McPherson, formerly manager of Tibradden Station. Mr. McPherson's father is the owner of Carnamah Station. The deceased caught a chill after putting out a fire at Greenough flats."


From The Geraldton Express newspaper, Monday 27 April 1896:
"Mr. William Macpherson, of Mr. Duncan Macpherson, of Carnamah, died in the Geraldton Hospital, on Wednesday afternoon last, of inflammation of the lungs, contracted through a severe cold. Mr Macpherson, it appears, a few weeks ago, assisted in putting out a bush fire. He over exerted himself and his body got into a heat. Subsequently he caught a chill which bought on the affection, which, ultimately caused his death. He had only been in the Hospital a few days when the end came. Dr. Elliott did all in his power for he patient, and besides the services of the hospital staff, the skill of an experienced private nurse was called to his aid. All, however, proved to no avail, as the sad sequel has proved. Mr. Macpherson gradually grew worse and, on the day already mentioned, peacefully passed away. A popular young man, a genuine sportsman, and one, too, held in respect by all classes, his untimely demise will be deeply and widely deplored. Mr. Macpherson had, from time to time, occupied with credit to himself, various positions of trust in connection with the management of sheep stations. He had also fulfilled, for some months, to the satisfaction of the public, the duties of an Inspector of Stock. During the last few years he had been prominently - and we wish to add, honourably - associated with the Turf of the colony. Winning and maintaining a reputation for running his horses "straight," the many and splendid victories of his well-known horse "Sunbeam," were always received with pleasure by that portion of the public by whom honesty is always admired. Mr. Macpherson's death, up to the day before it occurred, was unexpected, so unexpected, indeed, that his relatives, that his relatives at Carnamah could not be informed of his serious condition until it was too late to permit of their being present at his bedside previous to dissolution. Mr. Alexander Macpherson, however, was with him in his dying moments. His father, Mr. Duncan Macpherson, and brother, Mr. Donald Macpherson, reached Geraldton by train about six hours after his death. The remains of the deceased are to be buried at Newcastle, where all the departed members of the family - including his mother - are interred. With this object in view, the body, enclosed in a leaden coffin, was conveyed last night by train to Perth en route to the township named. The relatives of Mr. Macpherson, we need hardly say, have widespread sympathy in the bereavement they have sustained."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 19 February 1937:
"Obituary - The Late Mr. Albert Marriott - The death occurred last week when Mr Albert Marriott, of Winchester, son of Mrs Edith and the late Mr Marriott, of Dyson Street, South Perth, passed away suddenly on Friday 13 at Arvo Hospital, Subiaco. News of his demise came as a shock to the residents of the district, as although many realised his condition was delicate, his indomitable spirit belied the fact that it was following only a very short illness that he passed away. The late Mr Marriott, who has been in the employ of Messrs A. G. and B. A. Leishman for the past ten years, came to Winchester 4½ years ago when he took over the management of "Gregorfields," Messrs Leishman's property. During his sojourn in the district Mr Marriott took an active interest in social life and sporting activities. He was an active and valued member of the Coorow Football Club, and in addition to being a member he was also Vice-Captain of the Winchester Tennis Club. The deceased was also a prominent figure in local show rings where his horsemanship always met with a fair measure of success. The late Mr. Marriott was of a quiet, unassuming manner and he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact, and his relatives and many friends mourn his demise. The remains were interred in the Roman Catholic portion of Karrakatta Cemetery at 10 o'clock on Monday morning."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 27 June 1941:
"Obituary - Late Sergeant Geo. McGowan. The whole district was shocked when the news came through on Friday morning last of the death of Sgt. George McGowan, Carnamah, first young man to enlist for active service abroad. Coming to W.A. from Scotland as one of a number of picked boys chosen by the Y.A.L., he eventually arrived in Carnamah, where after being employed for seven years on Mr. C. Robertson's property he was later employed by R. Clark and J. Bowman. Although of a reserved nature he gradually began to take an active part in the public life of the district, and was an active supporter of the football and cricket clubs. Possessed of a magnificent physique he made an imposing figure in uniform, and we who knew him, feel certain that when the time came he upheld the great tradition of the A.I.F., and also of that country that has given to the empire some of its greatest soldiers. To his sorrowing father and mother in far-away Scotland, we extend our sincerest sympathy at the loss of their only child and to "Big George" we say farewell."
