From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 27 February 1942:
"Late Mr. James S. Straiton. The news was received in Carnamah on Thursday evening of last week that Mr. J. S. Straiton, a well-known resident of the Winchester district had passed over the Great Divide that day. Although the Deceased gentleman had been failing in health for some time past, this was not generally known, and the news of his death came as a severe shock to all who had known him. The late Mr. Straiton had been engaged in farming pursuits at Winchester for a number of years. Originally he farmed two separate properties close to the [Winchester railway] siding, but about three years ago he disposed of the larger of these properties and decided to concentrate on his smaller holding which is near the Winchester School. The late Mr. Straiton established a small Dorset Horn stud on this Property, and last year he received a particularly good price for all of his export lambs. He did not take a very active part in the social life of the district, preferring to concentrate on the improvement of his farm. A widow and two young sons (Ian and Bruce) are left to mourn their loss, while one sister (Mrs. R. Power) resided in Carnamah. The funeral took place in Perth."

From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 21 May 1932:
"Obituary - Late Mrs. Robertson - Large Concourse at Funeral. At the Carnamah Hospital on Saturday last  the death occurred of one of the most prominent lady residents of the district in the person of Mrs. Jane Syme Robertson, the news coming as a great shock to her many friends in Carnamah and the surrounding centres. The deceased lady, who was 58 years of age, was the wife of the chairman of the Carnamah Road Board (Mr. R. Robertson) and had only been ill for a few days. She entered the hospital suffering from pneumonia, but heart trouble supervened, and she passed away despite all possible care and attention. A sad feature of the occurrence was the fact that her husband had only returned home on the previous Saturday after having undergone an operation in Perth, and was still in a weak state of health at the time of his wife's death. The late Mrs. Robertson took a great interest in the affairs of the community, among whom her lot had been cast, and was highly respected by all with whom she came in contact. She was born in Fifeshire (Scotland) on April 30th, 1874, and was married to Mr. Robertson on February 26, 1896, coming to Western Australia with him and their son (Mr. Charles Robertson) on May 14th, just seventeen years later. Prior to the interment of her remains in the cemetery, which is situated several miles out of town, a service was conducted in the Presbyterian Church by the Rev. J. Barnes, who also officiated at the graveside, where he was assisted by the Rev. S. Lewis. From the church a long cortege comprising over fifty motor vehicles followed the casket to its last resting place, where the attendance was estimated at approximately 350 persons. The chief mourners were Messrs. R. Robertson (husband) and C. Robertson (son), the bereaved husband being present under the care of his medical adviser (Dr. C. P. Rosenthal).

     The land was two "Ready Made Farms" from the Midland Railway Company's Improved Farms Scheme ^[34]

On 30 June 1920 the sale on their 964 acre farm was rescinded by the Midland Railway Company for non-payment of instalments ^[27]
     Earlier in 1920 the Midland Railway Company had reduced the price and instalments on previously sold Ready Made Farms ^[34]

From The Midlands Advertiser newspaper, Friday 11 March 1921:
"Obituary - Mr. Roy Timmings. We regret to chronicle the death of Mr Roy Timmings, eldest son of Mrs A. W. Timmings, 21 Hooper St., West Perth, and nephew of Mrs Yelverton, of Moora. The deceased had been on active service for four years with the 10th Light Horse, and 41st Battery and having passed through all the terrors and dangers of that great war it seemed the more regrettable that he should meet his death so soon after his return, and through so trivial a circumstance. Some eighteen months ago he commenced farming at Carnamah in partnership with Mr Anster Tucker. During the harvesting a grass seed entered his ear which after a while necessitated a journey to Perth and an operation. Although this seemed to be successful and his condition satisfactory for a while a bad turn was experienced and notwithstanding the best nursing, several operations and consultations with four leading doctors of Perth he died of meningitis in St Omer's Hospital, on January 22nd. The deceased was highly respected by all who came in contact with him, and we feel deeply for the widowed mother and other mourners of the family in their great Loss."
