From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 15 October 1936:
Through the Victoria District - Carnamah - Two Men of Carnamah - W. A. T. Sargent
"Twelve years ago Mr. W. A. T. Sargent took up 5,300 acres of virgin country at Carnamah, and later increased his holding to 7,300 acres. He now has all his land cleared except for some shade timber, and 2m200 acres are under a wheat crop, besides 1,000 acres of oats and barley for feed. He runs 2,500 sheep and 800 lambing ewes. Mr. Sargent considers Carnamah a first-class district, for stud breeding, but the long dry summer affects the wool to a certain extent. For seven years he has successfully carried on stud breeding, and has won prizes in the Royal Show, besides various country shows. In 1934 he bought the Boonooke Cup winner for 230 guineas, and this year imported two exceptional top stud rams from Collinsville, South Australia, one of which cost 250 guineas. Mr. Sargent, who is 56 years of age, is president of the North Midlands Registered Stud Stock Breeders' Association, which was formed this year, and had its inaugural sale at Carnamah on September 18."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 31 January 1936:
"Obituary - The Late Mr. W. B. Sheridan. The death occurred at 4 a.m. on Sunday, January 26, at the Carnamah Hospital, when Mr. W. B. Sheridan, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Sheridan, of Queens Park, Perth, passed away after an illness resulting from injuries received from a motor car accident when his car crashed head-on into a stump on the Carnamah-Three Springs Road on December 16. As a result of injuries received from the accident Mr. Sheridan was an inmate of the Three Springs Hospital for three weeks when he returned to his home at Carnamah. On January 17 he suffered a relapse necessitating his removal to the Carnamah Hospital where he was found to be suffering from meningitis. His untimely demise came as a shock to the residents of the district and the deepest sympathy is felt for his sadly bereaved wife and sons. The deceased, who was 46 years of age, was an old and highly esteemed resident of the Midlands. Born at Walebing, the late Mr. Sheridan was educated at Christian Brothers College, Perth, after which he was engaged as a jackeroo on a station in Yandanooka. He enlisted for the Great War as member of the 10th L.H., being one of the earliest to leave for the front from this State. Returning from the war he followed farming pursuits at Moora. After relinquishing farming operations Mr. Sheridan was engaged as district representative for the North Midlands Farmers Co-op, retaining that position until about 18 months ago, when he purchased Messrs. Elder Smith & Co's. Agency at Carnamah from Mr. R. Laffan, in which business he was engaged in until his death. The late Mr. Sheridan, possessed of a quiet and unassuming manner, was possibly the most well known and popular identity in the Midlands. He was a great sport and until later years took an active part in practically every game. His prowess as an all-round cricketer was above the average. He was a keen rifle shot and in later years became an ardent golfer. He always took a keen interest in the affairs of the district and held many executive positions in various bodies and clubs. He was also a member of the Masonic fraternity. The funeral, which was one of the largest seen in Carnamah, approximately 60 cars forming the procession, took place at the Winchester Cemetery on Monday morning. The Rev. A. J. Toomey, who performed the last rites, conducted a service in the Carnamah Church from where the cortege moved to the cemetery. The chief mourners were Mrs. W. B. Sheridan (wife), Ross, Max and Tom (sons); Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Sheridan, snr., (father and mother) and Mrs Buzzard (sister), of Queens Park; Mrs. Fairclough, snr., (mother-in-law), Mr. and Mrs. T. Fairclough and Mr. and Mrs. W. Fairclough (brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law), of Moora. The pall-bearers were Messrs. J. K. Forrester (Carnamah Road Board), J. C. Haig (Carnamah Masonic Lodge), G. F. Brown (R.S.L.), A. C. Bierman (Cricket Club), I. Johnson (Golf Club) and R. W. Clark (Carnamah Agricultural Society).
