Notes:

The Family Home

'Wyuna' at 105 High Street, Belmont was the family home of Frederick Forbes HERD and Alice Rose HERD (m.n. SUMNER).

'Wyuna' is believed to be Aboriginal in origin meaning 'Clear water'.

"Wyuna" was built by and originally owned by Emil Theodore SICHLAU who was a Geelong financier and commission agent. His origins were probably Danish and it is believed that he had something to do with the early Geelong chicken industry.
____
My most vivid memory of 'Wyuna' is the huge gilt-framed mirror in the front room which in this day and age would be worth a very tidy sum. It is believed that this mirror was in the house when Frederick Forbes HERD purchased the property.
____
It is also believed that the ownership of 'Wyuna' was transferred to Frederick Forbes HERD's youngest brother Francis Oswald HERD in the early 1950s, probably in relation to the settlement of a debt. Frederick Forbes and Francis Oswald had been in partnership in a cattle dealing business up until about that time. At about this time, Francis Oswald HERD founded the wholesale butchery business of M.C. Herd in the name of his wife Maud Cecilia HERD (m.n. LAMB).

The home was demolished in the 1950s and eventually made way for the current Chinese restaurant.

SUMNER Alice Rose was born 23 Aug 1881, Fitzroy VIC (daughter of SUMNER Henry Thomas and MCGINTY Rose Mary); died 15 Jul 1954, 105 High Street, Belmont VIC; was buried 17 Jul 1954, Barrabool Hills Cemetery, Highton VIC.

Name: Alice Rose HERD
Occupation: Home Duties
_UID: 4C93AA9D2A3B4B57A497D6B3E28D0A7FE9A6

Notes:

Alice Rose SUMNER (1881-1954) was committed to the Neglected Childrens System (No. 17810) on 24 Nov 1890 soon after the arrest of her father for coining (counterfeiting). She was fostered at several addresses in the Bendigo area and later at Ascot Vale, Williamstown, Brunswick, Moonee Ponds, Cape Clear and Highton.

As was the custom, her term in that system expired on her eighteenth birthday (23 Aug 1899) presumably while she was still at Highton where she was in the care of a Mrs. COWAN. One can safely guess that this is where she first met her future husband Frederick Forbes HERD (1872-1944). On her record there is a note as follows: "girl is engaged to a young man named HERD, 29/4/01".
