They were the wife and children of Mr. D. Zimmerman, a share-milker, working with Mr. Charles Muggeridge.

The two children were discovered floating in shallow water about a chain from the house and there were signs that they had struggled for life; Mrs. Zimmerman’s body was fouhd lower down the Creek in a da pi used for storing water to drive the milking plant.
