MRS. ELLEN NELSON

The Braidwood district lost another of its old hands on 25th October, when Mrs. Ellen Nelson passed away at the great age of 88 years. She was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rex, of Brushy Hill, where she was born. When only a young woman she left Braidwood, and later married Mr. John Nelson, who predeceased her many years ago. The old lady, who resided at Auburn, where she was cared for in her home by her niece, Mrs. Barrett (sister of Mr. Fred Rex), ever since the death of her son and daughter, was, despite her years, very active, and was in full possession of all her faculties. She could relate all the happenings of the old times, and often spoke of the big corroboree at Brushy Hill by the blacks, who in those days were in considerable numbers in the district. There were many different tribes, each one having its own king. The late Mrs. Nelson was an excellent horsewoman in her young days, and could hold her own with any of the crack men riders. The death of her only two children, a son and a daughter, which occurred suddenly and within about five months of each other, was a terrible blow to the old lady. The son was a returned member of the first A.I.F. and the daughter had been in the Education Department for many years. Both were single and lived with their mother at Auburn. The late Mrs. Nelson, who often visited Braidwood, was a good Roman Catholic and a woman of very high Christian ideals. A brother, Mr. Richard Rex (Sydney) survives. The late Mr. Jas. Rex, of Brushy Hill, was a brother.
