From The York Peninsular Country Times newspaper:
"Vale Con Bussenschutt. Many resident of North Yorke Peninsula, and readers of the Y. P. Country Times, will be saddened to learn of the passing of Con Bussenschutt of Three Springs, W.A., on Wednesday, 9th June. He was almost 81 years of age. Con moved to Carnamah, W.A., from Paskeville in April, 1928. He was then 27, but in years since he kept in contact with his many friends on the Yorke Peninsula. He often wrote bright newsy letters for publication in the Y. P. Country Times, and these will be missed. When he commenced farming at Carnamah he cropped up to 1,400 acres per year, using two small Fordson Tractors as his power units. He was well known for his bright and enthusiastic manner and friendliness to all, both young and old. Over the years he acquired a wealth of knowledge which was always ready to pass on. He often had visitors to both his home on he farmer at Carnamah, and later when he retired to Three Springs. Many of these visitors were people from South Australia. Reporting his death, the Carnamah paper said that Con was a foundation member of both Carnamah and Three Springs bowling clubs, a strong advocate for the combined North Midlands show, a member of the North Midlands District Hospital Board for 25 years, and a life member of the Royal Agricultural Society. He never missed a Royal Show in Perth. He was also a strong supporter of the Returned Services League, and never missed an Anzac Day Service until this year. Con was also on the Anglican vestry for many years, and supported all the local farming organisations. He is mourned by his wife, Beat, and family."

Early Settlers in the Fertile Midlands - The Splendid Record of the Byrne Family
"Western Australia could do with more families of the type depicted here whose association with the life of the country goes back for nearly 90 years. One of the most versatile and best known of the family is a settler along the Midland line in the person of Mr E. K. Byrne, of Three Springs. Though his birth certificate tells that he was 71 last Tuesday, he is still most youthful in appearance. He was born at Brockhill, Chittering, on April 6, 1866. At the age of eight he was ploughing with a bullock team on Mt Pleasant, North Bindoon; at 14 he was driving a bullock team to and from Perth; at 23 he inspected Wannamal and advised his father to purchase West Point from Walter Padbury. He became the first settler at Wannamal, and assisted by John Essex, of Waddington, he carved out a home there. He married a daughter of Mr and Mrs John Woods, of Mogumber, in the early 90's, and is the father of nine sons and two daughters, all of whom are living. When he first went to Wannamal the nearest railway point was the terminus at Guildford. His maternal grandfather was "Bull" Jones, a Swan River pioneer who built the first camp at Bullsbrook. Mr Byrne, when seen in Perth recently, stated that Bullsbrook was named after "Bull" Jones. His father, Edmund Byrne, arrived in the colony in 1848 as an orphanage boy from London. E. K. Byrne was a foundation member of the Chittering Road Board, and for 14 years was North Ward member. He was made a J.P. in 1904 and did quite a lot of useful work at Gingin as acting coroner. After selling West Point to the late Alec Edgar, of Gingin in 1914, he went up to Three Springs to a property he had bought in 1911. He was a foundation member of the Carnamah-Three Springs Road Board, as well as of the Three Springs Road Board at the time of its separation from Carnamah. He has acquired considerable property in the township. His sons and daughters are all happily settled along the line and in the metropolitan area. One daughter is the wife of Dr Mayrhofer, of Three Springs. Recently E. K. Byrne met with a painful accident, but is now making a good recovery."
From The Irwin Index newspaper, Friday 19 April 1957:
"Three Springs Pioneer's Death. The death occurred in a metropolitan institution on Thursday of last week of a pioneer of Three Springs in the person of Mr. Edmund Keen Byrne at the age of 91 years. The deceased gentleman, whose wife predeceased him some years ago, reared a large family of eleven children comprising of nine sons and two daughters, by seven of whom he is survived. The funeral took place at the Anglican Cemetery at Moora on Friday last."
From The Midlands Advocate newspaper, Thursday 25 April 1957:
"An Old Pioneer Passes - The death of Edmund Keane Byrne severs another link with the Pioneering days of the Midlands. "EK" as he was affectionately known was born 91 years ago at lower Chittering. He was always a public spirited man being a foundation member of the Chittering, Carnamah and Three Springs roads boards and was a member for a short time of the Mingenew roads board thereby taking a keen interest in the progress and development of the Midlands. A Justice of the Peace for 30 years he had the pleasure of being chairman to the late Sir John Forrest at his occasional meetings in the Wannamal district when the Midland Railway was first opened. His passing will be felt deeply by his relatives and friends who can surely find consolation in the fact that he has contributed so much to the welfare of the district in which he lived. At his request his remains were taken back to Moora and buried with his wife who pre-deceased him in 1932."

"Under somewhat sudden circumstances, the death occurred on Sunday last of Mr W. H. Burgess whilst working on his farming property at Arrino. The deceased gentleman, who was sixty years of age, was a native of South Australia and had resided at Arrino for the past twenty four years. He was well known as a particularly good neighbour, being ever ready to assist his fellow man quite irrespective of race, creed or colour, and there are many who will doubtless long remember his many kindly and thoughtful actions. The late Mr Burgess is survived by a widow, one son in Mr W. Burgess (Pithara) and one daughter in Mrs F. Brayley (Bickley). In the presence of quite a representative gathering of residents of Arrino and Three Springs, the funeral of the deceased gentleman took place in the Three Springs Cemetery on Tuesday last, the chief mourners at the graveside being the bereaved widow and his son and daughter. The pall bearers were Messrs H. J. Stacey, V. Ferguson, W. Chapman, J. Payne, C. King and C. E. Maley, and the casket was borne from the hearse to the graveside by Messrs K. Haines, N. McNeil, W. Chapman and J. Ovenden.

