Wurm (Family), 1861, Mixed material, PRG 1753
Records spanning three generations of the family of Louis and Julia Wurm from Stansbury, including: a photograph of Julia and Louis Wurm and their baby Ellie, ca.1861. On the back of the photo is what is possibly the only known pictorial record of John Howell book shop at No. 4 Rundle Street. There are letters from friends, to the young Ellie, and letters from her fiance Richard Yeo who was assigned to the bank at Yongala in 1879. Amongst other things he describes the bank building where they were to live. It seems that Richard remained at Yongala and his wife Ellie moved to Unley with their three children. Their youngest child, nicknamed Wally, enlisted in WW1 and his letters from France and the front line and from England when injured are included in this group. Also comprising obituaries and newspaper clippings relating to the Wurm and Yeo families in South Australia, family member calling cards, invitations, and a poem sent to Ellie Wurm and written by Dean Russell.
