From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 13 February 1942:
"Sid Bennett and Jack Morris together in Middle East. The following letter was recently received by Mr. G. Threadgold, of Five Gums, from Private Jack Morris, and he handed it to the Girls' Club. Although he was not too well known in Carnamah Private Morris worked for Mr. Threadgold for some time and spent his pre-embarkation leave at Carnamah. He was accorded a send off with Pts. E. Haig, S. Bennett, G. Clark and H. Anderson.
WX9621 Private B. Morris, 32nd Coy., 24th A.I.T.B., Abroad. As you can see from the address I am now abroad. We came over here on one of the biggest liners in the world; sorry I can't tell you the name, but believe me it was the best I ever saw, just like a floating palace. We had a good trip over; the sea was calm and the weather was good. We have now been in this camp nearly 4 weeks' it's not a bad place, but of course nothing to what Northam was, but then we did not expect it to be. The food is good - plenty of good stew twice a day and roast beef the other meal. The natives here are about the dirtiest in the world. They come round our camp and have a feed out of the pig tins. We marched through one of their villages the other day and the smell was enough to make one sick. They all live together with their dogs, donkeys and camels so you can guess what it's like. It is now winter over here and it gets very cold at night and early morning and we are getting quite a lot of rain. The natives, or as we call them, Wogs, are now busy getting their crops in. They are just like the Aussie farmer, going from day-light to dark. They do all their ploughing with a wooden plough pulled by one camel and broadcast the seed. There are no fences but the stock never seem to get on the crops. I saw a mob of lambs and ewes this afternoon, the lambs were fine and strong but the ewes were not much to look at. They are more like cross breds and have very course wool. Well, Glen, how did the crops turn out this year, I hope they were good? It's now only three days to Xmas but it will be quite different from the last one when I was in Carnamah as there won't be quite so much beer. We can only buy one bottle every second day and it costs 60 mills a bottle. Mills are the local money and go 800 to the Aussie pound. They take quite a lot of getting used to. Sid Bennett is still with me and is in the same tent; he wishes to be remembered to you. It is night as I write this and as the light is poor you will have to excuse the writing. We are living twelve men to a tent; the other boys are all playing cards and the noise they are making is great. Sid is about the loudest; he told me to tell you he is cleaning the boys up at 10 mills a time. Some of us got parcels today for Christmas. I got one from the Carnamah Girls' Club. Sid got one also. You should have seen us opening them, we were just like kids with Xmas stockings looking to see what the others had got. We have decided to pool the cake, etc., and have a bit of a party Christmas Eve. Glen, when you go to Carnamah, will you thank the Girls' Club for me, Miss Parkin is the secretary. How is Leo Green and his wife? Please give them my regards and I will write to them later."

Frederick C. WOODS, the Midland Railway Company's Ranger, wrote the following in a letter dated 10 June 1918:
"I have seen Mrs Niven. She tells me she is quite able to carry on the work on the farm, but financially she is quite in the dark as to how she stands. Mr Niven, it appears, consulted her very little in this respect. She is getting assistance from the Industries Assistance Board, and will have under crop this year about 250 acres. The early sown crop looks well. Mr Niven (as far as Mrs Niven can gather) was going down to Perth to consult Messrs Stone and Burt on a matter connected with a sum of money left to him by his late brother in Scotland. These papers she says were lost or destroyed. She is quite in the dark where her husband died, and who was with him at the time of death."
Note: other letters reveal he was travelling to Perth for medical attention, which it would appear he didn't disclose to his wife


From The North Midland Times newspaper, Thursday 12 July 1956:
"Obituary - The death occurred at Midland Junction on Sunday the 1st inst., of an old resident of Carnamah in Mrs. Annie Niven, widow of the late Robert Niven formerly of "Craigend," Carnamah. The deceased lady was 79 years of age and is survived by seven daughters and seven sons. The late Mrs. Niven was among the first settlers to come to Carnamah. The funeral took place at Karrakatta and was attended by a large number of relatives and friends."

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 15 October 1936:
"A grandson of Mr. J. Nairn, one of the earliest settlers in the Carnamah district, Mr. H. Nairn, in 1924 purchased 12,000 acres of virgin country from the Macpherson Estate. In 1908 he left his father's property at Carnamah to take up a 350,000-acre Murchison pastoral lease, which he still holds. Although holding a big tract of virgin land Mr. Nairn had developed both his pastoral lease and his sheep and wheat farm at Three Springs. Salt lake country and the lack of water are the two chief problems with which he has to contend on his farming property, on which he has cleared 2,800 acres. Mr. Nairn is an enthusiastic worker for the district agricultural show and is particularly interested in horse and cattle exhibits."
