[Supposed to be in W.J. Morrow Index, cannot find!] ____ Geelong Advertiser, 19 Nov 1873 Mr. Walters, of the Barrabool Hills, who has just returned from a visit to the Wimmera district, relates that a very large tract of country has been taken up in that part of the colony by selectors. Most of these hail from South Australia, where the land is generally of inferior quality, and rapidly getting worked out. Not a few are farmers from Mount Gambier, where the soil originally of first-class quality, has also been thoroughly impoverished by continuous cropping. He states that a large area of new soil has been turned up this season and placed under wheat, which is at present, as a rule, looking most promising. The soil is generally a blueish clay, mixed with sand and well adapted for wheat growing. Timber is plentiful and fencing cheap. A large amount of dummying is carried on, the selectors finding that the limit allowed of half a section, or 320 acres, is altogether inadequate to enable them to combine grazing with agriculture and make their holdings renumerative in the face of the disadvantage from which they suffer in consequence of their distance from market and the seaboard. ____ Geelong Advertiser, 4 May 1874 LAND SELECTING IN THE WIMMERA DISTRICT A well known farmer from the Barrabool Hills who has just returned from a visit to the Wimmera District, gives a very interesting account of the way in which settlement is progressing in that neighborhood. He states that the town of Horsham is the centre of the new territory, from whence the homes of the selectors radiate in every direction for distances of 15 to 20 miles. The town itself is progressing rapidly. Buildings are going up in every direction, and there is a great scarcity of tradesmen, particularly bricklayers, who he believes, would be able to earn as much as 20s. per day. The buildings already constructed and in process of erection are of timber, brick and stone, the former largely predominating. The town is situated on the banks of the Wimmera river, where good clay is obtained in abundance for brickmaking. A hard, white freestone, suitable for building, is obtained from the Mackenzie Creek, a short distance away. As a proof of the way in which the value of property is improving, it is stated that recently an offer was made on behalf of the Bank of Victoria of Â£2000, for an allotment which two years ago was offered for sale at Â£100. On the Natimuk Creek, about twenty miles distant, a new township has just been surveyed. In this locality the population is a mixed one, but the Teutonic race preponderates. Most of them hail from the sister colony of South Australia, and every week there are fresh arrivals, principally from Mount Gambier, where the farms are getting worked out. The German residents, as a rule, content themselves with areas of 50 to 100 acres, which they are now busily engaged cultivating and otherwise improving. As a sign of what they are doing, our informant states that a few days ago a tea meeting was held to celebrate the opening of a new church which they had constructed at a cost of Â£220. Of this amount Â£150 was contributed by the time the structure was finished. Two hundred persons sat down to tea, and Mr. J. Smale [sic] - a gentleman well known in Geelong- presided, and delivered an address which was well received. The minister of the church gave an address in German. The Rev. J. Hilliard, of the Wesleyan denomination; Rev. J. Warren of the Bible Christian Society at Camperdown; and Mr. Clarke, J.P., of Horsham, took part in the proceedings. In this very neighborhood, which is becoming so well populated as the meeting indicates, only about eighteen months ago a person might ride for a whole day without encountering house or resident. The country around consists of extensive plains intersected with what are termed blind creeks, that contain an abundance of water in winter but get dried up in the course of a dry summer. There are belts of timber, principally a kind of box, which splits readily and is well adapted for fencing. Bull-oak, which grows as straight as a rush, is employed to construct very neat and comfortable cottages. During the past season a large quantity of wheat has been grown. The quality is excellent, and at present it realises 4s. 6d. per bushel in the local market. There is an abundance of fine wiry grass admirably adapted for thatching and the roofs of some of the residences are finished in such a style as to give the whole building a decidedly pretty as well as comfortable appearance. The country is what is known as "Crab-hole Plains." In winter, and even till an advanced period in summer, the holes are filled with water. The higher ridges are composed of a vegetable mould, which mixed with the lighter subsoil makes a compound sufficiently fertile for the cultivation of cereals or English grasses. A remarkable feature at present is the absence of grass at the tops of the hillocks, where the soil seems peculiarly rich, while the basins are covered with herbage. As a rule grazing and agriculture is being combined. Where the quality of the land is tolerably good half sections of 320 