He was always a public spirited man being a foundation member of the Chittering, Carnamah and Three Springs roads boards & was a member for a short time of the Mingenew roads board thereby taking a keen interest in the progress and development of the Midlands. A Justice of the Peace for 30 years he had the pleasure of being chairman to the late Sir John Forrest at his occasional meetings in the Wannamal district when the Midland Railway was first opened. His passing will be felt deeply by his relatives and friends who can surely find consolation in the fact that he has contributed so much to the welfare of the district in which he lived. At his request his remains were taken back to Moora and buried with his wife who pre-deceased him in 1932." at Western Australia.3 |
