"It would be idle to disguise the fact that the 1914 drought and the 1915
dry blight… have hit me very badly. At the same time I consider it not more than
fair to my interest to mention that the acreage ready for cultivation compares
very favourable with any of my neighbours. I have now in crop 620 acres,
fallowed 120 acres, half cleared 80 acres, a total of 820 acres of which I
intend seeding 700 acres in 1916 and fallowing 120 acres for 1917 crop. Besides
the latter, I intend, weather permitting to plow in & fallow another 500 acres
scrubland. Therefore with all my acreage & given a couple of normal seasons
there can be no doubt of my ability to put my finances not only straight, but
also safe. The land has shown what it can do & it is that, which in spite of the
bitterness created by the last disappointment, still fires me this conviction &
the courage & determination to succeed... Expected Return Season 1915: 150 tons
chaff, 300 bags oats @ 7/-, 30 bags barley @ 8/- and 500 bags wheat (1500
bushels) @ 4/-. Total £717. Estimated expenditure of putting in and taking off
crop 1916: Living expenses (stores etc) £200, Wages £250, Super for 700 acres (incl
freight) £150, Tractor oil [petrol] £90, Machinery instalments £130, spare parts
£50, Clearing 80 acres @ 23/6 £100, Contingencies £72."

Hans Haussler of Winchester - A Story That Ought To Be Read
"So far we have read nothing about the life of Hans Haussler, which closed
recently at Winchester, after long years of battle with adverse circumstances.
Hans Haussler won for himself a large place in the affections of those who came
to know him during his eighteen years residence in the Midlands. From his
boyhood he had he had lived under the British flag, and spent a considerable
portion of his life in India and Burma managing different commercial concerns
for British companies. His prolonged residence in the tropics did not agree with
his wife's health. One evening as he was walking through the city of London his
attention was attracted by a brilliantly lighted advertisement of the Midland
Railway Company's Ready Made Farm Scheme in Western Australia. After going into
the matter with his wife and the officials in London, he decided to come to
Western Australia with his wife and young daughter. Arriving at Winchester he
threw himself into his new work with all the energy and zeal he was capable of.
In this respect he was ably assisted by his wife, a woman of great personal
charm. She not only attended to the domestic part of the farm life but she
helped during the busy periods with the field activities. They were joyous days.
The land was to them a new found love. Mrs. Haussler was one who never knew the
necessity of performing menial tasks. She had had no training in domestic
affairs and her life in India and Burma where labour and domestic help was so
easily procured had not helped in the preparation for her life in West
Australia. Her part in the rough pioneering work is an epic of the ???? which
finds its parallel in those hardy settlers who arrived here at the dawn of West
Australia's history. This beautiful and gifted lady was an ideal host who was
ever ready with her cheery word and hearty welcome, and attendance upon the
smallest wish of her guests. "Gregorfields" became known throughout the State as
a home whose glory was hospitality. Her life was devoted to the service of
mankind. To her the weary came and were refreshed. The sick and the sad and the
needy knew her for the best thing God had made. Her sympathy embraced all things
that had life. Bird and beast and flower found in her a friend. She was one with
nature. Her friendships grew and deepened. The lowly and the great came to the
home of Hans Haussler and his wonderful wife. Such is the effect of true
refinement. There was no searching for guests, and no striving after effect. The
friends who came to know the Haussler's valued them for their innate refinement.
There was no tinsol about them. There was no display. There was no showing off.
They were gentle folk, and others who were judges of the real from the false
took their measure quickly. They were joyous days. We are tempted to repeat it.
And like every other record the narrative is suddenly pulled up with this
sentence:-"Then came the War." And they were Germans. Though Hans Haussler had
lived most of his life in British countries, it was Germany that gave him his
birth and infant nurture. His true friends never wavered. They were sure of the
Haussler's. But the old joy departed from "Gregorfields." A cloud had descended
upon them. And they never embarrassed their friends. Yet it was so difficult to
carry on. The capital needed for their work was swept away. The source from
which it flowed disappeared, for his capital was confiscated by the Fatherland.
Labour was hard to get in any case in 1915 when every able bodied man was being
called upon to defend the Empire. Apart from this there was so little money to
spare. Yet these two people suffered in silence. But Hans Haussler and his wife
laboured on. It was a fight for existence. They were no weaklings. Man and wife
looked after the stock and put the crop in. And the crop promised well. Then in
48 hours they saw 400 acres of record crop utterly destroyed by rust and
septoria. Nevertheless, the motto of the Haussler's was "Onward, ever Onward."
They still went on making plans for the future development of their home. They
and the soil were one. Some day the cloud would lift. And the man worth while
showed that he could smile when everything went dead wrong. A young engineer who
had been employed on the farm for a little while revealed that he had a little
capital and more brains. He entered into a partnership with Hans Haussler. It
was then known as Haussler and Zuegg. That helped things. Then came the
unkindest cut of all. Mrs. Haussler died. Hitherto she had shared every interest
in the farm's activities. Still he carried on. His partner, Mr. Zuegg married
Miss Haussler. Then Hans Haussler began to know failing health. The financial
slump of the recent year added considerably to his worry, and on Sunday July 1st
he passed away to his rest in his sleep. It was nature's anodyne to a life of
struggle. All his old friends met to pay tribute to one who was of enemy birth,
but of whom they felt sure that there was no one who loved Western Australia
more than he."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 1 June
1945:
"Obituary - Late Mr. E. Hellewell. It was with a feeling of profound regret
that residents of the Carnamah districts learned on Wednesday that Mr. E.
Hellewell had passed away in Perth. The deceased gentleman was, until a few
years ago, a resident of the Carnamah District, and during his sojourn among us
he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. "Pop," as he was
affectionately termed by all and sundry, was a familiar figure at any district
gathering, and in a quiet unobtrusive way, he was always willing to do his bit
to help along any district activity. Some two years or so ago, failing health
brought about his retirement from active employment, and since then he had
resided in the Victoria Park district. Every sympathy is felt for his widow and
family of two sons and two daughters."
