From The Moora Herald and Midland Districts Advocate newspaper, Friday 11 August 1916:
Following the death of Herbert Horatio CLARK the following piece appeared within the newspaper's Three Springs Notes...
"Another burial of an infant, this time from Carnamah, in our local cemetery, once again brings to my mind the urgent necessity of some kind of district nursing scheme, such as mentioned by me some time ago. Our cemetery is, unfortunately, beginning to show that the grim harvester death has been at work all too frequently and with one exception all the graves contain infants. As most infants' deaths are caused through want of a little elementary knowledge in infantile complaints, surely a little of the energy directed to sending our men folk to death or glory, could be spared to evolve some scheme to save the lives of infants who are sadly needed to fill the gaps caused by war. This is a State matter and not one to be handled by any single community."

Country Towns and Districts - Carnamah's Advancement
"Ten years ago Mr. Roger Clark settled in the district under the repatriation scheme, and later acquired an adjoining block so that he now owns 1,788 acres. All of it is cleared and 1,000 acres is first class country. Mr. Clark served with the 28th Battalion and subsequently with the 2nd Machine Gun Battalion, and was on Gallipoli Peninsula and France. He is now captain of the Carnamah Rifle Club. This season he cropped 790 acres of wheat principally on fallow, the average yield being 21 bushels. About 450 acres were on his best land. His [wheat] varieties are Nabawa, Bena, Gresley and Merredin and he follows a three-year rotation. Gresley has been grown with much success for nine years, and this season so high a yield as 12 bags was obtained from it. Gresley is always cut for hay. The property is running 700 sheep at present, and 300 acres have been fallowed for next season. There is a plentiful supply of water from five wells."


From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 17 October 1935:
Victoria Agricultural Districts - Carnamah Area
"The president of the Carnamah District Agricultural Society (Mr. R. W. Clark), is an Englishman, having been born in Hertfordshire about 40 years ago. After completing his school days he migrated to Western Australia, where he soon found employment in the Irwin district, where he acquired a sound knowledge of farming and pastoral pursuits. At the outbreak of the Great War, Mr. Clark enlisted in the A.I.F., and attained the rank of sergeant. Returning to Western Australia he acquired a farming property at Carnamah, which today is one of the many fine farming propositions in the district. Mr. Clark takes a prominent part in the social amenities of the district, and hold executive positions on most of the organisations created for the advancement and welfare of the district. The excellent financial result of the Agricultural Society's recent show speaks volumes for his organising ability."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 14 November 1941:
"Obituary - Vale Leading Aircraftsman W. Clark. The news was received in Carnamah last week-end to the effect that Leading Aircraftsman W. ("Billy") Clark had paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving with the R.A.A.F. in the Middle East. The late "Billy" Clark was the son of Mr. E. J. ("Teddie") Clark, of Carnamah, and Mrs. Clark, of Victoria Park. He was born at Carnamah and was educated at the Carnamah State school. Upon leaving school he was employed at Mr. D. S. O'Grady's garage, and served his time as a mechanic. During the whole of this time he showed a remarkable aptitude for sport in all its branches, and like the whole Clark family was an outstanding footballer and cricketer, excelling particularly at football. Above all, he always played the game as it should be played. After serving his five years' apprenticeship he moved to the city, where he was employed as a salesman at Atkins Motors. Later he embarked in business on his own. During latter years he almost forsook his home town, but the majority of the older residents will have little difficulty in recalling this pleasing personality. A widow and small child are left to mourn their loss, and to them and his sorrowing mother and father and brothers and sisters our deepest sympathy is extended. Vale "Billy" Clark; he died that we might live. Two other brothers Eddie (Air Force) and George (A.I.F.) are also on active service abroad."

"Departure of Carnamah Residents - Probably at no period in the history of Carnamah has there been such an exodus of old residents as has taken part in the past 12 months, and still it goes on. The latest change will be the departure of Mrs. F. E. Brewer and family. The Brewer family came to Carnamah about nine years ago, during which time they have controlled the Carnamah Hotel, where they have kept a first-class "house" with genial hospitality, which earned a renowned reputation for the hotel throughout the North Midlands. Many residents and travellers will view with regret the pending departure of this popular family."
