Trugernanner, the last aboriginal Tasmanian, dies in 1876.

According to a report in The Times she had married a Tasmanian known as "King Billy", who had died in March 1871.

By 1873, Trugernanner was the sole survivor of the Oyster Cove group, and was again moved to Hobart.

She died three years later, having requested that her ashes be scattered in the D'Entrecasteaux Channel; she is, however, buried at the former Female Factory at Cascades, a suburb of Hobart.

Within two years, her skeleton is exhumed by the Royal Society of Tasmania and later placed on display.

Only in April 1976, approaching the centenary of her death, will Trugernanner's remains be finally cremated and scattered according to her wishes.
