Biography

Mrs Albertani left an estate valued at £891 4s. 11d to her husband, Gotardo. She is buried in the Roman Catholic portion of the Leonora Cemetery, plot number 138.

In May 1919, an Italian miner called Luigi Morelli, contracted broncho pneumonia influenza and died within six days. Eight more cases were diagnosed in rapid succession. The Public Health Board placed Gwalia and Leonora under quarantine. The town was isolated from its nearest town, Malcolm, and all occupants, including visitors, were confined, with passenger traffic by road and rail blocked. A fine was instituted from £5 – £30 for people going beyond the 3 mile limit. Mrs Albertani was one of those who died in this epidemic.
