the school of Sibella Ross in 1872

... that when George Ross went bankrupt in 1867, his wife Sibella Ross started a school (school building pictured) to sustain their large family? Source: The winter of 1867 was disastrous for backcountry runholders, with heavy snow falls and large stock losses, and Harper and Ross suffered badly with the result that Ross was declared bankrupt.
- Reviewed: Harry Kent; Louise Potiki Bryant
- Comment: Pretty unusual for 1860s New Zealand for a woman to set up her own business. MurielMary wrote the bio for Sibella Ross and stated that her husband is also notable, and I looked after that article.
