From The Carnamah-Three Springs Times And Arrino Advertiser newspaper, Friday 8 July 1932, Vol. 1, No. 1:
"The Death of Mrs. E. K. Byrne - The Passing of a Mother and Pioneer - When it became known that Mrs. E. K. Byrne had passed away a great wave of poignant regret spread throughout the Three Springs district. For the past eighteen years she had filled a large part in the life of the community, and her death is mourned from Midland Junction to Geraldton. Her husband, Mr. E. K. Byrne, had figured prominently in the pioneering of this district, as well as at Wannamal in the distant south. To him there goes out a deep and sincere sympathy from a host of friends far and near, in the loss of his beloved companion. Mrs. Byrne came from an old pioneering family of the Victoria Plains, whose settlers have done so much to develop the lands of the Midlands. The glory of achievement had too often been given to the man - let us for once pay a tribute to the pioneer woman. There is no stronger instinct in the world than that of motherhood - in human of beast that instinct is the strongest, and it will count no sacrifice too great to care for its own. This is the story of Isabella Byrne, the mother of nine sons and two daughters. She came to this district in 1914, and her wonderful example cheered many. Her home was a home indeed and in truth; it was her kingdom as it is the kingdom of any mother, rich or poor. One of her sons went to the Geraldton High School and two to the Narrogin School of Agriculture. Mrs. Byrne had been ill for about four months, from heart trouble and gradually became weaker until she passed away peacefully in her sleep at 6 a.m. on Friday, July 1st. The new Church at Three Springs was crowded at the service conducted by the Rector, the Rev. E. Chard. During the service the hymns "Rock of Ages" and "Abide with Me" were sung. A large number of residents of this district made the journey to Moora to be present at the funeral. The chief mourners were Mr. E. K. Byrne, Snr., Husband; Messrs E., R., H., F. and L. Byrne, Sons; Mrs. R. A. Caldow and Miss A. Byrne, Daughters; Mr. H. H. Byrne, son; Mrs. W. Byrne, sister; Mr. T. H. Byrne, Son-in-law; three sons, Messrs T., J. and F. J. Byrne were absent at Port Hedland. The remains were taken to Moora on Saturday morning last and were placed in the chancel of the Anglican Church. Many beautiful wreaths covered the coffin. At 3 p.m. at service was held which was largely attended. The Rev. J. L. Brown conducted the first part of the service, after which the Rector, the Rev. F. W. Gunnig, spoke to the congregation from the chancel steps. "There is not much left for us to do for our dear one," said Mr. Gunning, "but that little we shall do loving and bravely. It is more than 22 years since I first knew Mrs. E. K. Byrne. She then lived with her husband and young family at Wannamal. In 1914 the family moved northward to the fruitful lands of Three Springs, which at that time were attracting considerable notice. There she has lived every since. But though she made many friends in that new centre her real home is in this district where she was born. It was her wish to be laid to rest among her old associates, and she will be buried in the Moora cemetery. But her oldest friends rest in that God's acre at Glentromie. She was born at Fairlawn, between New Norcia and Mogumber 64 years ago. Her father and mother were among the pioneers of these parts. In 1855 Mr. and Mrs. John Woods arrived in the State by the ship 'City of Bristol' from Country Armagh, in Ulster. John Woods served first of all at Walebing for Mr. Anthony O'Grady Lefroy under the managership of the late John Joyce, and later at Glentromie in the service of Mr. Donald Macpherson. The lives of many of his children and connections have been spent on the Victoria Plains. Mrs. John Halligan, Snr, of Marbro, who is now 78 was brought with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Woods, as a small child to this district. But it was at Fairlawn that Isabella Woods (later Mrs. E. K. Byrne) was born, and in the quite simplicity of that bush home she lived the first 22 years of her life. In 1890 she married, and has reared nine sons and two daughters. This is the first break in that family relationship. I buried her father, who died at the age of 84, in the old Glentromie cemetery, 20 years ago. My horse had just come from Yathroo a long drive, and I had to start off with him again for Fairlawn, by the way of Waddington, and New Norcia to visit him on his death bed. And so there passes from us one whose life has been spent in the old and new settlements of the Midlands, and with each one there goes so much of the dear dead days of the past. She has been a splendid mother. She passes from our sight bequeathing to her family and to all who knew her, a beautiful memory. And I want to say this to her sons, superfluous as it may seem - treasure the memory of your mother. There are not too many influences in this world that help us upwards, and we ought not to lightly sacrifice those that do, and among the most uplifting things in a man's life is the memory of his mother. She is, next to God, the most beautiful thing man can ever know. And on his birthday every man ought to kneel down and thank God for his mother. It is by such deliberate recollection that she will walk through life beside you, and make her presence felt in every need and turn you from temptation's way. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends will be with you in this great hour of sorrow, but God alone can heal your grief. He has given us the promise, through His Son, of a resurrection to life everlasting. In this faith let us live and do our work, and in this faith let us die, sure that somewhere beyond the shadows the light of other days will greet us in all its glorious radiance." The congregation then sang "Lead Kindly Light," after which the coffin was borne by Messrs E. W. Franklin, C. Kroschel, I. Wallace and J. Lynch to the hearse. At the graveside the Rector read the concluding portion of the burial service."