From The York Peninsular Country Times newspaper:
"Vale Con Bussenschutt. Many resident of North Yorke Peninsula, and readers of the Y. P. Country Times, will be saddened to learn of the passing of Con Bussenschutt of Three Springs, W.A., on Wednesday, 9th June. He was almost 81 years of age. Con moved to Carnamah, W.A., from Paskeville in April, 1928. He was then 27, but in years since he kept in contact with his many friends on the Yorke Peninsula. He often wrote bright newsy letters for publication in the Y. P. Country Times, and these will be missed. When he commenced farming at Carnamah he cropped up to 1,400 acres per year, using two small Fordson Tractors as his power units. He was well known for his bright and enthusiastic manner and friendliness to all, both young and old. Over the years he acquired a wealth of knowledge which was always ready to pass on. He often had visitors to both his home on he farmer at Carnamah, and later when he retired to Three Springs. Many of these visitors were people from South Australia. Reporting his death, the Carnamah paper said that Con was a foundation member of both Carnamah and Three Springs bowling clubs, a strong advocate for the combined North Midlands show, a member of the North Midlands District Hospital Board for 25 years, and a life member of the Royal Agricultural Society. He never missed a Royal Show in Perth. He was also a strong supporter of the Returned Services League, and never missed an Anzac Day Service until this year. Con was also on the Anglican vestry for many years, and supported all the local farming organisations. He is mourned by his wife, Beat, and family."

From The Sunday Times newspaper, Sunday 11 April 1937:
Early Settlers in the Fertile Midlands - The Splendid Record of the Byrne Family
"Western Australia could do with more families of the type depicted here whose association with the life of the country goes back for nearly 90 years. One of the most versatile and best known of the family is a settler along the Midland line in the person of Mr E. K. Byrne, of Three Springs. Though his birth certificate tells that he was 71 last Tuesday, he is still most youthful in appearance. He was born at Brockhill, Chittering, on April 6, 1866. At the age of eight he was ploughing with a bullock team on Mt Pleasant, North Bindoon; at 14 he was driving a bullock team to and from Perth; at 23 he inspected Wannamal and advised his father to purchase West Point from Walter Padbury. He became the first settler at Wannamal, and assisted by John Essex, of Waddington, he carved out a home there. He married a daughter of Mr and Mrs John Woods, of Mogumber, in the early 90's, and is the father of nine sons and two daughters, all of whom are living. When he first went to Wannamal the nearest railway point was the terminus at Guildford. His maternal grandfather was "Bull" Jones, a Swan River pioneer who built the first camp at Bullsbrook. Mr Byrne, when seen in Perth recently, stated that Bullsbrook was named after "Bull" Jones. His father, Edmund Byrne, arrived in the colony in 1848 as an orphanage boy from London. E. K. Byrne was a foundation member of the Chittering Road Board, and for 14 years was North Ward member. He was made a J.P. in 1904 and did quite a lot of useful work at Gingin as acting coroner. After selling West Point to the late Alec Edgar, of Gingin in 1914, he went up to Three Springs to a property he had bought in 1911. He was a foundation member of the Carnamah-Three Springs Road Board, as well as of the Three Springs Road Board at the time of its separation from Carnamah. He has acquired considerable property in the township. His sons and daughters are all happily settled along the line and in the metropolitan area. One daughter is the wife of Dr Mayrhofer, of Three Springs. Recently E. K. Byrne met with a painful accident, but is now making a good recovery."
From The Irwin Index newspaper, Friday 19 April 1957:
"Three Springs Pioneer's Death. The death occurred in a metropolitan institution on Thursday of last week of a pioneer of Three Springs in the person of Mr. Edmund Keen Byrne at the age of 91 years. The deceased gentleman, whose wife predeceased him some years ago, reared a large family of eleven children comprising of nine sons and two daughters, by seven of whom he is survived. The funeral took place at the Anglican Cemetery at Moora on Friday last."
From The Midlands Advocate newspaper, Thursday 25 April 1957:
"An Old Pioneer Passes - The death of Edmund Keane Byrne severs another link with the Pioneering days of the Midlands. "EK" as he was affectionately known was born 91 years ago at lower Chittering. He was always a public spirited man being a foundation member of the Chittering, Carnamah and Three Springs roads boards and was a member for a short time of the Mingenew roads board thereby taking a keen interest in the progress and development of the Midlands. A Justice of the Peace for 30 years he had the pleasure of being chairman to the late Sir John Forrest at his occasional meetings in the Wannamal district when the Midland Railway was first opened. His passing will be felt deeply by his relatives and friends who can surely find consolation in the fact that he has contributed so much to the welfare of the district in which he lived. At his request his remains were taken back to Moora and buried with his wife who pre-deceased him in 1932."
