From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 26 December 1929:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Mingenew - Cereal and Pastoral Wealth - People and Properties
"A native of Twickenham (England), Mr. R. A. Caldow, the owner of Glencairn, a rich pastoral property of 1,000 acres, has been in the Three Springs district for 20 years. When he arrived 200 acres was considered a demesne. Glencairn carried one and a half sheep to the acre all the year round. Trefoil is the mainstay, but wild oats and canary grass are valuable. Mr. Caldow has 150 Wanganella ewes mated with Cranmore Park Wanganella rams. He carries 1,600 sheep, and at last shearing the grown sheep averaged 10lb. of wool. At the local show this year he took three first prizes in the sheep section. A fervent believer in top dressing, he applied about 90lb. to the acre every third year, but is considering 56lb. every year. Glencairn is well watered from surface catchments. Mr. Caldow has been the chairman of the hospital maintenance committee for seven years. Before the erection of the present modern building, a cottage, generously loaned by the late Mr. C. C. Maley, M.L.A., was used as a hospital."

From The Western Mail newspaper, Thursday 26 December 1929:
Country Towns and Districts - Three Springs and Mingenew - Cereal and Pastoral Wealth - People and Properties
"Mr. R. Carter, another of the district's earliest pioneers, has an intimate knowledge of Australia. Besides being one of the first to arrive in Three Springs - his arrival was on St. Patrick's Day in 1906 - he was also one of the pioneers of Coff's Harbour, in the fertile northern rivers country of New South Wales. Mr. Carter took up 313 acres in Three Springs in 1906, and subsequently acquired two other properties. He spends some of his time in Perth nowadays, making periodical visits to Three Springs. His son, H. R. Carter, holds a half-interest in the farms, and also has his own block. Mr. Carter and his son have a reputation for very sound farming method, and this is exemplified by the fact that this season they expect to obtain a 10-bag average over 220 acres."

From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 23 May 1931:
Obituary - Death of Mrs. P. Lynch - Regret in North Midlands. A wide circle of friends throughout the North Midlands experienced a feeling of deep regret when it became known that Mrs. Annie Lynch, wife of Senator P. J. Lynch, of Three Springs, had passed away at her home in North Perth on Monday last, at the age of 59 years. In addition to her husband she leaves a son and two daughters to mourn their loss. For some month prior to her death the late Mrs. Lynch had been in indifferent health. She was an extremely popular lady in the North Midlands, and in good health was to be seen at nearly every public function at Three Springs. The late Mrs. Lynch came to Australia about 40 years ago and lived in New South Wales for about eight years. She afterwards came to Western Australia and in 1903 married Senator Lynch. At that time Mr. and Mrs. Lynch lived on the goldfields, the Senator then being a member of the Boulder Municipal Council. Later they engaged at farming at Three Springs. The funeral took place on Tuesday last in the Roman Catholic portion of the Karrakatta Cemetery."
