Teacher of the Turipa State School on A. Hamlet JONES' Turipa Farm in Coorow in 1919 [215]
She and "Trix" Sarah A. E. JONES held a dance at the JONES' home on Turipa Farm on 17 May 1919 [9: 30-May-1919]
In late June 1919 the Education Department decided to move her to Coorow to reopen the closed Coorow State School [215]

Teacher of the Coorow State School from two rooms of the unoccupied Coorow House in Coorow in 1919 and 1920 [215]
Left Coorow and shifted to Perth on 5 November 1920 [215]
She left partly on account of illness and also because there was no building available to conduct the school from [215]
Called upon the Education Department in Perth on 8 November 1920 and encouraged them to continue with the school in Coorow [215]
At that time there were 14 schoolchildren and Coorow was likely to go ahead as there were surveyors busily surveying new farms [215]
