Historical information

Mrs. Julia Wurm (nee Crush) (c.1837-1912) came to South Australia from Brentwood, Essex, England in the 'Calcutta' in 1849. Her husband, Louis F. Wurm (1833-December 1910), was a shipping agent, wheat-buyer, store-keeper, and builder at Stansbury. Port Julia on the east coast of the Yorke Peninsula is named after Julia Wurm. They were married on 28 May 1859 and had eight children: Elizabeth Julia (Ellie) (1860-1948), Ludwig (later Louis) (1862-1904), Frederick Henry (1865-1938), Gertrude Mary (1867-), Gustav Adolph (1869-), Walter Charles (1872-), Alfred Ernest (1877-), and Mabel Josephine (1883-1918). Their eldest daughter, Ellie, married Richard Curtis Yeo (1852-1903), bank manager at Yongala, in 1881. They had three children: Minnie Annette (1882-), Frederick Haydon Curtis (1884-1963), and Lindley Wilton (or Lindley Walter) (1894-1966), known as 'Wally', who enlisted with the AIF, No.3329 Pte. L.W. Yeo, and served on the Western Front during the First World War.
