- They include as many items as I could find by searching on the names of the suburbs Doncaster (and therefore Doncaster East), Templestowe, Donvale and Bulleen.
- In addition to Family Notices listings (births, engagements, marriages, deaths, funerals, in memoriam notices) I have added items from news and social pages of the newspapers (reports of engagements, weddings, wedding anniversaries, divorces, sudden deaths, inquests, wills & estates).
- Some tips for searching:
- The transcriptions on Trove are meant to be an exact rendition of the newspaper item. Names may have been misspelled in the newspaper or by the transcriber. Try a few alternatives before you give up.
- Note that names beginning with Mc were often shown in the early newspapers beginning with M’ - hence M’Kay, rather than McKay.
- If a marriage or death does not appear in the decade in which you know it should be try later decades.
- Sometimes a later In Memoriam notices appears when there was no original death notice.
- Sometimes a later Wedding Anniversary notice appears when the original wedding was not announced in the press.
- Any notes that I have added to the text are shown thus: [There is a line missing at this point as the paper was creased before it was scanned.]
- [sic] - indicates that the misspelling is what appeared in the original newspaper.
- Where the scan of the newspaper is unclear it will be indicated thus: [?], [??], [189?] or [home?] – the latter being the best guess at what the word may have been.
- If the name of the suburb did not appear in the original newspaper announcement then I am unlikely to have found it.
- Trove is an excellent resource for your family history search. New material is being added there from time to time. I highly recommend that you continue your own search there.

1939 - Accidentally Shot
Ray Hughes, aged 13 years, of Foot street, Templestowe, is in the Children's Hospital as a result of a shooting accident yesterday afternoon.
The police who investigated the accident, learned that Hughes and two companions went on a shooting excursion, one of the boys having an air-rifle, and the other a small-bore rifle.
Hughes was jumping over a fence when the rifle was accidentally discharged. He was treated by a district doctor before being taken to hospital.

The Courier-Mail, Brisbane, Tuesday 12 September 1939 Memories of Drought, War, and Floods
STORIES of long ago, when experiencing the ravages of drought, and later of flood, on both of which occasions they lost everything they had, are told by 84-year-old Mrs. S. J. Thrupp of Broadmarsh, Surat, who is at present in Brisbane.
Mrs. Thrupp drove the 300 miles from her home to Brisbane by car, and has just returned from a long holiday in Victoria, where she visited her old home at Sutton Grange, to which she went as a bride.
Born in the North of Ireland, Mrs. Thrupp came to Australia at the age of six, and lived in Victoria until she came to Queensland 56 years ago. She settled in the Surat district and has lived there ever since. Recalling memories of drought, Mrs. Thrupp told of how, when all fodder failed, wearing men's attire, she rode with them to cut prickly pear for the cows.
During the 1890 flood she awoke to find the water in her room level with the bed, so a ladder was hastily put up, and a boat rowed into the room to transfer her to a safer place. Her husband, who was away buying sheep, was forced to take refuge in a tree, where he stayed for a week, living on a pumpkin which happened to float by, and from which he scraped his daily rations. All his sheep were lost.
Many Interests
Memories of work done for the Red Cross during the last war are recalled by this wonderful old lady, who was then visiting Redcliffe.
Now Mrs. Thrupp's interests are centred in her district branch of the Country Women's Association, of which she has been a member since its inception. She does a great deal of work for charity, having made five Afghan quilts, one of which realised £25 for the C.W.A. Although she has lost the use of one eye, she still does a lot of fine needle- work, and is able to thread the finest needle.
A love of young people has led her to take an interest in the school children in her district, whom she has accompanied as far as Roma for tennis matches. Each year she gives them a fancy dress dance in the Shire Hall when as many as 100 children attend. Mrs. Thrupp's latest interest is her great-grandson, born on August 13 to Mr. and Mrs. William Denhert, of Grosvenor Downs (Surat). This month-old baby can claim the distinction of having four great grandparents, three grandparents, and a great-great-uncle, Mr. Reginald Denhert, of Doncaster (Victoria), who is 102 years of age.
With her daughter, Mrs. R. C. Denhert, and her grand-daughter, Mrs. A. Vinecombe, of Ballan (Victoria), Mrs. Thrupp will return to Surat during the week.

