Grace Bussell

Grace Vernon Drake-Brockman (née Bussell; 1860 – 7 October 1935), commonly referred to as Grace Bussell, was a woman from Western Australia. In 1876, as a 16-year-old, she was involved in the rescue of the SS Georgette, for which she was awarded the Royal Humane Society's Silver Medal. She later married Frederick Drake-Brockman, who served as Surveyor General from 1915 to 1917, with whom she had seven children, including Edmund Drake-Brockman and Deborah Vernon Hackett. The towns of Gracetown and Lake Grace, both in Western Australia, were named after her by her husband.
