(d.1926)	Gungahlin Pioneer

Kate Marion Mort met her future husband, Edward Kendal Crace, while shipwrecked enroute to Australia.  They married in 1871.  

The couple settled in the Gungahlin District purchasing both the Gungahlin and Ginninderra properties from William Davis in 1877.  They also acquired Charnwood.  Their land was said to be the largest holding in what is now known as the Gungahlin District.  

After her husband died in 1892, in a tragic drowning accident, Mrs Crace continued to conduct the property until about 1916 with the assistance of her son Everard Gregory Crace.  

The property was acquired by the Commonwealth in 1916.  

Mrs Crace was survived by nine children.
