1876 : GUMMIE'S BUSH SCHOOL (Nth Riverton)

On Tuesday evening on the 8th August, we find Ernest attending a Social for parents and children at the Gummie's Bush School.    Apparently the place was named after a whaler, surname Leader who had no teeth, hence "Gummy", and it is said that he camped in the area.

[insert reference]

Emily involved herself with Ernest's employ, providing instruction in "plain and fancy needlework" to the girls.  This was described as "kind and able supervision".

In 1878, Ernest and Emily were still living in Gummie's Bush.   An advertisement in the Western Star, informed readers that school would be opened on the 15th April 1878,

Later in the year, 30 November, an advertisement is found offering Private Lessons - "Evening School" for "Young Ladies and Gentlemen" .  Three languages, Latin, French, and Italian were offered, as well as Drawing.  Fancy and Plain Needlework was also provided by Emily.  

Presumably this was at the end of the School year, and was perhaps an initiative to bring in an income over the holidays.