Women's News Interests - Weds in White Satin - Broussard-Bott
The Baptist Church, Deloraine, was the scene of a very pretty wedding, when Dorothy, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter H. Bott, Caveside, was married to Mr. Frank Broussard, of Doncaster, Victoria. Rev. R. W. Dobbinson, of Launceston, was the minister.
The bride, who entered the church on the arm of her father, by whom she was given away, wore a white satin gown, with shirred bodice, and the skirt was cut to a train. The beautifully embroidered tulle veil was held in place by a spray of orange blossom. Her shoes were white, and she carried a shower bouquet of freesias, erica, and spring bulbs.
Miss Joy Bott, sister of the bride, was gowned in a pale blue satin frock, worn ankle length; with white hat trimmed to tone. She carried a posy of grape hyacinths, freesias, and erica. Little Beryl Marshall, of Devonport, cousin of the bride, was cushion bearer, and she looked dainty in her pale pink ankle-length silk frock, and floral circlet round her head.
The bridegroom was attended by Mr. Arthur Rosendal, of Echuca, Victoria, as best man.
After the ceremony the bridal party, relatives, and friends motored back to the bride's home, where wedding breakfast was served. The chief feature of the prettily-decorated tables was the three-tier wedding cake, made by Mrs. George Bott, sister-in-law of the bride.
Wearing a black gown relieved by white, the bride's mother received her guests. The usual toasts were honoured. Many congratulatory telegrams and messages were received. The gifts were numerous.
Mr. and Mrs. Broussard later left for Victoria, travelling by car to Devonport. The bride travelled in a navy costume, wearing a blue hat, relieved by burgundy, and had accessories to tone.
The future home of Mr. and Mrs. Broussard will be at Doncaster, Victoria.

Married 70 Years
Mr. and Mrs. Chivers, of Templestowe, were the guests of honour last night at a social gathering given by the residents of Templestowe in honour of the 70th anniversary of their marriage.
They were the first couple to be married in the old stone Church of England at Doncaster. They had a family of 13 children - three daughters and 10 sons. Two died in infancy and one was killed in the Great War.
Mrs. Chivers was born at [?], December 18, 1852, and came to Australia in 1853, when she lived at Doncaster.

In Other Cities - Melbourne Gossip From Our Special Correspondent - MELBOURNE, February 25. - 70th Wedding Anniversary
It is not given to every man and wife to have the happiness of celebrating their 70th wedding anniversary, but such is the good fortune of Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Chivers, of Templestowe, who had their celebration on Friday.
Mr. Chivers is in his 96th year, and his wife is in her 89th. About 190 relatives, including most of their 10 children, 51 grandchildren and 35 great-grand-children, attended a party on Saturday night, and today Mr. and Mrs. Chivers left for a holiday at the seaside.
Mr. Chivers's father came to Australia in 1840. In 1851 he went to an auction, at which 156 acres of land at Templestowe were knocked down to him at £1 an acre. When he died the land was divided among his four sons, and Mr. Chivers's share has since been divided among his sons. When the family settled at Templestowe the bush was so dense that it took a day to blaze a track to the Yarra, a mile away. When Mr. Chivers was 10 his father decided that he must be christened. The family set out in style by bullock dray to the ceremony, which took place in a bark hut near Doncaster.
It took a whole day in those days to get a load of timber to Melbourne. Bullocks were the only draught animals which could withstand the rigors of travelling, and hay for them might cost as much as £30 or £40 a ton. Freight to Bendigo was consequently £200 a ton.
Mr. Chivers met his wife at a church tea meeting at Doncaster. She was nearly eight years his junior, and he confesses that he has never been able to catch up a second on her.

The cause of the accident is not known but the plane was seen in a vertical dive about 200 feet from the ground.
After the crash the motor was found buried two feet in the ground and the tail was the only part of the machine left intact. Both cockpits were telescoped, and the two men must have been killed instantly.
The machine was engaged on a training flight in the aerobatic area near the flying field, and took off at 8.5 a.m. The crash was reported to the R.A.A.F. station by 'phone at 8.30 a.m.

