Sarah Eliza Maud DAMMEREL [18611]

  General Notes:

South Solitary Island NSW
After her sister Matilda married Maud did most of the signal work which she had become most efficient at.
The late Mrs George Drury, who was formerly Jessie Cowling, remembered that whilst camping at Shelly Beach at Christmas time 1911, she watched the words of love being exchanged by morse light between Maud Dammerel and John Henry Fisher, (Harry as he was known). Maud and Harry's conversations by morse light would go on for some time. On occasions Harry came across to Shelly Beach in a row boat to picnic with Maud at the beach. This most certainly was quite an accomplishment as later he would have to row back again and go on duty for his "watch" at the Light. Maud was also quite energetic as she would have to climb the rope ladder up the Signal mast to the Crows Nest where she had a wide view of the surrounding area.
Maud and Harry Fisher were married at Dammerel's homested on 18^th September, 1912.
