From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 4 September 1942:
"Obituary - Late Mrs. Edith Reynolds. It came as a deep shock to residents of Carnamah to learn on Saturday morning last that Mrs. N. W. Reynolds had collapsed in the train the previous evening while on her way to Perth, to seek specialised medical attention. Although prepared to some extent, for further bad news, it nevertheless cast a deep gloom over the whole of the town when it was made known later in the day that she had been called to rest by her Maker, in the early hours of the morning. The late Mrs. Reynolds had experienced ill-health for the past eighteen months or so, following on from a stroke, and it was only recently that she was prevailed upon to visit the city for a course of specialised medical treatment, which it was thought might cure her. Owing to petrol rationing, Mr. Reynolds was not able to drive her down himself by car, and it was eventually decided that she should make the trip by train on Friday of last week. She was accompanied as far as Moora by Mrs. J. J. House, and when Mrs. House disembarked at that centre, Mrs. Reynolds appeared to be in good health. At Muchea, the unfortunate woman, who had no doubt become perturbed by the fact that the train was well behind schedule, collapsed. An army doctor who was on the train was summoned, and he attended her until she reached Midland Junction. Upon receiving word that his wife was seriously ill, Mr. Reynolds left Carnamah by car, but he and his youngest son (Bill) did not reach Midland until after the deceased lady had passed away. The late Mrs. Reynolds had resided in Carnamah for many years, and during that period she had established many firm friendships. The sympathy of the whole district will go out to her bereaved husband and family: Vivien (Mrs. J. Arnott), Norman (West Midland), Don. (A.I.F.) and William. The deceased lady, who was aged only 55 years, can best be described as a wonderful mother and a great help-mate to her husband. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Monday in the Roman Catholic portion of the Fremantle cemetery, the cortege leaving the residence of her son, Norm., at West Midland."

Loved Five Gums Resident Dies After Lengthy Illness
"Mrs Ethel Mary Gould, who passed away at her home in Five Gums on February 18th after a long illness, was fifty one years of age at the time of her death. She came from Victoria to Carnamah as a bride twenty six years ago and settled with her husband (Mr. A. E. Gould) on his farm at Five Gums, which is 19 miles from Carnamah. It was a big step for a city girl from Melbourne to take, as in those days living conditions in the area were far different from what they are now. There were no refrigerators or modern conveniences, and the mail-man called only once a week. However, the late Mrs Gould proved herself a true member of the community and was always a willing and unselfish worker wherever her services were needed, at home or in the district. C.W.A. Interest. In later years her interests had centred on Three Springs where she was actively concerned with the C.W.A. of which branch she was vice-president for some time before illness caused her to retire from her activities. Mrs Gould is survived by her husband, a son (Alan), and two daughters (Peggy and Margaret). A service was held on Monday last at the Three Springs Anglican Church prior to the funeral which was conducted by the Methodist Minister (Reverend Mr. Threlfell of Moora). Thirty cars followed the funeral to the Three Springs Cemetery. The casket bearers were Messrs. D. Jackson, R. Robertson, T. Reading and B. Parkin, and the pall bearers were Messrs. C.R. Potter, D. Reading, S. Jackson, P. Di Masi, J. Gilmour sen. and G. Bodycoat. Floral Tributes.
