Letter dated 8.12.1960 from F McMillan, Special Magistrate
Eligibility for additional pension for children of widows'
pensioners on aborigine settlements.
Sarah Jane Jackson H/C at Point McLeay Aborigine Settlement.
Husband died on 4. 9.1960 at Tailem Bend Hospital leaving ten
children in her custody, care and control.
Before the husband's death, he was employed by the
Aborigines Department on a block at Narrung and lived there with his
family in a house rented from the Department. It has been learned
that he and the pensioner spent most of their married life in this way,
as fringe natives, away from reserves.
Because of the pensioner's parlous financial state following
her husband's death, the Aborigines Department arranged for her and
her family to be transferred to the Point McLeay Settlement where
they were provided with free accomodation and were fully maintained.
