Wilhelmina Krushka
Whilhelmina was born onboard the sailing vessel Wilhelmsburg a few weeks prior to the ship arriving in Hobart Town (1855) Van Diemens land. Her name was not added to the ships passenger manifest which created a problem issuing a death certificate at Richmond Tasmania. Three year old Wilhelminia died when her health suddenly deteriorated whilst walking home from a weekly shopping trip to Richmond on a very hot summers day. Johanna (her mother) with the help of the other children had to carry her for about 3 miles of the 5 mile trip. The doctor from Richmond was called but she died that night of suspected heat exhaustion or TB. Wilhelmina is buried in a unmarked grave at Richmond, Tasmania. She was named after the ship she was born on.
