From The Irwin Index newspaper, Friday 27 July 1956:
"Vale Alec Leishman - A Genial Personality - Death in City Hospital. Following a somewhat lengthy period of abnormal health conditions and a serious illness extending over the past three months, the death occurred in a metropolitan hospital on Friday last of an extremely popular and particularly genial personality in Mr. Alec Gordon Leishman, who had for the past three years been living in retirement with his wife at Dalkeith. The deceased gentleman, who was sixty years of age, was born at Albury (N.S.W.) and completed his education at the Echuca Grammar School, which he left at the age of eighteen years and entered the service of Messrs. Elder, Smith & Co Limited in Adelaide. Shortly afterwards, however, with the outbreak of World War I in 1914 he enlisted for service with the Australian Imperial Forces and went overseas with an artillery unit, returning to Adelaide nearly five years later to resume his pre-war occupation on discharge from further military duties. About six years later he came to Western Australia with his brother (Mr. B. A. Leishman), with whom he took over Koondie Station at Payne's Find and operated in the partnership of A. G. & B. A. Leishman. Three years later this property was sold and the deceased gentleman then moved to the inside country, his first interest therein being Ranfurly Park at Moora in 1929. Thereafter, still operating in partnership with his brother, he obtained other farming and grazing interests in various parts of the State, included in these being wheat and sheep properties at Winchester, Georgina and Northampton. At the time of his death he was a director of A. G. & B. A. Leishman Pty. Ltd., the Georgina Pastoral Company Pty. Ltd., the Gregorfields Pastoral Company Pty. Ltd. and the Muskerry Grazing Company at Northampton, and in addition he also held quite a number of other interests. The late Mr. Leishman was married in 1943 and is survived by a widow and an eleven-year-old daughter. He left Ranfurly Park at Moora about ten years ago to reside with his wife on a property at Georgina. Failing health, however, compelled him to terminate an active life, and just over three years ago he left for the metropolis and has since resided at Dalkeith, but he still retained his business interests in association with his brother. Whilst in this district he was not actively associated with any public organisations but he was a most esteemed member of the Geraldton Club, in which institution he made many firm friends. The funeral of the late Mr. Leishman took place last Monday with a private cremation at Karrakatta."

Portions of a letter written by Mrs Mary LANG on 28 June 1931 at Grianaig Farm, Carnamah to her brother Robert LOCHHEAD:
     "We are all well here, working away trying to make the best of things. I see from the papers Canada is feeling the Depression badly too.  Although Carnamah is a small place there have been quite a few who have had to walk off their farms with nothing, the others are being carried by the Banks. If there is not a decent price for wheat this year it will be dreadful.
     Are your family all in farms?  It runs in my mind the girls married farmers. It seems a shame we know so little about you all. Jenny is a farmer's wife, Minnie's husband is a Commission Agent (his father built them a house on the farm, being an only child they wanted him living near), and he goes to business every day in Carnamah. John junr. and May are still on the farm; May's intended is a farmer, but bad times have put off their marriage. Jean you know all about, and Archie I expect is in Scotland for a six months' holiday (his war wound was giving him some trouble, he had to have an operation performed before Christmas so the trip should set him up).
     While I am writing the rain is battering on the roof and windows, yesterday we had 56 pts, the crops were needing it, and the feed was very backward so this will send it on. We have 400 sheep and over a hundred lambs (the lambing is not finished yet). Two days ago there was ice on the troughs, it was bitterly cold, and we take badly with it, but now the rain has come it is much warmer.
     May milks two cows, so we have plenty butter, and of course we keep fowls for home use. We have b'fast at half past six in the morning. May gets up first and gets started, I get up to make the toast, after that between milking, separating, and washing up the time passes very quickly. We have dinner at half-past six. Luncheon is carried out, by the time all the washing up is done we are ready for bed, but there is no doubt it is a fine healthy life."


