Obituary - Passing of a Three Springs Resident - The Late Mr I. Wallace
"At his home at Three Springs on Sunday morning last there passed away an old and respected resident of the district in the person of Mr Isaac Wallace, the deceased gentleman having reached the age of 72 years. For some time past the late Mr Wallace had been in failing health and his death was therefore not altogether unexpected. As a young man the deceased gentleman arrived in this State from Mt Gambier (S.A.) in 1906 and proceeded to Menzies. From that centre he later transferred to Mulline and then to Sandstone, following mining pursuits in each instant. Some years afterwards he opened a newsagency business in Sandstone, which was then a thriving portion of the Murchison Goldfields, and he also became a member of the Black Range Road Board. In 1910 he disposed of his business interests in Sandstone and transferred to Three Springs with his wife and family. For a time he was engaged in agency work, but later he decided to follow farming pursuits, in which he was engaged until the time of his death. He was a prominent member of the Three Springs Branch of the Wheatgrowers' Union, and for some time officiated as secretary of that organisation. He was also keenly interested in sport, more particularly cricket and football, and as a tribute to his memory members of the Three Springs Football club cancelled a match in which they were scheduled to play last Sunday. The late Mr Wallace is survived by a widow and one son and two daughters. The funeral took place in the Anglican portion of the Three Springs Cemetery on Monday last, the first portion of the burial service being conducted in St James' Church. The officiating minister at both the church and the graveside was the Rev C. A. Walsh, the organ accompanist for the hymns rendered at the church being Mr A. J. Ferguson. The chief mourners were Messrs N.  Wallace (son) and R. James (son-in-law), and the pall bearers were Messrs N. McKenzie, A. R. Strutton, C. M. Maley and K. S. Glyde.

About seven years ago Messrs Watson Bros. sold the Moonlight Gold mine to advantage and the late Mr. G. R. Watson purchased a fine farming property at Three Springs, where he resided ever since. He was very popular in that district, and always took an active part in its welfare. The remains were conveyed by train to the Karrakatta Cemetery and they were interred in the Church of England portion on Wednesday morning. The procession from the farm to the Three Springs railway station was a long one, and included most of the residents of the town and the leading farmers in the district. At Karrakatta the Rev. C. H. D. Grimes officiated in the presence of numerous relatives and friends. The chief mourners were: Mrs M. M. Watson (wife), Mrs J. Watson, snr. (mother), Messrs. J. H. and E. J.

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 27 December 1928:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs - A Fertile Wheat District
Lynch and Arrino - Woopenatty
"An important holding in the district is that of the Woopenatty and Arrino Pastoral Co. exceeding 10,000 acres, and owned by South Australians, who purchased it from the estate of the late Mr. John Hearn. A large amount of clearing has been done, and the property is being developed expeditiously. It lies near the northern boundary of the new [Three Springs] Road Board district. The estate was owned originally by Charles Campbell, who sold it to Michael Brown. Mr. John Hearn was the next to secure it, and ran it until his accidental death in Perth. His widow continued the work. During the occupancy of the Hearns a good deal of cropping was done, partly by share farmers, though the place is largely a grazing proposition. About two years ago Mrs. Hearn sold the property to Mr. Weaver, of South Australia, and this led to the present form of ownership. Lately a good deal of the land has been cleared, and much share farming is being done, the crops being wheat. There is also a large flock of merinos. The property is plentifully watered by dams and wells."
