From The North Midland Times newspaper, Thursday 11 January 1951:
"Obituary - The Late Mr. G. N. Greenwood. It is with regret that we have to record the sudden death on Monday, December 18 of Mr. Geo. N. Greenwood at his residence, "Maryland," Waddy Forest. Although the deceased gentleman had not enjoyed the best of health over the past few years his sprightly manner disguised his illness to a large extent, so that his passing was unexpected and came as a great shock to his family and large circle of friends. The late Mr. Greenwood was born in England in 1879 and came to West Australia in 1901. Commenced farming operations in Northam and remained there until 1922 when he transferred his family and farming interests to the newly opened settlement of Waddy Forest. From this time until his death Mr. Greenwood was conspicuous of his many activities in the district. All his life he was a keen sportsman playing cricket, football, tennis and golf. Not content with playing sport he took a lively interest in the administrative side at various times, being president of the Coorow Football Club and Coorow Golf Club. He was also a foundation member of the Waddy Forest Tennis Club. As well as sporting activities the late Mr. Greenwood was a public spirited citizen who showed a great interest in all district activities. It was mainly owing to his representations that a school was opened at Waddy Forest and for some time he occupied the position of president of the P. and C. organisations. Besides being a committee man of the Coorow-Waddy Forest Agricultural Society for many years he was also President of the organisation in 1938. As secretary of the P.P.A. for some years he worked hard for the betterment of farming conditions and he was always ready to assist later settlers with information and advice on local conditions. Despite his arduous pioneering labours and the time given to district activity he raised a large family and to his wife and children we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their very great loss. His kindly disposition and happy nature endeared him to all he came in contact with and made him a very welcome member of any group. His passing leaves a gap in the memory of his many friends which cannot adequately be filled. The funeral took place in the Catholic portion of the Three Springs Cemetery with the Rev. Father B. Gallagher officiating at the graveside. A large gathering of relatives and friends attended and a profusion of floral tributes was laid on the grave."

"Obituary - Late Mr. Guy Greenwood. The death occurred suddenly at his home in Waddy Forest on Sunday November 15, of Michael Guy Greenwood, a highly respected resident of the Waddy Forest and Coorow districts. The late Mr. Greenwood had not enjoyed the best of health, but his death came as a great shock to his relatives and friends. The late Mr. Greenwood, who had a quiet but kindly disposition was one of the earliest settlers in the Waddy Forest district. He came to the district with his brother in 1922 and took up farming at his late residence "Manell Farm," Waddy Forest. Previous to that they both came from England in 1902 and took up farming in the Northam district, which they carried on before coming to Waddy Forest. The deceased gentleman leaves a widow, one daughter, two brothers and three sisters, who are the chief mourners. The funeral took place in the Anglican portion of the Winchester cemetery on Monday, November 16, and was one of the largest funerals ever attended. The service at the graveside was conducted by the Rev. R. G. Pym."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 19 July 1935:
"Rev. F. W. Gunning Leaves Moora - 26 Years Residence - The affection and respect of the Moora and Midland residents for the Rev. F. W. Gunning was emphasised on Friday, June 28, when 400 people met in the Moora Town Hall to bid farewell to Rev. and Mrs. Gunning. During the past few weeks the Rev. Gunning has been farewelled at every centre in the Midlands, but it is doubtful if there has been such a representative gathering as on the occasion of the evening at Moora. Extensive preparations were made for the evening and they were fully justified as the gathering indicates. A number of citizens spoke of the loss that would be sustained by Mr. Gunning's departure amongst whom were the Chairman of the Moora Road Board (Mr. E. H. B. Lefroy), Rev. Father Isidore (Roman Catholic Church), Rev. Limb (Methodist Church), Messrs. A. B. Gloster, H. D. Broad, A. McKinley and H. Carr, all of whom made sincere and eulogistic remarks concerning the sterling qualities of the guest as a resident and a Man of God. The Rev. Mr. Gunning leaves Moora to take over the work of the Mt. Hawthorn parish."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 12 May 1939:
