From The Moora Herald and Midland Districts Advocate newspaper, Friday 25 February 1916:
"Three Springs Notes - (From our Correspondent) - Whether it is owing to the changeable weather or not I cannot say, but there is certainly a great deal of infantile sickness in our district at present; and it is with great regret I record the fact that on Sunday night last Mr. and Mrs. Frank Legge lost their baby, and only son. Doctors not being available for all country towns, it seems a great pity that some scheme of district nurses cannot be arranged. Infants are such frail and delicate a piece of humanity that by the time we notice them a little "off colour" and can write to a doctor to find out what it wrong, we have lost them. Whereas with a qualified resident nurse who could advise promptly as to "home treatment" or straight to the doctor many a life would be saved."

Deceased, who was 44 years of age, has not enjoyed good health for about three years and complained of feeling unwell early in the day. During the evening he had a severe seizure and Dr. Mayrhofer was sent for, but the deceased passed away shortly before the Doctor arrived. Mr. And Mrs. H. Linthorne, of Midland Junction, parents of the deceased, who were passengers on Thursday morning's mail train to Dongara were informed of the sad news at Carnamah. They left the train at Arrino and took charge of the children, later taking them to Perth. The late Mr. Linthorne had been connected with the Midland Railway Company for over 24 years and had been stationed at Arrino for the past 10 years, where he took an active interest in the social and sporting activities of the town and was well respected and held in high esteem by all who knew him.

From The Irwin Index newspaper, Friday 7 October 1960:
Death of Old Three Springs Postmaster Back in 1912, before the Government railway to Mullewa via Wongan Hills was built, Three Springs was the last mail distribution point for a number of towns including Morawa and Perenjori, to which centres the mail was sent by road. It was during this era that the late Mr. Charles Edward Luscombe who recently passed peacefully away in Mt. Lawley was posted to Three Springs Post Office. The late Mr. Luscombe was born at Geelong in Victoria and joined the Postmaster-General's Department in Bunbury at the age of 21. He was transferred from Sandstone to Three Springs in 1912. He remained at the last mentioned centre until he retired as postmaster in 1946, and, having established firm "roots" during that long period, he elected to remain there for his years of leisure. However in 1957 ill-health enforced a move to the metropolitan area. The deceased gentleman is survived by his widow, one son (Mr. W. Luscombe) and a daughter (Mrs E. Gersch of Bowgada). The funeral took place in the Methodist portion of the Karrakatta Cemetery with the Rev. S. Saggers officiating and the pall bearers were Messrs W. J. Turner, A. Mortimer, R. Shaw, F. Hall, T. R. Weidon and T. S. Byrne."
