This is the last stop of our journey together. I hope you enjoyed your visit. This is my tomb stone in Camperdown Cemetery, Sydney, Australia. I died on January 6, 1856 at the Royal Hotel. My death left my wife heartbroken but she made me an elaborated tomb. At my burial, a choir sang an arrangement I composed three days before my death. Also an orchestral piece was played during the cemetery. Over the years, somebody decided to deface my grave which I think is very rude and disrespectful. Well au revior my friend.

This a photo of my lovely wife, Anna Bishop. She was the wife of a guy named Henry Bishop until I eloped with her. We toured every where except France of course. I knew marrying her could get me into a lot of trouble but I didn't care. She was the last person I was with before I passed away. She'll always be the love of my life.

This is where I had my last performance before I died. On December 22, 1855 I performed at the Royal Theater in Sydney, Australia. I conducted the orchestra and provided piano accompaniments for my wife. I had promised a harp performance but I was just too ill to perform it. At least I played with my wife for the last time.

The picture shown above is the Royal Academy of Music located in London, England. In 1822, I became a professor and secretary here. But this ended five years later because of my character. People those days couldn't take a little joke. sucks for them. Anyways, The Royal Academy of Music was founded by John Fane in 1822. The academy is still standing today and harp is still a large part of it.
