Sophie McLachlan's grave
Kaulbach Street. In 1879, a 14 year old girl named Sophie McLachlan was accused of stealing from her employer. This was a significant amount of money at the time. Everyone, including Sophie's own mother believed her accuser. Sophie suffered from increasingly debilitating bouts of anxiety.
