Notes |
DeathEliza Green was known as Babe, being the youngest child in her family, and Lila. In 1909 she married Charles Thomas Swift and the couple had two sons. She died after 5 years marriage, aged 25. The following is extracted from statements provided at the Coroner's Inquest.
Lila's three year old son was unable to wake his mother on the afternoon of 22 April 1914 while his father was at work and asked a girl who lived next door for assistance. Lila was lying on her bed, with arms across her breast and legs crossed. The girl was unable to wake Lila and called a woman from across the street who determined that Lila was dead. Lila's sister-in-law Gertrude Reece had been called and soon arrived. She called a doctor who confirmed death. Charles, Lila's husband, had been at work all day and returned home when he was informed of his wife's death. He stated that during the day she had done two weeks washing and prepared the evening meal. He knew she was pregnant, but thought she was happy.
A post mortem indicated that Lila died of shock during an attempted abortion by persons unknown. Police inquiries could not identify any visitors to Charles and Lila's residence on the day of her death. Lila was buried in Coburg Pine Ridge Cemetery, Melbourne.
