Note

Elizabeth ROWNEY was a local identity. She was very much an individual, but obviously showed care and comcern for those less fortunate than herself. She was involved in many ways in the community, as the following extract from "From Sand, Swamp & Heath" A History of Caulfield, 1980, attests:

"Despite the personal and social problems of a burgeoning urban area and the later failure of money supplies, Caulfield's 'townfolk' slowly made urban life satisfying. Help came from such esteemed residents as Dr Christopher GRIFFITHS who trained at St Bartholomew's and specialised in child care before arriving in Elsternwick in 1888. He subsequently became the local Health Officer and Public Vaccinator. But most help probably came from people assisting each other in hundreds of ways. Many elderly survivors of these times fondly remember the benevolence of one or two local people. Mrs ROWNEY is one such personality remembered by Mrs D. AMOR. Mrs ROWNEY was home-help and midwife by self appointment to many families near the racecourse, and she kept up her role for many years. She is remembered as late as World War I when a German, who was a local bottle-oh and suspected alien, died. His widow was left quite distraught, but 'Mrs ROWNEY took her under her wing'."

Elizabeth had a flair for artistic pursuits and made crepe paper flowers for use in local picture theatres. She regularly showed these at the Royal Melbourne Show.
