| 370 | 94th BIRTHDAY , Mrs. Martha Weatherby A REMARKABLE WOMAN Married three times, the mother of fourteen children, 94 years of age last Thursday, and the most cheerful soul one could wish to meet, is the remarkable record of Mrs. Martha Weatherby, who lives with her daughter, Mrs. Frank Delaney, in Church Street. She remembers Cooma Street when it was a dirt track. Mrs. Weatherby is probably the oldest resident in the town and district. She was inundated with telephone calls and telegrams last Thursday, congratulating her on reaching the 94th milestone. On Friday a "Tribune-Courier" representative called on her and congratulated her. To hear the genuine laugh of a person of her years, is a tonic in itself. Mrs. Weatherby is mentally alert and retains all her faculties. She says she is slightly hard of hearing, but in conversation this defect is scarcely apparent and one learns that she spoke to one of her daughters in Sydney last week by telephone. Her eyesight is good and she reads the local and daily papers. She follows all local affairs through the "Tribune- Courier" and on Friday she had read the discussion on the sewerage question published only the previous afternoon. Up to twenty years ago Mrs. Weatherby was one hundred per cent, physically efficient. At that time of her life she suffered a bad attack of neuritis and sometimes she gets attacks which require the injection of a needle to relieve the pain: otherwise she is full of the joy of life. Many Changes It is difficult for people of this generation to realise the changes which have taken place in this country and indeed the world, during Mrs. Weatherby's lifetime. When she was a girl trains were unknown and wire- less, motor cars, and aviation were unheard of. In those days it was difficult to buy a vehicle of any sort. Transport, like life itself, was in its primitive stages in the colony. Mrs. Weatherby has lived within 30 miles of Yass for 90 years. Born at Windsor, she was christened in the historic old church there and when she was four years of age her father, who was a carrier, took up land at Thorsby Creek, Burrowa. Her father died at the age of 73 and her mother lived to the age of 84. When Mrs. Weatherby was a girl there were a number of blacks in the Burrowa district who were, to use her own words, "wild fellows." They frequently came to the homestead and demanded food. This was an annual expense and it was not always convenient to give it to them, as supplies were limited. On one occasion when Mrs. Weatherby was a girl of 15, and her father was away, she saw the blacks come across the hills to her home. Seizing a shot gun, she made them keep their distance. Mrs. Weatherby's recipe for longevity is plenty of hardwork, plain food, and no fads. No one has worked harder than she has and she says she enjoyed every year of it. In those days she worked in the paddocks in the daytime and the home at night. Her father told her if he had a son he could not have done more work than she did. And little wonder. Mrs. Weatherby could plough, reap and harrow as well as any man. For years she worked side by side in the paddocks with her father. She was an excellent horsewoman and as often as not it was a young brumby which many young men would be wary of. The only enjoyment apart from work, was an occasional dance and one rode a horse to such a function. Mrs. Weatherby frequently covered 20 miles on horseback in a day but outings were few and far between. Education a Luxury In those days education was a luxury and was only enjoyed by a few. Mrs. Weatherby learned to read and write later in life by self-tuition. Her father made all the furniture in her home and the seats of the chairs were made out of bullock hide. She wore print dresses. It is not easy in this advanced age to realise how primitive life was in those days. The average child from 10 on to-day knows what is happening either by leafing newspapers or hearing their people talk. In those days newspapers mainly because of lack of transport, were as scarce as most other conveniences and a girl in Mrs. Weatherby's position was practically isolated from the world. All she knew of the outside world was what she occasionally heard from the conversation of her elders. Mrs. Weatherby subsequently lived at Wargeila and on the Bowning Road at an hotel, where Mr. Shells now lives, and then at the Yass Hostel, where Mr. Bert Asprey's garage is to-day. It was at that period that Mrs. Weatherby enjoyed the most prosperous years in her lifetime, although Yass was then only a country village and Cooma Street was a dirt track. When her husband conducted the hotel on the Bowning Road they had a visit from the notorious bushrangers, Ben Hall and Gilbert. The two bushrangers called for drinks, paid for them, and left without saying a word. Mrs. Weatherby's husband recognised them as soon as they entered. When Mrs. Weatherby's husband conducted the Yass Hotel, where they .lived for 20 years, the population was small and most of the homes were bark huts. "She has vivid recollections of the '70 flood. "We sat there all day watching the water creep up. Finally it rose as high as the counter: When I got in a cart at the front to leave it was full of water," she said. Mrs. Weatherby saw Yass incorporated into a municipality, and she saw the introduction of gas, water and light. But it is a long span from there to the time when her father made the only lamp they had in the home. It comprised a tin with dirt in the bottom and fat on the top. Matches were unknown. Her father produced a spark from tinder boxes and flint. Each night the ashes were carefully covered to keep them alive to start the fire next day. If the fire happened to go out it meant a journey to the nearest neighbour to get warm ashes. Subsequently kerosene was introduced. To-day Mrs. Weatherby reads under electric light and enjoys an electric water bottle in her bed. Such is progress. What Was a Piano It seems incredible that a person living to-day used to wonder what a piano was, but such was Mrs. Weatherby's experience when she was a girl. When she was a girl of 12 she visited some people living at "Cliftonwood," on the Yass River, and there for the first time in her life Mrs. Weatherby saw a piano and heard it played for the first time. No wonder she enjoys the wireless today. "It is wonderful," she said. "I like listening to music. I sit by the wireless for hours. Wireless has been a great benefit to me of late years." Mrs. Weatherby explained that for a person of her age who is is unable to move about, the radio brought the world to her door, as it were. She gets the news from it and listens to all kinds of talks. Apart from reading and sewing, Mrs. Weatherby usually plays patience every night. She finds this an ideal mental recreation and she often works out two hands of patience in a night. She also plays an occasional game of euchre. Mrs. Weatherby has no regrets. She has enjoyed life and she still enjoys it. Regarding the rearing of a family of fourteen, she dismisses it very lightly. "Having children was a great pleasure to me. I don't think I could have lived had I not had children. I was very fond of them," she said. Mrs. Weatherby paid a feeling tribute to the loyalty and care bestowed on her by her daugh- ter, Mrs. Delaney, who has looked after her for the last 24 years "I don't think I would be here to-day if it were not for her," she said, "and Frank (meaning Mr. Frank Delaney) is just as good. " She also appreciates what the other members of the family have done for her. Mrs. Weatherby has one brother living. Mr. Hez Crossley (Wargeila), and three sisters, Mrs. John Horton (Dutton Street), Mrs. W. Mills (Pudman) and Mrs. McGregor (Wargeila). The surviving children are: Mr. Chris Alt (Newtown), Mr. Jim Alt, (postmaster, Bowning), Mrs. Mellerish (Lindfield), Mrs. J Sheekey (Pritchard Street), Mr. Fred Mote Mr. Walter Mote (Strathfield), Mr Albert Mote (Yass), Mrs. Frank De- laney and Mrs S.
