People named Charlotte Jefferies

The Recorder, Port Pirie. S.A. 22nd April 1939. PIONEER TELOWIE RESIDENT DIES. Mrs. C. E. McHugh Was Born at Sea. Mrs. Charlotte Eliza McHugh, who died at Sunset Lodge, Mitcham, was a pioneer settler of Telowie, where two of her sons, Messrs. Hubert and Spencer McHugh still reside. The McHughs, the late Mr. James Brine, who was an old friend, and the Franks were among the earliest settlers to take up land in the district. At Telowie Mr. McHugh was a foundation member of the Baptist Church. She was later made a life deaconess, and for many years was a Sunday school teacher. Mrs. McHugh was 87 years of age, and leaves four sons and a daughter. There are also 23 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. Daughter of the late Mr. J. Jefferies, who was born in 1824, and his wife Harriet ( born 1818 ), Mrs. McHugh was one of a family of eight. She was born in an Australia-bound sailing ship when it was rounding Cape of Good Hope during one of that promontory's notorious stormy moods. She was born on October 21, 1851, and six weeks later the vessel, the Lysander, and the Jefferies with their infant daughter arrived in Australia. The dramatic circumstances of her entry into this world apparently stamped an indelible impression on the mind of the tiny mite, for throughout her life Mrs. McHugh could always visualize herself as being in a storm at Sea. 53 YEARS IN THE DISTRICT. Second daughter of the family she spent her early years at Peachy Belt. She married the late Mr. Edward McHugh on October 8, 1872, and the couple lived at Mallala. When the northern areas were opened up Mr. and Mrs. McHugh moved into the Telowie district. That was in 1878, and Mrs. McHugh remained a Telowie resident for more than half a century. In 1930, 53 years after having arrived in the district, Mrs. McHugh left to live in retirement at Mitcham. Mrs. McHugh was of a deeply religious nature, and before going to Telowie was a member of Mallala Methodist Church. Mr. McHugh died at Telowie in 1902, and was buried at Port Germein. Mrs. McHugh's remains have been interred at Mitcham. Surviving sons and daughters are Messrs. Hubert ( Telowie ), Reuben ( Dowerin, W. A. ), Cecil ( Adelaide ), Spencer ( Telowie), and Sister Muriel McHugh ( Launceston, Tasmania).
