From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 14 January 1928:
"Hostel for Carnamah - A Home From Home - The enterprise of Mr. G. F. Brown, better known to his many friends as Chitter, in choosing Carnamah as the centre of business activities, and erecting an up to date hostel therein is likely to be handsomely rewarded. Already a number of boarders are in residence, and from enquires received, he expects shortly to have the hostel full. In addition to the four rooms which are devoted solely to convenience of boarders, there is a larger 10 ft. verandah round the building, providing a considerable amount of sleeping out space. Electric light and all modern conveniences have been installed. There is a larger comfortable looking dinning-room, and no effort has been spared to make the place a veritable home. To that end Mrs. Brown will supervise the culinary arrangements herself. A piano has been provided in the dinning-room from which the capable fingers of the hostess will extract music for the enjoyment of her guests, and delightful musical evenings may be looked forward to by the fortunate boarders. Moderation is to be the key note with regard to tariff, the charge for a full week's board and residence being only 35/-. For shorter periods the charges will be beds, 2/6 , means, 2/-. Incidentally, Mr. Brown informed a representative of  the "Index" that his enterprise, which has resulted in approximately £1000 being invested in Carnamah, was the outcome of a visit paid by Mrs. Brown to Mrs. J. Lynch some time ago."


From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 9 January 1930:
Country Towns and Districts - Carnamah's Advancement
"When the unofficial history of the A.I.F. comes to be officially written Mr. G. F. (Chitter) Brown should be a valued contributor. He has the distinction of being one of the first Australians to fire a shot in the [First World] war, and was among the first Australian field troops to land in France. In 1914 Mr. Brown was an artilleryman at Fort Forrest, Fremantle, and a few days after the outbreak of war a ship flying an incorrect signal was reported. A shot fired by Mr. Brown was put across her bows. The vessel proceeded into the harbour and was found to be the H.M.S. Phantom, a survey boat. Mr. Brown had the pleasure of sending reminders to three other vessels. In those days the Emden was prowling the seas and the authorities were taking no chances. Mr. Brown arrived in France on March 1, 1916, with the 2nd Australian Siege Battery which fired its first shot at Vimy Ridge on March 17. On his retirement from the permanent forces after the war he had served for 14 years. In pre-war football seasons he was a prominent League player with the East Fremantle, South Fremantle, Perth and Cottesloe clubs. In Carnamah, as secretary of the sub-branch of the R.S.L. he is helping to perpetuate the wartime spirit of the diggers."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 30 July 1943:
"Obituary - Vale Geo. Catto. News of the sudden passing of George Catto at Alice Springs, came as a severe blow to the residents of Carnamah last week-end. In fact it still seems unreal that one who had always appeared so hale and hearty, should have been claimed by the Grim Reaper so suddenly. Death, it is understood, was due to pneumonia. George Catto was a returned soldier of the Great War, having served with the 1st 11th Battalion. For many years he farmed in the Inering district and it has been said on many occasions, that he was the best farmer in the whole of the Carnamah district. He was methodical in everything he did on his property, and always had a set place for all his equipment - an example which well might be followed by other farmers. Such a man was George Catto, and many people envied him his well-appointed farm. Some two years or so ago he leased his Inering property to Mr. Bertolotti, and took up residence in the metropolitan area. The deceased gentleman was twice married, his second wife being Miss Kathleen Clark, daughter of Mr. and the late Mrs. J. B. Clark of Carnamah. Two sons (Ronald and Campbell) resulted from this union, together with their sorrowing mother, are left to mourn their sad loss."
