Rachel
Currens married George Francis. The couple crossed the Alps in the
1860s. The journey took them 12 months to complete. On reaching Mt
Battery, they set up camp, as their infant child was ill, she died and
is buried at the foot of the mount. The family settled in Omeo, and
George name appears on several occasions for horse stealing, he later
left the district and Rachel and the children and went to NSW. He never
returned. Poverty
stricken and ill, Rachel had here four youngest children taken from her
and placed in an institution. The records clearly state they were
neglected. The youngest child died several weeks later. Rachel died in
1916 in Omeo and is buried in an unmarked grave at the Omeo Pioneer
Cemetery |
