The Postmaster's daughters

These golden-haired girls once lived in the Postmaster’s residence which now forms part of the Jarrahdale Heritage Society Museum. Brenda and Elsie Burgess were aged 3 and 5 when this photo was taken some time between 1908 and 1912, when their father Charles Burgess served as postmaster. The Burgess family had four children here, including a son who, tragically, died at 10 months of age.
