The South Australian Register newspaper noted her death on Friday 29 June 1866 as follows: On the 18th June, at Strathalbyn, Esther Fanny, relict of the late Mr Charles Maidment, aged 66 years. The Maidment-Rogers Family Bible confirms Esther's date of death and age. According to the Police Station Records held at Mt. Barker for Strathalbyn, she was buried on 20 June 1866 in the Maidment plot at Strathalbyn. I understand there is no headstone.
