 When Johnstone died in 1901, he was reputedly buried on the site and management of the property passed to his 3 sons.The following year, when a further adjoining the original Muralambeen portion was selected, Frances was apparently residing once more at Muralambeen, which became known "at all times [as] a happy social centre" for the Allingham family.Around 1908, Frances appointed her nephew, James Allingham, as manager of the property and conveyance documents show that on 11 October 1911 title to the property was belatedly registered in the name of Frances Allingham.
