Register entry 312 - Mary Jane Elwood


Was the last person to sign the Bell Farm Visitors Register - on Dec. 1, 1895 - Mary Jane Elwood (nee Caldwell) is believed to be the mother of Catherine Anne Elwood, Major Bell's first wife. Her signature in the Visitor's Register is the last one before Major Bell permanently left the Farm. It is surmised that she came out to see where her daughter lived for 13 years, and to retrieve some of her possessions before the Farm was sold.
