Death of Mrs.
A. V. Haub
The death occured of .Mrs.
Anna Elizabeth Haub of Spring
wood on Monday, 17th. Novem-
ber. Mrs. Haub who had been
ailing for some time, passed
away at the resident of her
daughter Mrs. A. J. Bramby, of
Centennial Park.
The late Mrs. Haub was the
eldest daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Conrad Hildebrand,
who were anions the early pio
neers of this district. She was
born at Ballarat 80 years ago.
She first went with ner parents
to live at Young, but 67 years
ago came to this district where
Mr. Hildebrand, senior selected
a property which comprises the
Ditchfield and Vinecombe prop-
erties. At the time the Gagie
and Lange families were the
only settlers in that locality
so that Mr. and Mrs. Hildebrand
and their family of eleven sons
and daughters were among the
earliest pioneer settlers in this
district.
Mrs. Haub married the late
Jacob Haub and settled at
"Wattle Flat", Calleen, where
they lived for many years, rear-
ing a family of six daughters
and one son. Later they retired
to Bellevue Hill, where the late
Mr. Haub predeceased her 27
years ago. During the time they
lived in the Calleen district they
saw many changes, such as the
extension of the railway. Prior
to this, all wheat and wool was
carted by waggons to the rail
head at Temora.
Pioneering a district was no
easy task but Mr. and Mrs.
Haub were true pioneers and
won through many difficulties
and trials. They were well and
favourably known being good
[ neighbours and when they left
the district was poorer for their
going. Their property has since
been sub-divided, but portion
it is still known as "Wattle
Flat".
The remains were brought to
West Wyalong by Wednesday's
train. The funeral cortege pro-
ceeded directly from train to
cemetery. The Church of Eng-
land service at the graveside
was conducted by the Rev.
Canon W. E. Butler. The pall-
bearers were her grandsons,
Messrs. George. Carl, Basil, Gus
Haub. The local mortuary ar-
rangements were in the hands
of Messrs. R. and G Stephenson.

son and sis daughters. The son

(Mrs. Clarke of Bellevue Hill)
I Mabel, (Mrs. Shepherd of Ma-
roubra). Sybil, (Mrs. King),

bel (Mrs. Parker) of Maroubra.

ly after the family came to
