Euphemia Kay Clark was born about 1833 in Scotland.
She emigrated to Australia where she married Johannes Cornoldus Kroon, a confectioner, in 1861 in Victoria.
Soon after their marriage they sailed for Dunedin where they had 8 children, 2 who died in infancy.
Johannes died in 1879 & the following year Euphemia was advertising the confectioner’s shop for sale.
She appears to have carried on the business as, in 1888, she was declared insolvent owing £122 16s 4d.
When Euphemia signed the suffrage petition she was living at Lower York Place.
She died on July 23rd 1894 & she is buried with Johannes in the family grave in the Southern Cemetery.