acres have been taken up; where the land is inferior the members of families have clubbed together and erected ring fences around more extensive areas, which are intended simply to be used for grazing purposes. The soil is susceptible of being greatly improved by drainage, the subsoil is impervious or nearly so, and by constructing dams of moderate size the settlers are able to secure a permanent supply of water. Just now those who have got their land under tillage are busily engaged sowing wheat. It is important to get the seed in the ground as early as possible before the winter rain sets in. A ploughing match is at present on the tapis. It is to come off on the 28th. inst. at Natimuk, and Â£50 has already been collected for prizes. Among the intending competitors are some of the champion ploughmen of the Barrabool Hills - Treadwell, Macurdie and others. Some of the best ploughmakers of Melbourne and Geelong have signified their intention of introducing their implements, which, it is believed will, when once witnessed and tried, supersede the oldfashioned ploughs now in use. ____ Geelong Advertiser, 22 Jan 1877 THE WIMMERA DISTRICT We take the following from the second of the papers on the subject, contributed to the Australasian by its travelling reporter:- "A short distance to the eastward of St. Mary's Lake homestead is one of the best farms around Tooan, belonging to Messrs J.T.C. Heard and Brothers, who hail from the Barrabool Hills, and have established themselves on their selections for three years. This season they have had 100 acres under wheat, which has done better than the previous crop, which gave a return of 25 bushels to the acre. The present season's crop suffered more from the effects of frost than from the dry weather, but even with that drawback it was second to no other in the Wimmera District, and is expected to yield over 30 bushels per acre. About six acres were sown with Cape barley, which has also done very well, and a small quantity of the English was also tried, with very fair results. A small crop of potatoes looks promising, but is scarcely equal to the previous one, when the return was about six tons to the acre. Maize is being grown upon a small scale as an experiment, and if it succeeds, as it promises to do at present, its cultivation will be extended. The farm is well fenced and subdivided into convenient-sized paddocks, and it is the intention of the Messrs Heard to sow down several of them with English grasses during the coming season. About 1000 sheep are kept at present, merino ewes and Lincoln rams, the latter being of a rather superior quality from the flock of the Hon. T. Bromell. The Messrs Heard are paying some attention to the breeding of horses, and are the owners of Young Colonel, a powerful, handsome, dark chestnut, three-year-old, heavy draught stallion, by Ploughboy (imported), bred by Mr. J. Baker, of Larpent, Colac. Among the other animals the most noticeable are two fine mares by the Marquis of Lorne and Young Thumper, a pair of handsome well-matched buggy ponies by Dr. Lardner, and a promising blood yearling filly by Alarm out of a Sotterly mare. The Messrs Heard are fully alive to the advantages of using labour-saving implements, and having last season used one of T. Robinson & Co.'s gang ploughs with great success, they were induced this harvest to try a side-delivery reaper, made by that firm, which has given great satisfaction. They are also the owners of a very compact threshing plant, which travels the district during the season. To the south and eastward of Heard's farm, nearly all the available land has been selected during the last three years, in many cases by families, who have secured contiguous blocks, and work them together. Taking a course nearly due east from Heard's farm, I travel for several miles through rather poor country, the greater part moderately timbered, coming across an isolated selection occasionally. There is nothing along this route calling for special comment until the farm of Mr. A.W. Walters is reached, about six miles south of Natimuk. Mr. Walters, who is the President of the Wimmera Shire, was formerly farming at the Barrabool Hills, and has been located four years in the Wimmera district. The various members of his family hold about 2000 acres, the greater portion being heavily-timbered land, and the soil for the most part a sandy loam. But a comparatively small area is under cultivation for grain crops, it being Mr. Walters' intention to devote his energies chiefly to the breeding of live stock. Experiments are being made with various grasses and other forage plants, in order to ascertain which are the kinds adapted for the climate, as it is intended to improve the pasture as much as possible. So far, rib grass and cocksfoot have done better than any other grasses, the plants stooling out well, and covering the ground, while the rye grass grows too thin. Lucerne has been tried, but it has not done so well as expected, though it will probably do better as the plants get older. A large plot of maize has been sown for cutting green, and it has done so well that Mr. Walters intends to try to get a