From The West Australian newspaper, Thursday 1 October 1891:
The Midland Railway Company of Western Australia - Dr. Robertson's Report - Carnamah Station
     "Carnamah station is 16 miles north of Long's. In the intervening space there is much good land separated by narrow sand patches. Carnamah station shears 10,000 sheep, and owns 300 first class horses and 300 cattle; about 40 acres are under cultivation. The amount will be increased when the railway is opened. The earthworks are now within eight miles of this station. The soil at the station is light and although cropped for 30 years produces 16 bushels to the acre. In front the scene is unique. A great lake, 25 miles in length and 7 miles across, surrounded by dark foliage into which white glittering bays disappear, is in sight. The salt increased after west seasons, and thousands of tons can be collected. I look upon this as a future source of revenue for the railway, and the national site of pork and ham curing establishments.
     Magnificent farming land of rich chocolate soil is found to the north of Carnamah. This land is level, and is thinly covered by scrub which could be removed by heavy rollers. It has a gentle slope, and is devoid of gullies or irregularities. It is adapted for very large farms, and for the operation of steam ploughs. The cost of clearing will be trifling.  This land is worth 25s. an acre in large lots, and for farms a larger price should be obtained.
     For 35 miles north of Carnamah the land traversed by the railway is all good and of great value, and is all to the east of the line. At Greenbrook, a few miles from Yandanooka, the land consist of the same rich loam, and is covered by nutritive grasses, and is sparely timbered. This extends to the Lockyer River, a tributary of the Irwin, which passes Mingenew."

     To the Monastery's disapproval the child later lived with the "non-civilised" Aboriginal People in Carnamah ^[273]
     His brother Donald MACPHERSON accompanied a man from the Monastery eight miles to collect the child Albert CUPER ^[273]
In 1898 among the Aboriginal People in his employ were two shepherds named Albert and Dick ^{[39: 4-Jun-1898]}
     Albert told him on 30 March 1898 that Dick had left the sheep, so with Carnamah Tommy he set off to investigate ^[39]

From The Newcastle Herald and Toodyay District Chronicle newspaper, Saturday 7 January 1905:
Death of Mr. G. McPherson
"A fatal gun accident occurred on Friday, December 23rd, resulting in the death of Mr. George McPherson (of McPherson Bros., of Carnamah), on the Midland railway. It appears that Mr. McPherson, with his brother, Donald, went out shooting, about 20 miles from home. When half the homewards journey had been accomplished, Donald alighted from the buggy to give a black tracker some rations, leaving his brother holding the reins, with a double-barrelled gun between his knees. As he turned to get in again, he heard two reports, and saw his brother lying on the ground. The reins had become entangled with the triggers, and the charge in both barrels had exploded, entering Mr. McPherson's right arm near the shoulder. Mr. Donald McPherson placed his brother in the trap, drove him to the station, and they boarded the train for Perth. Dr. Kelsall joined the train at one of the stations en route, and did all that was possible for the sufferer. On arrival he was taken to Miss McKimmie's hospital, and attended by Dr. Kelsall. The next day an operation was considered advisable, and in the afternoon Dr. Kelsall amputated the injured limb at the shoulder. The patient appeared fairly well after the operation, but at 2:30 p.m. on the following Sunday morning he died, as stated, from shock. The body was conveyed to Newcastle by the 5 o'clock train from Perth on the Monday morning. The remains of the deceased were deposited in the family grave at Culham in the presence of a large gathering of sorrowing friends. The funeral service was read by the Rev. J. Ellis. The deceased, who was a single man 41 years of age, was a popular member of a large and well known family, and great regret and sympathy has been occasioned by his untimely death."

