**1934 TRAGIC MURDER OF MOTHER AND FOUR CHILDREN SOUTH AUSTRALIA**MYLOR**ECHUNGA CEMETERY**
Dora was aged 28.
She and her four children were tragically murdered as they lay in their beds by William Figg, Dora's husband and the children's father.
William shot himself and his body was not found until 10 months later despite extensive searching.
Dora and the children are buried in the Echunga Cemetery with her parents, no mention of Dora's married name is made on the headstone.
William was quietly buried in the Stirling Cemetery (See George Cullen murder video), but I could not find his site...Can you?
The house went on to be lived in but burnt down in the 1980 Ash Wednesday bushfires.
The photo with the moss is from today.
