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. Mr. and Mrs. Lang were the recipients of a number of congratulatory telegrams and cablegrams. Their golden wedding is incidentally the first to be celebrated in the Carnamah district."


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."

On 16 June 1915 signed a contract to purchase from the Midland Railway Co a 814 acre farm in Carnamah, Western Australia ^[34]
The 814 acres were Lots M932 and M937 and were part of the Midland Railway Company's Improved Farm Scheme ^[34]

Before coming out to Western Australia to take possession of his farm he enlisted in the Army in later 1915 ^[34]
After he joined the Army the Midland Railway Company kept his farm going until he would be able to run it himself ^[34]
