Doctor Lilian Marjorie Cleeve was born in 1915 and died in February 1996. She grew up in Moonee Ponds and graduated as a doctor from the University of Melbourne School of Medicine in 1941. She completed her training at the Women's Hospital in Melbourne from Dec 1940 to Jan 1941 where she delivered her first baby, Beverley Margaret Manley. In 1942 at the beginning of the war with Japan, Dr Cleeve travelled to Bendigo. The train was full of soldiers travelling to camp at the Bendigo Show Grounds (Now the Tom Flood Centre), next to the hospital. Because of the war, the streets were all dark. Some soldiers carried her suitcase for her to her new home. Doctor Cleeve immediately began work as the hospital registrar. Later-on she specialized in the delivery of babies, who always seemed to be born on her days off. After the hospital Lilian joined the medical practice run by Drs (husband and wife) Gorman and Grant. Their rooms were on the corner of View and Mckenzie streets, the Atkinson building (Named after Doctor Harry Atkinson). Later on her medical practice was where the Dan Murphy's Car Park is now in Garsed St. Later she had an eye clinic with Dr Gorman's son, on the other side of Garsed St. She also used to visit Puckapunyal Army Base to screen both the regular army and the conscripts who were sent to Vietnam. She last worked as part of their associate medical staff at the Bendigo Teacher's College in Osborne St (1979 to 1980). In 1944 Lilian married Sargent George Cathcart (Fortuna Army Survey Regiment). They lived at 96 Moore St (Called 'Silver Birches') close to the hospital. Later they purchased the house (which they named 'Roslyn') at 28 Reginald St., Quarry Hill. With George, she had one son, Andrew. George was the secretary/treasurer of the Bendigo branch of the Liberal party. After George passed away from a heart attack, Dr Cleeve married Roy Lockart Chisholm in 1960, he was the manager of the Charing Cross Branch of the CBA Bank. Not long after the marriage, Dr Cleeve (now Mrs Chisholm), Roy and their son Andrew had a voyage on the cargo vessel "Milos" to Hong Kong, Japan, New Guinea and Borneo (where they visited the Sandakan War Memorial). Sadly, Roy died in 1963 after a stroke. Respected and well-liked, Mrs Chisholm raised Andrew in Reginald Street with the assistance of her faithful housekeeper Coral Suurpaa. Coral lived in a house in Breen Street, right beside the Myrtle St railway bridge.
