Today's Melbourne Age has an obituary on page 17 for Margaret Alison STONE nee TISDALL, 11.3.1911 to 5.4.2005. Stone was the daughter of Herbert TISDALL, a civil engineer, niece of Constance TISDALL and therefore grand-daughter of Henry TISDALL, head teacher of the Walhalla State School. Other famous teachers in the family included her great-aunt, Clara Weeks, who opened the state school at Glenmaggie (after sending down from Walhalla for a horse, so she could get there), who went on to be the most senior female teacher in Victoria. Margaret Stone was a trained nurse, and enlisted in the Australian Women's Army Nursing Service in World War II. She had a distinguished careeer in the service, and in nursing afterwards. I am clipping out my copy of the obituary, filing it inside "Forerunners", by Constance Tisdall, which documents the family. Linda
