Gathering of seafarers and MTS clergy and LHLG members, at Glenfern 1906. Mrs Mary Danne daughter of Reverend Kerr Johnston was a widow at the time and was renting Glenfern, the property once owned by the Boyd family, and started a private primary school she called Newington College. A member of the Mission's committee from 1905 to 1926 when she passed away, a bras plaque was made in her memory and placed in the chapel of the Flinders Street Mission. (see item 0690) In the Standard published on Saturday 17 November 1906, page 4 we could read: "In connection with the Victoria Missions to Seamen a successful and pleasant outing, was given to the sailors in port on King's Birth day. Mrs. Danne, of "Glenfern," St. Kilda, threw her house and grounds open tor sports and tea. Cricket, football and sports were enthusiastically pursued, and ample justice was done to the substantial tea provided by Mrs. Danne and her friends. The Misses Danne, Miss Godfrey and other ladies were untiring in their attentions. Mr. Axell, first officer of brig Fairy Rock, in a few appropriate words thanked Mrs. Danne and the ladies, on behalf of the sailors, for their kind hospitality. Snapshots of the party were taken by Mrs. Goldsmith. Mr. C A. Holmes and Mr. Cedric Campbell acted as stewards and starters for the races. On the invitation of the chaplain (Rev. A G. Goldsmith*) ringing cheers were given for Mrs. Danne and the ladies. Before the party broke up Mrs Danne addressed a few kind words to the men and gave them all a shake of the band at the gate. The rest of the evening was spent at the Institute, Beach street, where games and competitions were carried on to the accompaniment of vocal and instrumental music. The prizes won at the sports etc., were distributed, and after singing the National Anthem the party broke up."Thanks to the article in the Standard, Saturday 17 November 1906, page 4, we learn that some of the early sepia photographs were taken by Mrs Gurney Goldsmith herself.Small monochrome photograph depicting a group of seamen and ladies with the Mission's Flagstaff.1906, glenfern, st kilda east, picnic, lhlg, king's birthday, edward vii, mary alice isabelle danne nee johnston, 1851-1926, reverend kerr johnston, 1812-1887, boyd family, sailors, seamen, seafarers, bowler hat, cap, boater hat, snapshots, camera, photographer, sports, cricket, football, ethel augusta godfrey 1861-1935, mr axell, fairy rock, charles arthur holmes (-1947), mrs gurney goldsmith, anne treverton goldsmith (nee lobb), cedric campbell

Melbourne Legacy is one of Australia’s oldest and most significant veteran‑family support organisations, founded in 1923 by returned World War I servicemen led by Captain Stanley Savige. Its purpose has always been to uphold The Promise “to look after the missus and the kids” by supporting the widows, children, and dependents of veterans who died or were injured as a result of their service. The Melbourne Legacy Footscray -Sunshine Branch beginning occurred in late 1957, at which time Legatees John Lobb and Phil Dietrich, a past President of Melbourne Legacy called upon Mr Jack Vance, finance Director of H.V McKay Massey Harris Ltd to discuss with him the establishment of a branch of Legacy within the Footscray - Sunshine and neighbouring municipalities. It was then that Jack Vance rang Ron Crosie and asked him if he could join them in their current discussions, which he did. A number of other meetings were held with various people and subsequently the Melbourne Legacy Footscray -Sunshine Branch was formed.Melbourne Legacy The History Of The Footscray - Sunshine Branchmelbourne legacy, melbourne legacy footscray -sunshine branch, john lobb, phil dietrich, jack vance, ron crosie, h.v mckay massey harris