crop to ripen next season. There are about 1800 sheep, merinos, which are considered to be better adapted to the locality than any other class. Superior rams are used, from the well-known flock of Mr. Dennis, of Carr's Plains. The property is subdivided by good substantial fences into several paddocks, and a great deal of labour has been expended in clearing the land of dead timber. Each paddock is provided with a dam or water-hole, and as the sub-soil is very retentive, they are expected to hold at least 12 months' supply. This season, however, has been too dry for them to get filled, and as a consequence the supply of water is rather short." ____ Geelong Advertiser, Advertisement, 14 Jan 1879 BY DENNYS, LASCELLES & CO. FRIDAY, 31st. JANUARY VALUABLE FARM ON THE BARRABOOL HILLS DENNYS, LASCELLES & CO. (under instructions from Mr. A.W. Walters) will offer for sale by auction, at their warehouse, on the above date, at 12 o'clock, His valuable farm, now in the occupation of Mr. T. Smale, situated three miles from Ceres and nine miles from Geelong. The area of land is 285 acres, 0 rods and 0 perches. Solenoidly improved. The buildings are all most substantially built of stone, with slate roofs, and comprise eight-roomed house, 12-stalled stable, barn, etc. There is an orchard of two acres, stocked with the choicest fruit trees. The land is fenced with post, rail and wire, and subdivided into eight paddocks, each being abundantly watered by a never-failing creek running through the centre of the property, besides tanks and springs. 185 acres is laid down in English grass, the remainder being under cultivation. It is needless to call the attention of buyers to the character of the soil. It is one of the best farms on the far-famed Barrabool Hills, which speaks for itself. Terms-Half Cash, balance at one and two years, bearing 8 per cent. interest. Title perfect, to be seen at Messrs. W. and J. Higgins, solicitors. Further particulars and letters of inspection on application to the agents. [This 285 acre property is "Stanbury", probably named by AWW after the birthplace (Stanbury near Kilkhampton, CON) of his mother Grace VINSON (1796-1867)] ____ Geelong Advertiser, 1 Feb 1879, Town Talk column An attempt was made yesterday to sell a farm of 285 acres, situated three miles from Ceres, and on the Barrabool Hills, belonging to Mr. A.W. Walters, and at present occupied by Mr. T. Smale. The highest bid was Â£9-10-0 per acre, but the property was withdrawn for Â£10-0-0 per acre. Messrs. Dennys, Lascelles and Co. were the auctioneers. ____ Geelong Advertiser, 10 Mar 1881 Messrs. Dennys, Lascelles & Co. report the sale, for Messrs Skene Bros., of the Heathfield run, in the Portland Bay district, with 640 acres freehold land, with sheep, cattle, and horses, to Mr. A.W.

Known as Basset's farm and owned by John CLINNICK. ____ Geelong and Western District Directory, 1861 Thomas SMALE, committee member, Barrabool Farmers' Association. ____ The Barrabool Shire Council's Jubilee, 1865-1915, compiled by Cr. W. Ham. [RHSV] Proclaimed a shire on 13 Jun 1865. First shire meeting held 26 Jun 1865. Members present include Cr. T. SMALE. Thomas SMALE listed as being a councillor for two years 1865-1867. [Presumably for one term only] ____ Geelong Advertiser, 17 Feb 1870 DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CERES It is with extreme regret that we have to record a most destructive and calamitous fire which occurred at the farm of Mr. T. Smale, J.P., at Ceres, on Tuesday, about 1 p.m. Mr. Smale has had a most bountiful harvest, and had never gathered in more grain, hay, and other agricultural produce than he had this season. He was looking forward to a considerable return this year to make up for the losses sustained in previous bad seasons, but this fire has upset all his hopes, and not being insured at all, he has lost not only all his year's labor and expenditure as well as all expected profits but nearly the whole of what he was possessed of. This is to be the more regretted as the catastrophe is undoubtedly the result of gross carelessness on the part of a man who has been employed by Mr. Smale for some six or seven years, and there can be no accounting for his foolhardy conduct in this affair, as he has hitherto borne a good character, as an excellent farm hand. It appears that Mr. Smale, on Monday, left instructions that the stubble was to be burnt off some of the paddocks if the day were suitable, but at the same time he impressed on the man that if the day should turn out hot, or if a hot wind prevailed, he was not on any account to think of setting fire to any of the stubble. In the face of this the man, whose name is Samuel Berryman, went deliberately after dinner, in the hottest part of the day, with the thermometer standing at over a hundred in the shade, and a regular "brickfielder" blowing, and fired the stubble in a small paddock not far removed from the homestead. The wind was blowing direct from where the stubble was lighted to the homestead and the stack-yard. The fire was no sooner ignited than it spread with lightning-like rapidity across the paddock into one from which rye grass