He died in Kew, 1923 at the age of 46.
The Waugh family moved around Victoria as William taught in a number of schools. In 1915 the family moved from Boolite to Elphinstone. They were the first family to live in the new school residence. In 1918 they moved to Garfield in Gippsland.
In 1933 they moved to Castlemaine after William was transferred to Chewton. Maude was active in the Country Women's' Association, the church, and with school activities.