From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 23 August 1935:
Golden Wedding - Mr. and Mrs. J. Lang - Celebrate 50th Anniversary
"LANG-LOCHHEAD.- On August 18, 1885, at Linningford, Crosslee, Renfrewshire, Scotland, by the Rev. Alex McLaren, John Lang, Manager, Cartsburn Refinery, Greenock, to Mary, second daughter of Archibald Lochhead. On Sunday last, August 18, Mr. and Mrs. John Lang of Grianaig, Carnamah, celebrated the 50th anniversary of their wedding, when they entertained a number of relatives and friends at afternoon tea. In proposing the toast of Mr. and Mrs. Lang, Mr. John Bowman congratulated the couple on attaining the 50th anniversary of their wedding, and hoped that they would all be assembled together again on the occasion of their diamond wedding. He wished them long life and prosperity. Mr. John Lang, Jnr., made a suitable response on behalf of his parents. Those present included Miss M. Lang, Mr. John Lang, Jnr., Mr. and Mrs. C. Robertson and family, Mr. And Mrs. A. A. McGilp and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Bowman, Mrs. Forrester, Snr., and Mr. J. K. Forrester.

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 20 February 1942:
"We are sorry to report that Mrs. Lang, of Carnamah, suffered from a stroke late last week, and her condition since has been such as to cause her family grave concern."


From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 27 February 1942:
"Obituary - Late Mrs. Mary Lang. On Saturday evening last there passed away at Carnamah an old and highly respected resident in the person of the late Mrs. Mary Lang. The late Mrs. Lang, who was a few days over 79 years of age, was amongst the first pioneers of the Carnamah district. Together with her late husband and family she came to Carnamah from Scotland, in the early part of the present century, when the Midland Railway Company embarked on a scheme of settlement along their railway. In those days there was very little in the way of a settlement at Carnamah, and stores, etc., were obtained from Perth, while meat had to be brought from Moora. The trials and tribulations suffered by those early pioneers, who are fast disappearing, would bear recounting here, but they made light of their hardships. According to the old settlers, however, they were good days - those halycon days of yesteryears, when dances were held in the railway goods shed and everyone met on a common footing. In those days the Lang family were always to the fore in the social life of the district, and Mrs. Lang has been described as one of Carnamah's grand old ladies. In the days before the motor Car the Lang homestead, at Prowaka, was one of the common stopping places for travellers to and from Three Springs, and many a traveller has been loud in his praise of the hospitality metered out to him by the deceased lady. The late Mrs. Lang is survived by a family of three daughters - Mrs. McGilp (Waddy Forest), Mrs. Sharpe (Scotland), Mrs. Robertson (Carnamah) and two sons, Archie (New York, America) and John (Carnamah). The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon in the Protestant portion of the Winchester cemetery, the Rev. C. A. Walsh officiating at the graveside. The chief mourners were Mrs. A. A. McGilp (daughter), Messrs J. Lang (son) and A. A. McGilp and C. Robertson (sons-in-law). The pall-bearers were Messrs. J. Bowman, A. A. McGilp, J. Lang, W. Newman, J. K. Forrester,  and C. W. Turner."

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 9 January 1930:
Country Towns and Districts - Carnamah's Advancement
"The winner this season of the No. 1 zone 50-acre crop competition was Mr. F. Lucas, a soldier settler on the Inering Estate, who scored 72 out of the available 100 points. Mr. Lucas cropped 400 acres of wheat this season, 210 acres of which were on fallow and the balance on new land. Despite the diminished rainfall his average was 18 bushels, while the champion 50 acres of Nabawa yielded approximately 10 bags an acre. Mr. Lucas took up his block seven years ago and owns 1,052 acres, of which 950 acres are cleared. It is all good country, but 600 acres are outstanding. On one trefoil paddock of 400 acres he has carried 500 Koonoona blood sheep for 12 months. Mr. Lucas has eight Koonoona rams and intends to build up a small flock. At the Carnamah show last year he won the first prize for three merino ewe lambs. Mr. Lucas, who was an artificer in France during the war, is developing his property on sound lines, and takes a live interest in the district's progress."

