Deceased was the daughter of the late James and Alice Doyle, and was born aboard ship in Portland Bay just prior to her parents landing after arriving in Australian waters. After residing at Portland for a very short time, her parents travelled per bullock waggon to Nangeela station, Casterton, where her father was employed. He afterwards selected land near Merino, and on the Wannon River. Deceased attended the Merino school when the building was an old bark hut situated at the back of where Mr. H. Kohn now resides.
