Читать книгу Stories From Under The Carpet - Jane Turton - Страница 1

As members of a local historical society Jane and Lynn sought to write about some of Waverley’s rich historical past. Jane has a Diploma of Family Historical Studies and lives in the City of Monash (formerly Waverley) and Lynn is a former resident of Waverley who has an interest in Family History. The stories grew out of a presentation Jane made on true ‘Murders and Mysteries’ to the Waverley Historical Society, and then subsequently to other audiences who loved the stories and asked for more. Erica Gage provided the illustrations to add depth to events long gone.

The following is a small collection of actual events that have happened in and around Waverley in Victoria. The events were and still are tragic, some leaving a significant impact on the family members left behind.

The authors have tried as far as possible to verify dates, names, places and facts. However, mistakes were accidentally recorded or reported at the time, making finding the truth now more difficult. Every effort has been taken to ensure no direct family members who may be still alive have been named. If we have overlooked anything, no offence has been intended.

The authors have presented the stories in a way to show the events as a part of a broader community history rather than just a singular tragic event. Consideration has been given to how people’s lives were shaped by the culture and times in which they lived, their personal circumstances and their individual differences. This has been done so as to understand why these events unfolded in the way they did.