"Obituary - Late Mr. A. E. Hill. It is with extreme regret that we record the death of Mr. Alfred Edward Hill, who passed away suddenly at Coorow last Saturday evening. The late Mr. Hill was a well-known figure in Coorow, and the news of his death came as a great shock to all who had known him. The deceased gentleman appeared to be in the best of health and spirits right up to the time of his death. Death was due to heart failure. He was still a comparatively young man being 49 years of age. During his sojourn in the Coorow district he had taken a keen interest in the Coorow Rifle Club and was a popular marksman among his fellow members. Four brothers, two at Gingin and one at Narrogin and another at Victoria Park, and a sister residing at West Perth, are left to mourn their loss. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, the place of interment being the Winchester cemetery."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Thursday 11 January 1951:
"Obituary - The Late Mr. G. N. Greenwood. It is with regret that we have to record the sudden death on Monday, December 18 of Mr. Geo. N. Greenwood at his residence, "Maryland," Waddy Forest. Although the deceased gentleman had not enjoyed the best of health over the past few years his sprightly manner disguised his illness to a large extent, so that his passing was unexpected and came as a great shock to his family and large circle of friends. The late Mr. Greenwood was born in England in 1879 and came to West Australia in 1901. Commenced farming operations in Northam and remained there until 1922 when he transferred his family and farming interests to the newly opened settlement of Waddy Forest. From this time until his death Mr. Greenwood was conspicuous of his many activities in the district. All his life he was a keen sportsman playing cricket, football, tennis and golf. Not content with playing sport he took a lively interest in the administrative side at various times, being president of the Coorow Football Club and Coorow Golf Club. He was also a foundation member of the Waddy Forest Tennis Club. As well as sporting activities the late Mr. Greenwood was a public spirited citizen who showed a great interest in all district activities. It was mainly owing to his representations that a school was opened at Waddy Forest and for some time he occupied the position of president of the P. and C. organisations. Besides being a committee man of the Coorow-Waddy Forest Agricultural Society for many years he was also President of the organisation in 1938. As secretary of the P.P.A. for some years he worked hard for the betterment of farming conditions and he was always ready to assist later settlers with information and advice on local conditions. Despite his arduous pioneering labours and the time given to district activity he raised a large family and to his wife and children we extend our heartfelt sympathy in their very great loss. His kindly disposition and happy nature endeared him to all he came in contact with and made him a very welcome member of any group. His passing leaves a gap in the memory of his many friends which cannot adequately be filled. The funeral took place in the Catholic portion of the Three Springs Cemetery with the Rev. Father B. Gallagher officiating at the graveside. A large gathering of relatives and friends attended and a profusion of floral tributes was laid on the grave."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 19 July 1935:
"Rev. F. W. Gunning Leaves Moora - 26 Years Residence - The affection and respect of the Moora and Midland residents for the Rev. F. W. Gunning was emphasised on Friday, June 28, when 400 people met in the Moora Town Hall to bid farewell to Rev. and Mrs. Gunning. During the past few weeks the Rev. Gunning has been farewelled at every centre in the Midlands, but it is doubtful if there has been such a representative gathering as on the occasion of the evening at Moora. Extensive preparations were made for the evening and they were fully justified as the gathering indicates. A number of citizens spoke of the loss that would be sustained by Mr. Gunning's departure amongst whom were the Chairman of the Moora Road Board (Mr. E. H. B. Lefroy), Rev. Father Isidore (Roman Catholic Church), Rev. Limb (Methodist Church), Messrs. A. B. Gloster, H. D. Broad, A. McKinley and H. Carr, all of whom made sincere and eulogistic remarks concerning the sterling qualities of the guest as a resident and a Man of God. The Rev. Mr. Gunning leaves Moora to take over the work of the Mt. Hawthorn parish."

"Obituary - Late Mr. A. E. Hill. It is with extreme regret that we record the death of Mr. Alfred Edward Hill, who passed away suddenly at Coorow last Saturday evening. The late Mr. Hill was a well-known figure in Coorow, and the news of his death came as a great shock to all who had known him. The deceased gentleman appeared to be in the best of health and spirits right up to the time of his death. Death was due to heart failure. He was still a comparatively young man being 49 years of age. During his sojourn in the Coorow district he had taken a keen interest in the Coorow Rifle Club and was a popular marksman among his fellow members. Four brothers, two at Gingin and one at Narrogin and another at Victoria Park, and a sister residing at West Perth, are left to mourn their loss. The funeral took place on Monday afternoon, the place of interment being the Winchester cemetery."
