3550 unknown Hotel Managers (possibly)

Sarah Matilda Susanah Creighton (the adopted daughter of James Stuart). Catherine Barry (Kate Barry was the oldest daughter of Jackson Barry, a good friend on James Stuart)

3551 unknown General notes.

After the death of his wife, Adelia, Jackson Barry had fallen on hard times. James Stuart had helped out with money. Jackson Bary had two daughters, and James Stuart looked after Catherine. So although Susan and Kate were not biological sisters, they lived together as sisters. The rock formation on the top of the Nevis Range with its twin tors close to the road was an ideal place for a 'Halfway House' hotel. It may have been run by the two Stuart 'sisters' No detailed information on this branch hotel has come to date apart from a brief mention in the 'Heart of the Desert' manuscript J C Parcell.
