Mission to Seafarers Victoria
Photograph - Photograph mounted, The Swiss Studio, Funeral of Roy Rutley aka Rattley (Apprentice) of Barque Metropolis, 08/08/1914
Barque Metropolis was possibly that of the 1887 4 masted barque built by R & J Evans, Liverpool. Officers of the Barque Metropolis are also joined by crew of the Penryhn Castle in port at the time. The ladies on the far right of the funeral party may be relatives but more likely to be representatives from the Mission to Seamen offering sympathy to fellow crew members and honouring the burial of the apprentice, Ray Rattley name also reported in the LHLG newsletter as Rutley. The Apprentice was ill after arriving from S. America in August 1914 and was taken to a local hospital but died the following day. The Mission chaplain attended him.The image of the burial is significant in the depiction of a multi-cultural crew and the presence of local women representing and symbolising the concern and sympathy felt for the apprentice's family and the plight of young seafarers far from home ports. The inscription with identifying names provides a valuable chronological link with seafarers and clergy attending the burial and funeral. Black and white photographic print adhered to mount board with handwritten inscription identifying some of the people depicted photographed while attending an internment and funeral service.Inscriptions in black ink along the lower edge of the mount beneath Photograph: Left to right names of crew and chaplain see image.at Lwr left printed in cursive : 'The Swiss Studios' and at right corner: "Melbourne" on reverse: in Pencil handwritten cursive " To Rev A G Goldsmith / from Capt P Jones / Barque Metropolis " roy rutley, barque metropolis, funeral, burial -

Photograph - Portrait, Vincent Kelly, Ethel Garvin, Mayoress 1931 - 32 , 1938 - 39, unknown
Prior to the election of female Councillors and Mayors in the 1960’s, the Lady Mayoress role was one of the few ways women could officially undertake civic duties. Mayoresses made important contributions to their local communities through their charity work and as ambassadors for their region on a state and federal level. They also undertook some Mayoral duties on occasions when their husband was unavailable. Ethel Rose Douglas married George Dawson Garvin in 1906 and was twice Mayoress from 1931 - 32 and 1938 - 39. Mayoress Ethel Garvin died in 1952 aged 74 and had been an esteemed member of the Women's Central Auxiliary of the Bendigo Base Hospital, a member of the Baby Health Centre and Mayoral Ladies Auxiliary.

Prior to the election of female Councillors and Mayors in the 1960’s, the Lady Mayoress role was one of the few ways women could officially undertake civic duties. Mayoresses made important contributions to their local communities through their charity work and as ambassadors for their region on a state and federal level. They also undertook some Mayoral duties on occasions when their husband was unavailable. Annie Mary (Mollie) Sibson was born in England in 1904 and worked as a nursing sister at Bendigo Base Hospital until her marriage to Alec Sandner in 1933. Mollie was an active member of the community and was particularly interested in raising the participation of girls in sports and the lack of competitive sports opportunities for girls led Mollie to create an inter school tennis competition in 1944. The Mollie Sandner Cup continues to be played today and Mollie was recognised by the Sportswomens' Association of Bendigo for her contribution to women's sports.

Memorabilia - Doctor Lilian Cleeve Collection, 1915 - 1996
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.
