Sarah Ann Rogers

Was bedridden for approximately 14 years during later life.

In keeping with housewives of farmers and labourers of the time their was very little leisure so interests were practically non-existent. She did however, enjoy cooking.

Daughter Ruth reminisced about the time in about 1942/3 (when her mother received a pension of 15/- {$1.50} pw and Ruth earned 15/- wages pw as a 15 year old shop assistant) when they had no money left over and family were to visit at the weekend. Ruth had to go to the butcher's and ask for a leg of lamb and "...we'll pay you next week."

At this time they lived in Goulburn Street, Seymour. Rent was 1/- pw.