Obituary on Frank Charles Gilson LUCAS, written by his son John:
"Sometimes known as Frank. "Fraaank" (by the bird, old cockie, whom he had a love hate relationship for over 50 years. The bird loved him, !!!). Also known as Dad, Grandad, Grumps or by many as just plain old "FCG." Frank was the first son of Frank and Florence Lucas. Frank senior enlisted and served in England as an Artificer in the Australian Artillery til the end of the First World War and did not see his son til he returned. Frank was the eldest of five children, being Roy, Stan, Olive and Les. The family always had great respect for each other and to the end; I can't recall Dad uttering a bad word or personally critical comment about his siblings. In reflection, I think this had a lot to do with his parents influence. After the war, the Lucas family took up a settlement farm east of Carnamah known as Floradale, part of the original Inering Estate. The farm was developed over the pursuing years as the family grew and cultured a community with many other war service settlers of the time. Frank's education, along with other family members, consisted of attending the local Inering School, of which he related many stories, also educated in the 'school of hard knocks' or learning by experience that many of his time endured. Life on the farm during the 20's and 30's was tough compared to today's standards, but was accepted as the norm. When the depression hit in the mid 30's, the family turned to shop keeping on the goldfields at Rothsay to support the farm. This business was mainly run by Frank senior and Roy but was very much part of the Lucas family history. The outbreak of the Second World War saw Frank, along with Stan, sign up with the RAAF. He was moved to Darwin as an Aircraft fitter where he gained many skills in basic mechanical engineering of which he excelled and put to good use later in his life in farming. Many experiences endured whilst in Darwin were later relayed to anyone willing to listen. I think Frank really enjoyed this time and adventure in his life. Just prior to the bombing of Darwin, he transferred to Melbourne and took up a position as an Instructor in Aircraft maintenance. This move proved to be a turning point in his life, as he then met a young lady by the name of Clarice Coningsby, whom he courted and convinced her to marry him. Well we all know what happened after this. Married in Melbourne, Frank and Clarice lived there for a short while til Ann was born then came back to the farm at Floradale. They applied for and were granted a war service block east of Wagin. This was home for a while til the early 50's when they returned to Carnamah. During this period, John and Margaret arrived to complete the family. The Lucas Family partnership purchased the neighbouring farm of Inering. The original Inering Homestead block became the family farm for the Frank & Clarice Lucas farming partnership over the next three decades. Frank had a great thirst for improving farming in his patch, and his involvement in farm improvement groups and the like, were indicative of his approach to achieving his goals. Cereal production and wool were his main focus, though he did try cattle for a while, but cows really tested his patience, as well as farm fences. His mechanical nous came to the fore during his farming days. The mid 60's saw Frank and Clarice expand west with the addition of a Conditional Purchase block. This addition tested resources but presented many different challenges - eagerly accepted and worked through. Inering for us was the hub of our life, and an intricate part of the farming community in the area. Many lifelong friendships were forged with our neighbours over the years and will be cherished always. Frank was proud to be a neighbour and friend to all. Our family had many memorable incidents, achievements and involvements with all sorts of characters in the time spent at Inering. Wool production, approximately 2500 bales sent to wool stores under the "F&C Inering" brand was something he was very proud of. Some employees had a lasting attachment to his list of close friends. These included "Old Mac" (Stanley McNeil) a retired farmhand that got lost on the way to the goldfields looking for work, as he could not get accustomed to the confines of Perth. He dropped in for directions and left many years later. Old Mac was an excellent stockman who was admired by all that new him. Others such as Jack Roberts, John Herold and their families. And who could forget Wally Rowland, who was Dad's right hand man for many years. In the mid 50's Frank became involved in many community activities, which eventually saw him become a member of the local Road Board. This was the beginning of a very long association with Local Government seeing him a councillor for 32 years, 23 as President. Frank saw himself as a Statesman of Local Government and promoted the community and its interests at every opportunity. The development of the Shire, including the towns of Carnamah and Eneabba, plus many local government political issues, work on equitable wheat quotas and so much more, were a part of his life. The presentation of "Freeman of the Town of Carnamah" was a great honour accepted by him, which he regarded as one of his greatest moments in life. Other organisations frank became involved with were the Masonic Lodge; Civil Defence, later known as SES; Local Fire Brigade and Agricultural Society. This period of time also involved Clarice participating in many community activities and he was extremely proud of her