From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 21 May 1927:
"Business Change in Carnamah - Arrival of Mrs. E. Cowderoy - A recent arrival in Carnamah is Mrs. E. Cowderoy, who has taken over the proprietorship of Wylie's store from Mr. Wylie who is shortly to open a General Motors Showroom. The store passed into the hands of Mrs. Cowderoy on Monday last and, although she intends to run all the old lines, Mrs. Cowderoy is going to pay particular attention to drapery, millinery and boots and shoes. Mrs. Cowderoy is herself a milliner, and will be prepared to accept orders for hats made to measure. The present quarters in Wylie's old store are only temporary, and in a very short time new premises will be erected on the corner block right opposite the Carnamah railway station. Next week Mrs. Cowderoy will receive a special consignment of new season's goods, which will be the latest of Perth fashions in millinery, drapery and footwear. Something of the sort has been a long felt want in Carnamah, and we have no hesitation in saying that once the people round about have sampled the quality stocked by Mrs. Cowderoy they will deeply appreciate the ability and courtesy of a most capable connoisseur."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 20 September 1938:
"Tragic Accident - On Thursday of last week a tragic accident occurred at Moora when Lewis Fairclough, a young man, accidentally shot himself with fatal results. It appears that on Thursday afternoon the unfortunate young man intimated his intention of going shooting and when he did not return home that evening his mother was not unduly worried as it was thought that he was probably spending the evening with his grandmother. However, when he did not return on Friday morning a search party was organised and his remains were discovered that afternoon. An inquest was held and a verdict of accidental death returned. A widow, mother and one younger brother are left to mourn their loss. The late Mr. Fairclough was in his early twenties and was particularly popular with the young people of the Moora district, being an outstanding athlete. He was a nephew of Mrs. Sheridan, of Carnamah."

     In about 1908 himself and his brothers took up land "East of Carnamah" which would later become Perenjori ^{[44] [152]}
     Himself and his brothers Thomas J. FARRELL and William J. FARRELL were the first people to take up land in Perenjori ^[152]
Sharefarmer with his brothers as "Farrell Bros" in Mingenew 1908-1914 ^{[9: 22-Jan-1909] [50] [81: 1-Feb-1914] [152]}
     They share-farmed part of George J. GOOCH's 23,000 acre Bacton Station in Mingenew ^{[9: 22-Jan-1909] [81: 1-Feb-1914] [152]}
     In 1908 he grew 700 acres of wheat and 300 acres of oats on Bacton Station ^{[9: 22-Jan-1909]}
     600 acres of the wheat seeded early averaged four to five bags per acre, while the other 100 acres yielded only one bag per acre ^[9]
     The 700 acres of wheat crop in 1908 consisted of Bruta Wonder, Alpha and Lots Early varieties of wheat ^[9]

     If he received a satisfactory price for his exported wheat he planned to export further consignments ^{[9: 22-Jan-1909]}
     A photograph of Calcutta oats they grew in Mingenew was featured in The Western Mail newspaper on 11 December 1909 ^[120]
     Their average wheat yield from five years on Bacton Station in Mingenew was 15 bushels per acre ^[152]
     A fire went through Bacton C.1912 and he lost about £1,500 worth of stuff, as did his brothers and George J. GOOCH ^{[39: 9-Dec-1915]}

Gave evidence to the Royal Commission on the Agricultural Industries of Western Australia in Perenjori on 25 November 1916 ^[152]
     He believed that in Perenjori every farmer needed at least 2,000 acres and ought to crop 500 to 600 acres each year ^[152]
     "If I had my time over again I would not take up land... It costs too much... in improvements... before a man gets anything" ^[152]
     He disliked using bags to transport wheat and thought that bulk handling would not only be easier but would reduce costs ^[152]
     Like others he believed farming implements should be imported free of duty as they were too expensive ^[152]

     His team of horses managed to seed an average of 37 acres per ten hours of work ^[39]
     The same quick-working team of horses had stripped an average of 19 acres a day over the preceding harvest ^[39]

