The pillow cases in question were donated by the Fremantle Oral History Group, very possibly via a local resident, and were labeled according to the information at the time, which was that they were original and showed Azelia Manning's initials. The early settlers to this area were very much of European as well as English origin, Azelia was in fact of Peruvian descent on her grandmothers side, so it was plausible that they could have been hers in keeping with the style of the articles. We do endeavor to be accurate, but hearsay will always impact on the truth, and sometimes is the truth! History is only as good as the people telling it, and is a living thing that can always be enriched.
