Ida Lewers, the fifth child of Annie and Samuel Lewers, was born at Linton in 1865. During World War I, she moved to Berry, NSW, where she lived with her older brother, Dr Thomas Ross Lewers. In Berry she was Secretary of the local branch of the Red Cross, and was on the management committee of the Red Cross home for convalescent soldiers. When she left Berry she was presented by the "Diggers of Berry" with an 'illuminated address', in appreciation of her services. In 1926, Ida Lewers returned to live at Linton, at first with her brother William Ochiltree Lewers and his family at Mannibadar, and afterwards at the former Bank of New South Wales building where she had lived as a child. Ida Lewers taught Sunday School classes and was deeply involved with the Church of England throughout her life. She died in 1947, age 80.Mounted oval black and white photograph of a young woman.On back, written in ink: "Miss Lewers, one of 5 daughters of Samuel Lewers".ida lewers

This is understood to be a house at Pitfield which was lived in by Alan (Allan) McDonald and his wife Rosanna, née Lewis. LDHS records have this house named as "Aston Cottage", however correspondence with a McDonald descendant in 2020 suggests that the house may have been called "Afton Cottage", as the McDonald family later lived at a property at Linton which they understood was called "Afton Grove".Enlarged black and white copy of original photograph which has been mounted on white card. The photograph shows the front of a weatherboard house which has twin gables and a verandah. A woman wearing a long gown with an apron is sitting in a rocking chair on the verandah; a man who is wearing a suit and a hat is standing next to her.aston cottage, afton cottage?, alan (allan) mcdonald, rosanna (rose or rosina) mcdonald née lewis, pitfield, houses