From the Progress Report of the Royal Commission on the
               Agricultural Industries of Western Australia on the Wheat-Growing Portion of the South-West Division of the State:
Saturday 25 November 1916 at Perenjori
"MATTHEW JAMES FARRELL, Farmer, Perenjori, sworn and examined:
     I came here eight years ago looking for land and took this up. We (Farrell Bros.) were the first to take land up here and we wanted it for a horse run as we were contracting on the Midland line. With the exception of three years on the Eastern Goldfields I have been farming all my life, the last time at Bendigo. I took up 1,600 acres here, of which 140 acres was sandplain. The price is 10s. an acre and the land is five miles from the railway west. I have here 400 acres and fenced 800 in one block. I have put down several bores without success. One of them was 1,500 yards, which I excavated myself, and it cost me about 9d. a yard. I am a married man with three children too young to go to school. We are well stocked with implements and have three 7ft. harvesters, two 12-disc ploughs and cultivators, and we have 32 draught horses. I have built a house on my brother's land, where the water is. There is no stable for the horses, but I have a shed for the wheat and a bough shed for machinery. We shifted from Mingenew down here 18 months ago.
     I have 180 acres of crop and 50 acres were fallow, which looked better than the rest, but the storm bashed it down; nevertheless, I think fallow would give better results. The highest yield in any one year was last year, when I got 20 bushels over 135 acres. I have Federation in this year, but only expect 12 bushels an acre off 120 acres. I use a bushel of seed and 30lbs. of super to the acre, but last year I could not get any. It takes about three bags to pay the expenses of putting in and taking off a crop. I use a 12-disc plough with eight and 10 horses, and do about 10 acres a day. There is an 8ft. 6in. cultivator, which does 15 to 19 acres a day, a 17-drill, which does 22 acres, and a 7ft. harvester, which does about 10 acres a day. Bags are a terrible item to the farmer and bulk handling would reduce costs, in this direction particularly. All the farmers' implements should come in free of duty, as the expense of the machinery itself is already too great. For instance, I paid £130 last year for a harvester.
     There was so much rain last season that we had blight. I pickle but do not grade my wheat, nor have I tried to grow fodder crops, but vegetables grow well here. I paid £2 10s. a week wages and keep this year and men generally work about nine hours daily. Every man wants in this district at least 2,000 acres and ought to crop 500. Six hundred acres would be a maximum he should be expected to plough. If I had my time over again I would not take up land under the present conditions. It costs too much before a man gets anything off it in clearing, fencing and other improvements.
     It is the best of grazing country round here and in the running country the grass is at the present time as high as the table. It has been rung for five or six years and there is plenty of salt bush on it. I intend to go in for sheep and I think I will have another try with bores as soon as the crop is off. Most of the people in this district have been lucky in striking water. I have had no experience of dairying here.
     My country is salmon and gimlet with a bit of York gum. If you let a fire go through it, suckers become a trouble but if you ring-bark it you have no trouble with suckers. The most profitable method is to ring-bark first and then the salmon gum will burn right out to the roots. It costs 22s. 6d. to clear. I and my brothers were share farming at Mingenew for five years for Mr. G. J. Gooch. My average in wheat while share farming there was about 15 bushels throughout.
     What difference do you think there would be between the average there and here? I do not think any difference. In fact, I think this country is ahead of that. My brother had crops there but mine here stripped better than his. The difference in the rainfall is about one inch. I think farming would be a success here if combined with stock. At the present time there is a vast body of feed going to waste here for want of feeding it off."

Suicide and Cremation - Charred Remains of Farmer - Found in Smouldering Ashes
"Charred remains, believed to be those of R. J. Fennell, farmer of Perenjori, were extracted from a smouldering heap of ashes in a paddock, one mile from his homestead, by Constables Anderson and Bayliss on Thursday morning, July 30. The barrel of a 22 gauge rifle was found near the ashes. On Tuesday, July 28, Mr. White, Manager, Agricultural Bank, Perenjori, received word from Fennell, that someone should be sent out to his farm to look after the stock and machinery. On investigations Fennell could not be found and a search party was attended with unsuccessful results on Wednesday. On July 30 Constables Anderson and Bayliss picked up Fennell's tracks at his letter box on the Rothsay Road, following these to the middle of the paddock they were confronted with a smouldering heap of ashes and stumps. From these were extracted charred human bones, believed to be the remains of Fennell. On Saturday, July 25, at the Perenjori Police Court, R. J. Fennell pleaded guilty to a charge of having threatened E. R. Anderson, farmer of Perenjori. Fennell was bound over to be of good behaviour for six months on a personal bond of £50. An inquest was held at Perenjori on Monday last by Mr R. F. Fullerton, J.P., Acting Coroner, on the death of Raymond Joseph Fennell. After hearing evidence a verdict was returned that death was caused by a gunshot wound and burning, self-inflicted, and that there was no direct evidence to show the state of deceased's mind at the time of death. Fennell's remains were interred in the Perenjori cemetery on August 3."