has not long been mowed, and across this with equal rapidity to the hay stacks. In less time than it takes to write it, these were one mass of flames. The unfortunate man seems to have been utterly prostrated at the sight of the damage he had done, and rushed about without attempting to save anything, although he would have had time to liberate over twenty pigs which were confined in the piggery, and to have removed some drays, buggy, and agricultural implements. Unfortunately Mr. Smale was absent at the Mount Moriac Police Court, and Mrs. Smale had left only shortly before the catastrophe, leaving only Berryman and the servant girl on the premises. The neighbours however rushed to the scene, and bursting into the house succeed in rescuing a chest of drawers and a seer taire containing Mr. Smale's papers and documents. With the exception of a few minor articles of furniture, this was all that was saved out of a smiling homestead which half an hour previously had been surrounded by the results of a bountiful harvest, and was furnished with every necessary for a large and properly conducted farm. The fire having laid hold of the stacks, almost immediately extended to the barn, the threshing machine shed, the piggeries, and a long row of sheds used for various purposes. The blaze and heat were terrific, melting spare brasses belonging to Mr. Smale's threshing machine as effectually as if they had been reduced in a furnace. The poor pigs were literally roasted alive, and some splendid drays and implements standing in the yard were totally destroyed. The house dog was also burnt to death, being chained up, and all that now remains of him is a charred skeleton. The fowls shared the same fate, but fortunately the entire [sic] horse "Reformer" was released before the fire reached his stable. The heat was so intense that in a very few minutes the fire was communicated to the house, and so rapidly did the work of destruction proceed that the neighbors were only able to rescue the few articles we have mentioned. The property destroyed included 50 tons of magnificent hay, a stack of unthreshed wheat, estimated to contain about 100 bags, another stack of oats, containing about an equal quantity of grain; a small stack of barley, estimated as likely to yield 30 or 40 bags; 60 bags of peas, a stack of rye grass, containing about 100 bushels of seed; three cwt. of butter, twenty-one fine pigs, the barn, stables, piggeries, sheds and dwelling house, waggon, drays, buggy, implements, harness, and the household furniture; the whole valued by Mr. Smale at about Â£1200. The unfortunate gentleman, it appears, has never been in the habit of insuring, and hence his loss is not covered to the value of a penny by insurance policies. The servant girl has also suffered, having lost everything but the clothes she had on at the time. Her wardrobe may appear a slight loss, but to her it is no doubt a very serious one. The greatest sympathy is expressed for Mr. Smale by all his neighbors. He has worked hard for fifteen years on his farm, and had just got it into excellent order when this catastrophe comes and throws him back for years. The farmers around seeing the smoke rode with all haste to the spot, but were only enabled to render very slight service, although they worked with a will. Mr. Smale desires to thank them most heartily for their assistance. The fire and the misfortune of the loser does not seem to have been sufficient to repress the purloining proclivities of some person. In the chest of drawers which were saved there was a considerable sum in gold and notes, the gold consisting of five sovereigns placed in one of the drawers by Mrs. Smale just before she left. Some unprincipled individual undeserving of the name of a man, took advantage of the bustle and excitement to steal three of these. It is stated that the thief is known, and in the interest of justice and all right feeling it is hoped that he will not be allowed to go scatheless. The man Berryman, who was the innocent but blundering cause of this great misfortune to Mr. Smale, has been arrested on a charge of carelessly using fire. He was brought up at the Central police court yesterday and was remanded until Friday. ____ In the next column: CARELESS USE OF FIRE - Samuel Berryman was charged with carelessly using fire at Mr. Smale's farm, Ceres on the previous day. On the application of the police, the prisoner was remanded until Friday for the production of evidence. ____ Geelong Advertiser, 19 Feb 1870, Current Topics column The circumstances connected with the disastrous fire at Mr. Smale's farm, Ceres, as reported by us on Thursday, were elicited at the Central Police Court yesterday, on the hearing of the charge of careless use of fire preferred against Samuel Berryman, the man who caused the conflagration. The evidence showed gross carelessness, and although Mr. Smale pleaded for a lenient sentence, the bench felt called upon to impose a penalty of 10 pounds, or in default, one month's imprisonment, in order that the case may prove a warning to others similarly situated. The unfortunate man appeared in court much burnt about the arms, face, and