From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 11 February 1939:
Late Dr Hungerford - Long Association with Geraldton - Former Resident Medical Officer
"It was with very great regret that residents of Geraldton and the district heard of the death of Dr L. M .T. Hungerford, which occurred on Thursday of last week at St John of God Hospital, Subiaco. Dr Hungerford, who was 74 years of age, had been in failing health for some time past, and his death occurred after a long illness. He was a native of Cork, Ireland, and after taking his medical degree at Dublin, he came out to Western Australia. For two years he was district medical officer at Dongara, and was then transferred to Busselton, where, in addition to being resident medical officer, he was also the resident magistrate. In 1898 he was appointed district medical officer at Perth and also acted as medical officer for the municipality. The following year he resigned those positions to become district medical officer and quarantine officer at Geraldton. He had the sole control of the Victoria District Hospital under the old regime, and his association with Geraldton continued for many years. He was held in the highest esteem, and was well liked. He took a great interest in the affairs of the district and in 1912 he was elected unopposed as Mayor, but resigned the position in the following July. At one time he was interested in a farming property in the Upper Chapman district where he had a citrus orchard. When he severed his connection with Geraldton several years ago he was for a time resident in the North Midlands and in the Moora districts. Later he held the position of resident medical officer at Esperance, but retired about a year ago. The funeral took place in the Church of England Cemetery at Karrakatta on Friday afternoon of last week."

     A motion was put forward at the meeting, and carried, that two surveyed bores be established to relieve the water shortage ^[5]
     The bore put down in the Womarden Ward eight miles from Three Springs was a failure, delivering only salty water ^{[5: 28-Feb-1936]}
     Due to the acute situation with water, and as the contractor and his plant were on site, he had a second bore put down ^[5]
     At the next meeting of the Three Springs Road Board he asked the members to confirm his action in having this done ^[5]
     Two members endorsed his actions, one saying he "had used his best discretion and had worked in the interests of the Board" ^[5]
     Three members of the Board, and one in particular, were not so understanding and the motion endorsing his action was lost ^[5]

     Prior to the meeting he had obtained advice from the Road Board Association's solicitors re his actions with the bores ^{[5: 13-Mar-1936]}
     The solicitors stated that he had "acted according to the Road Districts Act  1919-33 and in the best interests of the Board" ^[5]
     The ratepayers at the meeting supported him unanimously and found fault with the Members of the Board who had opposed him ^[5]
     After much discussion a motion was put forward by a local farmer that  all Members of the Board should resign immediately ^[5]
     He agreed with this motion, and that the ratepayers could then elect a new Board, or any of the old Members as they saw fit ^[5]
     Himself, Albert I. BROAD and Henry C. STACEY resigned, however the other members showed no signs of cooperation ^[5]
     As three of the Board's Members had resigned, there was insufficient Members and the Board was automatically defunct ^[5]
     At the end of the meeting a vote of thanks, which was "carried with acclamation" was bestowed on him for chairing the meeting ^[5]
After the Road Board became defunct a Government Commissioner was sent to run things until a new Board was elected ^{[5: 10-Apr-1936]}

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 26 December 1929:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Mingenew - People and Properties
"The chairman of the Three Springs Road Board is Mr. E. Hunt, who is indefatigable in his efforts to promote the interests of the township and district. He is chairman of the football and cricket clubs, and an enthusiastic supporter of other public bodies. Mr. W. Padbury's well-known property, Fairfield, which consists of 8,500 acres, is managed by Mr. Hunt, who has had extensive agricultural experience in England. He arrived in Western Australia in 1912, and in 1919 he took control of Mr. Padbury's Rose Hill Friealan Stud, at Guildford, until 1922, when he went to Wannamal to engage in share farming with Mr. Padbury. While there he also managed the Ayrshire Stud. Mr. Hunt came to Three Springs in 1923. This year 2,800 acres were cropped on Fairfield, and a five bag average is expected. Next year 3,120 acres will be seeded. In 1926 an auto-header was purchased, and it has given satisfactory results, harvesting up to 40 acres daily. Mr. Hunt is very popular throughout the district, and his many public services are deeply appreciated. He is the most unassuming of men."


From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 5 October 1933:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Carnamah - Rich Pastoral and Wheat Lands - A Progressive Community
"Mr Edward Hunt, the popular chairman of the Three Springs district road board since its inception in 1929, when it was alienated from the Carnamah and Mingenew road board districts, is a native of Lancashire, where he was born in 1878. As a lad on his father's farm he acquired considerable knowledge of the industry, particularly in that section relating to stud stock, so that when he decided to migrate to Western Australia, he was comparatively well equipped with the knowledge essential to success on the land. Arriving in W.A. in 1911, he set out to gain local farming experience in various agricultural districts until 1918, when he engaged with Mr William Padbury as stud master at Rosehill stud farm, Guildford. Since then, Mr Hunt has been actively engaged in the preparation of stud stock horses, cattle and sheep on behalf of Mr William Padbury, and has had outstanding success at the Perth, Melbourne and Sydney Royal Shows. At present, Mr Hunt is manager of Mr William Padbury's Fairfield property of 8,500 acres at Three Springs. In addition to his road board activities, Mr Hunt takes a very keen interest in the sport of the district, and holds executive positions with many of the clubs in the district. He is also a past president of the Three Springs Agricultural Show."

In this he has been fairly successful and amongst other machinery has power drills, power dressing wheels, power valve grinding machinery, hydraulic press, battery charging and test appliances, oxywelding plant, etc. installed and is now able to undertake any class of work and execute same at reasonable charges in a minimum of time.
