"Erected in memory of John Drever who died 10th Oct 1898 aged 82 years also his beloved wife Barbara Groat who died 4th Dec 1896 aged 82 years." John Drever, Hammar and his wife Barbara Groat from Quoy were at Hammar in 1841 but had moved to Windywa by 1851 where they spent the rest of their lives. They had six children. Barbara had been a midwife and there is a story from the early 1890s of her being called, when in advanced years, to make a delivery as the doctor couldn't get to the island. | ||||||
