Emily Australia Tom was educated at Methodist Ladies’ College, Burwood, apparently at her grandfather’s expense. She and Thomas Sydney Lister, who married in the Wesleyan Chapel in Guyong NSW (near Byng), had 11 children. They farmed at Woodstocknear Cargo which is some 35 km SW of Orange on the Canowindra road, close to Mount Canobolas—a very cold part of the country. [The name of the property is said to have changed to Coffee Hillsand to be a vineyard. The homestead has long been a ruin. The area is or was called Paling Yard Creek, on the right side about 10 miles from Orange.] In retirement, they lived at 32 Day Street, Marrickville, where they had a spare blockfor their animals and vegetables. This is where they were when their son Sid went off to the Great War. Subsequently they moved to Orange. In widowhood, Emily lived in Orange with her sisters but, to escape the cold, wintered with the Crawshaws in Thirroul. | ||
