Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Katherine Ledwell lived at Montana in Meander with her parents. She was to join her parents later when they went to visit friends but she was found shot through the head. 19 year old Joe Belbin was convicted of her murder and he was executed on the 11th March 1914.

Dedication
In loving memory of Katherine Margaret Ledwell
Beloved daughter of A. B. & E. Ledwell
Born 9. July 1897.
Died 26. October 1913.
Blessed are the pure in heart.
Erected by the public of Tasmania in affectionate remembrance of a noble girl
Just as I am -- without one plea.
But that thy blood was shed for me.
And that thou bidst me come to Thee.
O land of God I come.
