Notes for Samuel Moore: Perth Gazette and Independent Journal of Politics and News (WA : 1848 - 1864), Friday 6 July 1849, page 2 DEATHS. On Wednesday, the 4th instant, at Perth, SAMUEL MOORE, ESQ., M. L. C. aged 47 years. Inquirer (Perth, WA : 1840 - 1855), Wednesday 11 July 1849, page 2 We regret to announce that, since our last issue, the colony has, by the death of Samuel Moore, Esq., lost another valued member of its community, and one who had partaken of the dangers and privations incident to its formation. As an active and stirring man of business, he was well known to the settlers generally, and by them much esteemed. Mr. S. Moore had suffered for some months past from an affection of the heart, and expired in Perth on Wednesday last, about 3 a.m. His remains were removed on the Friday following to the cemetery of the Middle Swan Church, and there interred. Much disappointment and annoyance was expressed by the numerous friends of the deceased that, owing to some negligence or inattention, the time appointed and given out for the funeral to take place, was anticipated by an hour, and that, in consequence, numbers were deprived of an opportunity of paying the last tribute of respect to the remains of one they had so much esteemed when living. The lamented deceased was a Justice of the Peace for this colony and member of the Legislative Council, and has left a widow with five young children to deplore the loss of a kind and affectionate husband and father. Samuel Moore and Dorothy Mary Jane Dalgety had the following children: 2. i.

Indeed, she was nearly always working fo'help the institutions. He did not think, his Lordship added, that there, was anyone in Perth .whose removal from their niidst would be so much felt by those Institutions. It was not-that she was wealthy, but because she devoted lar time and talents to working and collecting and helping in every possible way. She was, in fact, a solendid example of a kindly, -sympathetio Christian woman. The hymn "Now the labourer's task is o'er" was siung, and after the Benediction "the 'Dead March" was played by Mr:. D'Arcy-Irvine, the Cathedral organist. Kalgoorlie Miner (WA : 1895 - 1954), Tuesday 29 January 1907, page 5 DEATH OF MISS M. E. MOORE. The death on Saturday, at her residence, 'Wanda.'

At a time when the Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest had begun to doubt the wisdom of his resource rich but under-developed colony joining the emerging Commonwealth, Kirwan conspired with Perth Federalists, Walter James and George Leake, to force Forrest’s hand. Editor and part- owner of the influential Kalgoorlie Miner, the ‘pocket-handkerchief’ newspaper he had transformed into one of the most powerful journals in the colony, he waged a virulent press campaign against the besieged Premier, mocking and belittling him at every turn and encouraging his east coast colleagues to follow suit.

This cargo had a value of$1O,934. In 1876, the Wing brothers of New Bedford built another ship, the Fleet­ wing, for Captain Heppingstone and he sailed her the following year out of San Francisco.

Sir Edward Charles (Horne) Wittenoom 1854 - 1936 Liberal-National Party, Legislative Council President of the Legislative Council 1922 - 1926 Early Life Sir Edward Wittenoom was born in Fremantle in 1854 and was the cousin of Edith Cowan on her mother’s side. He was an experienced agriculturalist and he and his brother Frank Wittenoom leased Yuin Station (Yalgoo) in the Murchison district before acquiring the lease of Bowes Station in Northhampton. Sir Edward Horne Wittenoom The brothers subsequently established the Murgoo, Boolardy, Nookawarra, Mileura and Belele stations consisting of a combined two million acres used for farming sheep and cattle. Three of the stations were later sold off to clear rising debt as a result of drought conditions and livestock losses; however, Edward Wittenoom’s brother Frank solely retained Boolardy and Nookawarra stations. At the age of 27, Edward Wittenoom acquired White Peak Station near Geraldton where sheep stud farming and fine wool production became a profitable enterprise. Five years later, Edward Wittenoom, in partnership with his brother Frank, formed a stock and station agency in Geraldton. They expanded the general merchant business and transport agency components of the business to the new township of Day Dawn after the Murchison goldfield was proclaimed.

  • City of Greater Geraldton Municipal Inventory of Heritage Places
    City of Greater Geraldton Municipal Inventory of Heritage Places Document Place No. Details Council Adoption Updated Include volume abbreviation (GN, GR, MW) in N/A 19/08/2019 document INTRODUCTION Heritage is based on those aspects of our past that we want to recognise, retain and pass on to future generations. It encompasses many things – the way we live, the traditions we hold dear, our history and values. Heritage is also reflected in the natural and cultural diversity of places and objects that help us to understand our past and our effect on the Australian landscape. Heritage places may evoke special meaning for us as individuals or as a member of a community. Local Governments, including the City of Greater Geraldton, are responsible for identifying, protecting, promoting and managing the majority of Western Australia’s heritage. The City of Greater Geraldton is home to a rich and diverse range of heritage places which, combined with the beautiful natural environment, reflect the historical development of the region and its people and contribute to a unique sense of place. Section 45 of the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990 requires the local government to compile and maintain an inventory of heritage places in its district which in its opinion are, or may become, of cultural heritage significance. Places are not necessarily buildings, but can be historic sites of former buildings, activities or events as well as built structures such as mines, wells and roads. Entry of a heritage place into the Municipal Inventory is recognition of its importance to the community. Depending on the level of significance afforded to each place listed in the Inventory a management category is allocated which provides a recommendation for the future conservation of the place.

  • Hall, Hooper, Hoover and the Sons of Gwalia
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 14, October 2016 Hall, Hooper, Hoover and the Sons of Gwalia By ALWYN EVANS espite considerable research on the gold communities of Victoria, academic studies of the Welsh elsewhere in Australia are sparse; the Welsh in Western D Australia are particularly unchronicled. Even Welsh-born mine owner, labour leader and politician Alfred Morgans, for a brief period premier of Western Australia, has been neglected.1 Lewis Lloyd comments perceptively on the anonymity of the Welsh in Australia and David Lucas suggests that numbers were obscured by lack of differentiation between English and Welsh nationalities in censuses.2 Numbers of Welsh people in Western Australia at the turn of the century were certainly low; Susan Hart suggests there were only 909 Welsh-born individuals on the 1901 census, the majority being in the gold fields and Colliefields.3 Yet one Welshman, George William Hall, was certainly significant in early Western Australian mining history, and has not received appropriate recognition. This is partly because his early success at the Sons of Gwalia gold mine was eclipsed by later failures at Wiluna, and eventual departure from Australia into obscurity. However, he is also overshadowed by US President, Herbert Clark Hoover, whose later accomplishments, have in the popular view largely usurped Hall’s achievements. Figure 1: George W. Hall c. 1898. This article explores the political importance of Hoover, the first volume of Nash’s biography, Hoover’s own autobiography, observations and press releases, that led to his role in the Sons of Gwalia mine being significantly inflated, with equivalent diminution in Hall’s contribution.
