.
There was also a Cobb and Co. coach track through their part of the desert and a track that led to Natimuk.
Ted and Violet lived with Teds parents and worked the farm with them.
After the death of his father in 1939, and then his mother in 1949, Ted inherited the farm at Gerang Gerung which he worked very successfully.
During the years between 1932 and 1946, Ted purchased three 320 acre farms known as Ghrimes, Rauerts and Thieles. Then in 1955 he purchased 636 acres of ground at Kiata which belonged to the George Argall family.
Ted and Violet had four children, Harold, Norman, Theo and Gleniss.
Ted and Violet bought a house at 8 Victoria Street, Dimboola in 1956 and their daughter, Gleniss moved to Diinboola with them. The three sons stayed at Gerang to work on their farms.
Ted would drive out from Dimboola each day to look after his sheep and cattle on his Gerang and Kiata farms.
In 1966 he purchased another 360 acres of ground known as Deans. This land adjoined the homestead.
In 1972, Violet had a stroke which affected her eyesight and speech. She spent some time in the Nhill Hospital and was later transferred to the Epworth Hospital in Melbourne for further treatment. She recovered enough that she was able to do her work and look after her garden.
In 1975, Ted gave up working. It was plain to see that he was not well. Six months later, he was diagnosed as having lung cancer. Ted died on the 9th of August, 1976 aged 71 years.
Violet then lived on her own, looking after herself until 1984 when she decided she could not do it any longer.
She went into the Allambi Elderly Peoples Home for the Aged in Dimboola.
In 1990, she was moved to the Alister Hinchley Geriatric Centre in Dimboola.
She passed away on the 19th of August 1993.
