Full list of children and quite a few details about her 61 grandchidren (3 'in the Australian Imperial Forces and are now fighting at the Front... Clement Edwards... William Petersen... James Schultz.
Sent to DEA by Stock & Bennett, Socilitors and Notaries, Adelaide, 13 November 1916.
Police Report, A. R. West, Mounted Constable, n/d: 'of good character and highly respected in the district... always been a loyal citizen and has given freely to Patriotic Funds during the War.' no other Germans in her life. thought living in Australia for so long meant she did not need to do so. Recommended.
8 Dec 1916, Hunt notices and asks about p.2 of her affidavit, which stated that her parents had been naturalized.
Reply from Solicitors, 18 December 1916 - she was mistaken about her parents.
George Dankel, House of Representatives, Melbourne, to Mrs Schulz, 14 December: 'only too pleased to arrange the matter for her - if at all possible - and I think in her case it will be. As I have known your grandparents - so I know your mother-in-law very well indeed - in fact I know just about the whole family... I can most conscientiously recommend to the Minister the granting of the Naturalisation.' Can't remember if he naturalised grandparents, but wouldn't matter as she was over 21 at the time.
