Caroline Mercy Alice Moon

  Research Notes:

Marianne Sylphide? notes:
I came across your listing of Caroline Mercy Alice MOON on your tree, and thought you might want to add that she died on 21 Apr
1894 in Double Bay, NSW. She never married. She spent some time in Victoria where she had a poultry farm and was breeding game birds etc for a while. She also had a restaurant in Melbourne, and was in a partnership with Miss Harriet Elizabeth Rowell, better known as Harriet Elphinstone Dick, who was a swimming instructor and ran a gymnasium in Melbourne.
You can find a number of articles about them on TROVE, for example:
DEATH OF MISS Moon.-Yesterday the City Coroner, Mr J O Woore, J P, hold an inquest in the Royal Oak Hotel, Double Bay, touching the death ot Miss Alice C Moon, who died suddenly on Saturday afternoon at the residence of Mr W L Mereweather, Double Bay, where she resided. Miss Moon was seen at about 3 p m on Saturday, when she appeared to be in her usual health. A little while afterwards groans were heard issuing from her room. Immediate attention was given to Miss Moon, and Dr Ellis was sent for, but when the doctor arrived he pronounced life extinct.
Medical evidence was given that the cause of Miss Moon's death was heart disease, and a verdict to that eftect was recorded. Miss Moon was well known in literary circles. It was in connection with this journal that she first appeared as a newspaper contributor in Sydney. Miss Moon was a woman of no little intellectual ability, she was also an accomplished writer, and as the result of diligent study was the possessor of a large store of literary and general information. Miss Moon was esteemed by a large circle of friends, to whom, as to many who knew her less intimately, her untimely death will be a matter for much regret.

I am not related to any of them, my interest is through Caroline Moon being the owner of a property in our town in the 1880s.