A District Pioneer - The Late Mr. Lachlan Macpherson - Long and Useful Life
"There passed away at his residence at Northampton on January 5 at the age of 87 years Mr Lachlan Macpherson, who played a great part in the pioneering work of the Midlands, Murchison and Victoria Districts. He was born in Adelaide, but when he was only four years of age his father, the late Mr. Duncan Macpherson, removed to Western Australia, and for some time lived in the Toodyay district. Later he removed to Carnamah, when that district was only regarded as suitable for cattle raising, and was on all sides regarded as a great pioneer of that district, which is known far and wide on account of its proved suitability for mixed farming. In the early pioneering work the late Mr. Lachlan Macpherson assisted his father for a number of years. Starting out on his own account, he acquired the well known Yarra property near Oakabella, and was also interested in the early days in Murchison pastoral properties. He married Rodda, daughter of the late Mr. F. W. Waldeck, one of the pioneers of the Greenough district, and she predeceased him about twelve months ago at Northampton. Coming of a racing family, he was well known on the turf, and his colours were carried to the front on more than one occasion by such well-known horses as Black Jack, Sunset and the much-talked of, at the time, Sunbeam, who finished third in a Perth Cup. He was a great authority on stock, and many years ago, when there was a serious outbreak of scab, Mr. T. C. Williams and he acted as assistant inspectors under the late Mr. J. Morton Craig, who was chief inspector and through their efforts the outbreak was eventually got under control, the late Mr. Macpherson earning great credit for his work. He gave up active work about twelve years ago, and although he continued to enjoy fair health, he had been gradually failing in the last two or three years. He leaves one son, Mr. Leslie Macpherson (manager of Meeberrie Station), and five daughters to mourn their loss. The daughters are Mrs. Hilda Mitchell (Northampton), Mrs. Henry Williams (Northampton), Mrs. Henry Jones (Mt Magnet), Mrs. A. M. Leeds (Murchison), and Mrs. F. M. Ryan (Geraldton). His only remaining sister (Miss Bess Macpherson) still lives at the old home at Carnamah. The funeral took place at the Anglican Cemetery at Northampton, the pall bearers being Messrs. H. M. Austin, R. H. Drage, H. McNamara and H. E. Eaton"

A Murchison Pioneer - The Late Mr. R. L. Macpherson
"Mr Reginald Leslie Macpherson, who died suddenly at Meeberrie Station on August 31, at the age of 64, will be missed by a large circle of friends. The only son of the late Lachlan Macpherson, who had early pastoral interests on the Murchison, and his mother, who prior to her marriage was Miss Rodda Waldeck, a member of a well known Greenough family. Upon leaving school Leslie Macpherson spent some time at Northampton and Mandanooka. He then turned his attention to the pastoral industry, and went to Billabalong in January, 1901, to gain experience under his uncle, Alick Macpherson, who was then managing the property - a very hard master, but a most practical and efficient station man. The severe training tested the junior to the fullest, but he carried it through, and this early tuition stood to him twofold in the years to follow. At the death of his Uncle Alick in November, 1907 Mr Leslie Macpherson was installed as manager. Billabalong and Meeberrie (then known as Midgee Midgee) prior to the end of 1913 were all one station and owned by Messrs E. R. & G M. Dempster. The properties were disposed of at that time, and the lower end, known as Ballabalong, was purchased by Messrs Darlot Bros. Ltd., and the top end, now known as Meeberrie, by Messrs J. & C. Berry Ltd. After the handing over of these properties, Mr Macpherson took over the management of Woolgorong (owned by Mr H. A. Lee Steere) on January 2, 1914, and remained in that capacity until the end of March, 1919, when he accepted the position of manager of Meeberrie, which he held continuously and successfully for over 26 years. He was conscientious and capable, and had few equals as a station man. The late Mr Macpherson leaves a widow, two sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Bill, is in the R.A.A.F."

From The West Australian newspaper, Friday 24 April 1896:
"Death of an old resident at Geraldton. Geraldton, April 23. An old resident of the Victoria and Newcastle districts died at the Victoria Hospital yesterday afternoon in the person of Wm. 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."