achievements. Frank's early sporting prowess in Tennis and Golf was very questionable, but no one could doubt his endeavour and participation. Some days on the golf course really tested his patience as well as everyone else's endurance, especially when the golf clubs, bag and buggy went further than the ball. He did however find his niche in Lawn Bowls, as he was a founding member of the Carnamah Bowling Club. His success in Bowls was evident in the many trophies and events won, including winning the Singles. Undoubtedly, his greatest achievement in Bowls was when he teamed with his brothers, Roy, Stan and Les to dominate the local Massey Ferguson Fours at a local level for a few years and compete at a State level. Many enduring friendships were forged on bowling greens over the years. Frank's life of 88 years placed him in a unique generation that saw many changes; the like of those before and we following will never endure. But I do hope, that we will understand what his generation contributed, achieved and suffered so that we can appreciate the world that we know today. He started life in the days of horsepower, i.e., horses in the field for work, as well as transport. He related many stories of his days with horses. He saw the transformation of farming through development of tractors, albeit primitive by today's standard, headers from horse drawn, and tractor drawn to large SP's. If it was not orange (Chamberlain), it did not rate. Owned five over the years. He saw farming develop from the mull board plough, stump jump plough through to modern air seeders. He was often amazed but not surprised of late when I would explain things such as GPS navigation and tramline farming. He saw the evolution of primitive fertilisers in bags, wheat bagged off headers through to bulk handling and more specific fertilisers. There were Tilley lamps, then electricity in the form of 32 volt, which made life on the farm tolerable, and the advent of 240 volt was stuff dreams were made of. The old days of everyone sitting around a crackling valve radio through to colour TV with remote was something he lived through. Memories of holidays in the early days for us was trips to Australind, old cabins, catching crabs, the horse drawn ice wagon, playing with friends, and the long suffering of Dad in the cramped confines of a motor car, with three kids on the way there and back. We did go east to Melbourne on two occasions, which gave him more time in a car with us excited kids. Mum was a good peacekeeper. In later years, a caravan was bought and he and Mum set off on several adventures around the block and over east. One holiday that he went on readily comes to mind, and this was when Mum convinced him to go on a bus trip through central Australia, to Darwin and back, organised by a church group (she obviously got to him in a moment of weakness). Dad did have respect for all those with faith, but when it came to bible reading etc under the stars at the end of a day, he and the bus driver found solace with a beer around the back of the bus. Towards the end of the trip, the numbers meeting around the back of the bus grew substantially from the starting two. He was adamant that we kids got an education, so we were all packed off to boarding school when the time came. This had a vast influence on us in gaining different life skills, not too sure about the education, and I'm sure he had his doubts as well. When he retired from farming he moved into Carnamah and continued his involvement in community affairs until making the move to Geraldton in 1989. Whilst living in Carnamah, the family home was a great haven to his grandchildren. This is where he got the name of Grumps, but he did enjoy their company, shared many stories watched them grow, mature and develop with pride. This continued right through to the end. Life in Geraldton for him revolved around the Wonthella Bowling Club where he became Coach and spent many days at working bees as well as many more actually playing bowls. A stroke eight years ago was a cruel blow and severely restricted him and was a blight on his quality of life. He was very appreciative of the loving care Mum gave him and his one wish was that his health did not deteriorate further, to become a greater burden on his lifelong companion, wife, and true friend. His passing last Tuesday morning bought to an end, a life that had a significant influence on many of us, as well as more than a passing influence on many of his friends, colleagues and most of us here today, and Dad we sincerely thankyou for this. So to Frank, Dad, Grandad, Grumps, or plain old FCG, your journey of life on this earth has come to an end, but you will live on forever in our many memories. Thankyou." Presented by John Lucas, 18/07/2005.

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 5 February 1943:
"For King and Country - Late Pte. Harry Lucas. Those local people who remember Charles Henry (Harry) Lucas have learned with regret that he paid the supreme sacrifice during the fighting in New Guinea. A son of Mrs. L. Lucas and Mr. W. Lucas, he was born at Toodyay. At one period he worked for a time in Carnamah where his elder brother, Harold, was better known. At the outbreak of the war he was at Kalgoorlie and, enlisting early, was twice wounded in the Middle East and on returning and going to New Guinea he fell in action. In the flush of victories won, we at home are apt to forget the sacrifices that must be made to make them possible. The realisation that for such boys whom we knew all is ended, is a sobering thought."
