"Obituary - Death of Mr. John Tucker. The death occurred on Friday of last week of Mr. John Tucker who was for many years headmaster at Thomas street State school, Subiaco. He was one of the founders of the Young Australia League and was prominently connected with the work of the Methodist Church. He was 75 years of age last week. The late Mr. Tucker was born in Victoria and was educated in South Australia where he joined the Education Department as a young man. In 1901 he came to this State to join the Education Department as headmaster of the Lake View School. In 1904 he was transferred to Thomas street School and remained there until his retirement in 1928, when he had completed 50 years' unbroken record as a teacher. Always keenly interested in Australian football, the late Mr. Tucker did a great deal of work in promoting the game in the State schools and in recognition of his efforts he was made an honorary life member of the West Australian National Football League. Until a few weeks ago he regularly attended the big football matches in Perth. In 1906 Mr. Tucker, the late Mr. A. R. Hocking and Mr. J. J. Simons formed the Young Australia Football League. From this organisation the Young Australia League was later formed and Mr. Tucker was first president of the Y.A.L., holding that office for five years. In 1924 Mr. Tucker went to Europe as an officer of the Y.A.L. and was received by King George V and Queen Mary. Since his retirement from the Education Department he spent practically all his time doing work for the Y.A.L, in the different States his last job being in Queensland two years ago. The late Mr. Tucker was prominent in Methodist Church circles in this State, being a lay preacher for a number of years. He also attended a number of triennial Methodist conferences in different States. The late Mr. Tucker is survived by a widow and three sons, including Mr. A. P. Tucker, of Carnamah."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 12 December 1941:
"Obituary - Late Mr. John Martin Tully. The flying of the flag at half-mast in Carnamah on Sunday last heralded the news that Mr. John Martin Tully, an old and highly respected resident of the Carnamah district, had passed over the Great Divide. The news of the deceased gentleman's death did not come altogether as a shock, as he had been ailing for some time. The late Mr. Tully was a native of New South Wales and during his younger days he followed the calling of a miner. He saw active service during the Great War of 1914-18, and served with the 28th Battalion. He first came to this district about 1921 or 1922, when he selected land at Prowaka under the Soldier Settlers Scheme, and during the intervening years he earned the esteem and respect with of all with whom he came in contact. Advancing years and failing health compelled him to give up farm life about two years ago, and since then he has been residing at the Shaftsbury Hotel in Perth. The deceased gentleman was a bachelor, but leaves two elderly sisters to mourn their loss. One of the Miss Tullys is well-known in the Carnamah district as she kept house for her deceased brother for many years."

From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 1 October 1955:
"Obituary - Mrs. Ada Rose Haig - Old District Identity. After a somewhat protracted period of failing health and at the ripe old age of eighty-three years, death claimed yet another old identity of the North Midlands in the person of Mrs. Ada Rose Haig in the North Midlands District Hospital at Three Springs on Sunday morning last. The deceased lady, who was born at Moralana Station (South Australia) in 1872, first came to this State [over] fifty years ago and for some time resided in Kalgoorlie and Boulder. Shortly afterwards she was married to Mr. John Maurice Haig, who at the time was managing a mine of the goldfields and with whom she returned in 1908 to South Australia to follow farming and pastoral pursuits on a station property at Quorn. They had resided on the goldfields for a period of ten years and left the State with a small family. After having spent eight years at Quorn they disposed of their property and then for a further period of eight years resided at Mt. Barker and Adelaide. In 1926 they again came to Western Australia with a family of four sons and three daughters and acquired a property at Winchester. Therefore, for [almost] the past thirty years the late Mrs. Haig has resided in the North Midlands, her husband having predeceased her at Carnamah about nine years ago. The late Mrs. Haig, who was a lady with a very lovable nature and likeable disposition, made many firm friends during her lengthy residence in the North Midlands, perhaps more particularly from around Winchester and Carnamah, having spent the declining few years of her life at the homes of her two daughters at the latter centre, and it was only about three weeks ago that she was compelled to enter hospital. During that period, however, despite her remarkable fortitude, her strength gradually weakened until she lapsed into unconsciousness and passed peacefully away on Sunday last. For many years the deceased lady had been a very active member of the Carnamah Branch of the Country Women's Association, and until a few years ago she was also evinced quite a lively interest in the public affairs of the district. The deceased lady is survived by all members of her family of four sons and three daughters, these being Messrs. Clyde Haig (Winchester), Edward Haig (Carnamah), Keith Haig (Adelaide), Hugh Haig (Queensland) and Mesdames A. C. Bierman (Carnamah), H. Pope (Carnamah) and P. Little (Melbourne), who have families comprising sixteen children and five great grandchildren. In the presence of relatives and friends the funeral took place in the Anglican Cemetery at Winchester on Tuesday last with the Rev. F. C. Armstrong officiating at the graveside. The pall-bearers were Messrs. G. B. Raffan, L. W. Grierson, E. K. Wells and A. R. C. Forrester, and the casket was borne from the hearse to the graveside by Messrs. C. J. T. Martyn, C. Chapman, W. A. Turner and R. A. F. Solling."

"Farmer's Sudden Demise - Death of Mr. Charles Turner. Under somewhat sudden circumstances, the death occurred in the North Midlands District Hospital at Three Springs on Sunday last of a well-known resident of Carnamah in the person of Mr. Charles William John Turner, who had followed farming pursuits in that district for a period of about forty years. The deceased gentleman, who was sixty-nine years of age, was admitted to hospital as the result of a heart seizure, and after being under treatment for about ten days preparations were being made for him to return to his home when there was a recurrence of his disability which caused the intervention of death. The late Mr. Turner was married at Carnamah, and of the union there were two sons - Messrs. Charles and Albert Turner - the former being deceased while the latter is on his late father's property, Mrs. Turner having predeceased her husband about two-and-a-half years ago. Other surviving adult relatives are Mr. William Turner and Mesdames M. S. Aunger and L. Schier, all of whom reside at Carnamah. The funeral of the deceased took place in the Anglican Cemetery at Winchester on Tuesday last with the Rev. F. L. Armstrong, of Three Springs, officiating at the graveside in the presence of quite a large number of district residents. The pall-bearers were Messrs. E. Griffith, A. Forrester, W. Bothe and R.

From the Fatal Accident Report of Lawlers Gold Mine:
"Mr Graeme James Turner, the driver of a water truck, employed by Leighton Contractors at the Plutonic Resources Ltd Lawlers Gold Mine, suffered fatal injuries in an accident at the mine at about 10.00 hours on Saturday, 13 September 1997. Mr Turner was driving a water truck (Ford Louisville on-road type) taking a quantity of water down the access ramp at the New Holland Pit to water a shot when he made a "Mayday" call on the radio. The vehicle went out of control and gained speed. After travelling approximately 600 metres along the straight section of ramp at high speed the watercart failed to negotiate a bend on the ramp. The watercart went over onto its left hand side, hit the pit wall, slid along the wall and was slowed in its forward direction by a large protruding area in the pit wall. This collision caused the back end of the watercart to come around in an anticlockwise direction away from the pit wall. The vehicle came to rest at a right angle across the pit ramp still on its left hand side. The engine and cabin of the watercart sustained the full force of the impact. The accident was observed by a truck driver and the Leighton's pit foreman who raised the alarm immediately. Despite the efforts of rescuers and paramedics the casualty was not able to be freed from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at 11:38 hours. The deceased was released from the watercart by the Leinster fire brigade at 13:40 hours and taken to the Leinster Mortuary by the Plutonic ambulance."
