SANDFORD, Mary F Daly 602/2476 1938
=====
Mrs. Mary Sandford, 90, who died on June 23, was one of Wallaroo's oldest residents and a pioneer of the State. She was the daughter of the late Mr. L. and Mrs. L. Chatfield. Born at George Steet, Thebarton,
Mrs. Sandford spent an eventful life. At the age of 19 she married Mr. Robert Sandford, at Seven Hills College, Clare. From Clare the couple travelled to the Echunga gold diggings in a bullock waggon, their home being a wattle and daub hut. With the petering out of the diggings the couple went to Dunn's Bridge, and from there to Maitland, living on a farm belonging to the late Mr. Tom Hogan.
Mr. and Mrs. Sandford took a new farm at Tippara, and from there transferred to Wallaroo Mines, where they lived for seven years. Forty-three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Sandford went to Wallaroo, remaining there for the remainder of their lives. After living at Wallaroo for some time, Mrs. Sandford opened a boarding house in Stirling street. This was disposed of ten years ago, on the death of her husband. She then resided with her daughter, Mrs. P. McMahon, until her death. For many years Mrs. Sandford was blind, but until a few weeks before her death could sew, threading the needle with the help of her tongue.