body, and no doubt his punishment bodily, mentally, and pecuniarily is heavy, but it is to be hoped the case will have its effect in preventing carelessness in future. That some such example is needed, is shown by the fact that an exactly similar case is reported from Whorooly [sic], near Beechworth, where on the same day as this fire at Mr. Smale's occurred, two brothers named McWalters were burnt out, losing all the crops they had just harvested and all their improvements. ____ Geelong Advertiser, 25 May 1883 SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. SMALE, J.P. The residents of this town and district will regret to learn of the very sudden death of Mr. Thomas Smale, J.P., of Edgecombe Farm, Barrabool Hills, which occurred about ten o'clock yesterday morning. The gentleman named proceeded to the Bible Christian Church at Mount Moriac on Wednesday evening, at which place he occupied the chair at a public gathering. During the proceedings he was taken suddenly ill with spasms, and was compelled to retire to the parsonage in connection with the church, and a messenger was despatched to Geelong for Dr. Carstairs. The doctor proceeded to Mount Moriac with all despatch, and prescribed for Mr. Smale. The medicine appeared to give relief to the patient, and the doctor remained with him throughout the night. At seven o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Smale was apparently so far recovered that Dr. Carstairs did not consider that his presence was any longer required, and he left for town. A couple of hours afterwards, Mr. Smale had a second attack to which he succumbed about ten o'clock in the morning. The news of Mr. Smale's death was conveyed to Dr. Carstairs later in the day, but he refused to give a certificate as to the cause of death until the police and the coroner were acquainted with the case. Mr. Heron, the police magistrate, did not consider that it was a case for any magisterial inquiry, and directed the medical gentleman who had seen the deceased to give the relatives a certificate as to the cause of death. The deceased gentleman was a native of North Tamerton, Devon, [sic] England, and died at the age of 60 years. He came to the colony at an early period, and was a resident of the Barrabool Hills district for fully 30 years. As a farmer he was most successful on the old Barrabool Hills, where he held a leading position for many years. In his social life he was extremely well liked, and for a considerable period occupied the position of a member of the Barrabool Shire Council, both at the time the district was under the old road board system, and since the Shires Act came into force. He was a staunch teetotaller, and a leading member of the Bible Christian Church. In all political movements he took a great interest, and he was one of the most energetic agitators for a better system of immigration, which he thought would be of vast benefit to the farmers of the colony. ____ The Will of Thomas SMALE, 1823-1883 This is the last Will and testament of Thomas Smale, Farmer, in the Parish of Barrabool, County of Grant, in the Colony of Victoria - dated this Eighth day of May - One Thousand, Eight Hundred and Eighty.

I also direct that as long as my wife lives, that my estate shall not be sold. But that my Wife may either live in it, or let it as she may think fit. I also direct that my daughter "Mary Ann" shall receive out of my estate, One Hundred Pounds for her own personal use, and that after the death of her Mother she shall have my estate for her own personal use and benefit, and after her death, my estate shall be sold, and be equally divided among her Children.

He was Secretary of the Fremantle district council of the Australian Labor Party and after reading reports of his activities he was well known to John CURTAIN later to be the war time Prime Minister of Australia. Resigned from the Parliament of Western Australia as a result of him pleading guilty to charges of theft in July 1923. Sentenced to 3 years gaol with hard labour and served 14 months before being paroled. Later found to be in Queensland. In 1931 he was charged in Queensland with the theft of sand and gravel, the property of Brisbane City Council. He was convicted and discharged on entering into a bond of £5 to be of good behavior for one month.	BAGLIN Frederick Arthur (I691)

670	Believed to be living in Tasmania. Two adopted children.	JONES Andrew (I11836)
671	Believed to have "run away" to sea. Probably pre-WWII but as Rex was discharged from the Army on 18 Jan 1946 when still a young man, it is possible that it was post WWII. While serving with the 2nd. AIF Rex was convicted of illegal use of a motor car in Geelong on 5 Oct 1940. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 4 weeks imprisonment on 10 Oct 1940. This event probably explains the gap in his Army service during WWII. The Army was very obviously happy to have him back in uniform after a suitable 'cooling off' period. During the gap in his military service the 2/22 Battalion was in very heavy action in New Britain where many members were lost and taken prisoner and some were massacred by their captors.