OBITUARY - MR. C. A. VARY
A fitting tribute was paid to the memory of Mr. Charles Albert Vary, aged 65, who died at his home, "Balmoral Estate," Upper Duck Creek, Old Bonalbo, on Saturday afternoon, after an illness of 18 months. At his funeral at Old Bonalbo on Sunday afternoon every section of the area from Mallanganee to the Queensland border was represented, over 200 people attending. The late Mr. Vary was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Wesley Vary, of Morwell, Victoria. They were among the most widely known and respected families in that district. Mr. Vary, senr., held many responsible executive positions, both in the town and surrounding shires at Morwell.
Mr. Charles Vary was born at Merton Rush Estate, Morwell, and was associated with the estate's grazing activities until his marriage to Miss Mary Ellen Brady, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Frederick Brady, of Liverpool, England. Mr. Vary was married at the age of 24 at Christchurch, Victoria, and went to Poolarra, Gippsland, for six years. In 1906 the family came to the Richmond and settled at Cedar Point, near Kyogle. Two years later Mr. Vary himself went to Upper Duck Creek, selecting an extensive holding and eventually cleared sufficient space among the densely timbered country for a home. Later the family joined him. He lived on the property, widely known as "Balmoral Estate," until his death. He was among the first settlers in that area who overcame the many difficulties of the early pioneers.
The late Mr. Vary was a J.P. During the whole of his residence near Old Bonalbo he had been associated with everything that meant the advancement of the district. He was president of the Duck Creek Progress Association since its inception He was a man of very sound judgment, and his advice was sought by many. In his early days, Mr. Vary was a versatile athlete, being a successful foot-runner and cyclist.
In an address at the Old Bonalbo Hall, the Rev. J. V. Robinson spoke of deceased's many outstanding qualifications, and said that the district had lost one of Nature's gentlemen. Many people were unable to gain admission to the service and 6o cars followed the hearse to the cemetery. Many wreaths were received. The pall-bearers were Messrs. Herbert Vary (son), Arthur Vary (brother), S. Hooton, E. Clarke (sons-in-law), A. Frazer and W. Wade. The widow and family of three children survive. They are Mesdames S. G. Hooton (Tabulam) and E. B. Clarke (Old Bonalbo), and Mr. Chas. Herbert Vary (Tabulam). Brothers and sisters of the deceased are Messrs. Arthur (Queensland), Frank (Tooloom), Llewellyn and Hugh Vary (Morwell, Vic.); and Mesdames N. Grant (Gippsland), R. R. Hobbs (Doncaster, Vic.) and Miss Vary (Driffield, Vic.). Trevor D. Bevan had charge of the funeral arrangements.

Having been a farmer all his life, there have been many changes of methods which he can recall. For his age he still enjoys exceptionally good health, and is able to read without glasses.
Educated at Horton College, Ross, Mr. French has always been a keen student, and still follows very closely all current topics.
In April, 1887, Mr. French married Annie E. Briggs, The Grange, Scottsdale, and a few years later moved to Spring Farm, Hagley, where he successfully farmed for 40 years. Of his family Mr. Edgar R. French resides at Silbourne, Mrs. A. Richardson at Bracknell, Mrs. F. Richardson at Green Rises, Cressy; Mrs. E. Pearn at Romarnie, Deniliquin, New South Wales; and Mr. Cyril H. French at Spring Farm, Hagley. Another son, Vivian, fell at the landing at Gallipoli.
In August, 1924, Mrs. French died, and a few years later Mr. French left Spring Farm and retired to Strath Bridge to reside. Later he married Martha R. Chenery, of Glengarry.
Mr. Franch has always taken an active part in anything for the welfare of the district, has a record of 57 years as a local preacher of the Methodist Church. He has also been a circuit steward and trustee for many years, being a fluent speaker and a keen student of the Bible. Mr. French has been a member of the Westbury council for several years. Interested in many sports, he has been a good shot and a very ardent fisherman, a pastime in which he still participates.
To celebrate his 80th birthday Mr. and Mrs. French entertained the family, grandchildren, and friends to tea at their home on Tuesday last. Congratulations were conveyed to Mr. French by Rev. F. F. Byatt, who presided, and Messrs. G. R. Badcock and Victor Richardson. On a two-decker birthday cake, made by Mrs. French and decorated by Gwen Richardson, there were 80 candles. Mr. French received many telegrams and letters, and also verbal congratulations at the official opening of the new flax mills at Hagley. Four generations of the family were present at the birthday gathering.

Boy And Girl Drowned In Creek
After a vain attempt to rescue Robert Clarke, 2½, of Templestowe, who had slipped into the water while playing near Russy's Creek, half a mile from Yarra River, at Templestowe, yesterday afternoon. Beryl Svanborg, who was 7 yesterday, died in a respirator at Austin Hospital 5 hours later.
After jumping into the creek to go to the little boy's help, the girl was seen to be in difficulties. Alan Adams, 5, also of Templestowe, who had been playing with the 2 children, ran to his home and told his mother what had happened. Mrs Linda Adams went to the creek and saw the boy floating in the water, but he was out of her reach. With the aid of a man who had been called a chain was formed and the boy was taken from the water. Later Mr Joseph Svanborg, father of the girl, dived in and found his daughter on the bed of the creek in 8ft. of water. Mrs Adams and her mother Mrs Alice Adams, attempted to revive the boy and girl, and ambulance officers worked for an hour without avail. The victims were placed in respirators at Austin Hospital, but at 10pm it was announced that they were dead. The boy's father recently joined the AIF.

Killed In Action
Word was officially received on Tuesday that Pte. Francis James ("Jim") Culhane had been killed. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Culhane, of Downey Street, Alexandra, to whom the deepest sympathy is expressed from the whole of the Shire.
The late Pte. Culhane was born at Alexandra, and went to the Alexandra State School. On leaving school he served his apprenticeship as a baker and pastrycook at Mornington. He worked in Ringwood and Doncaster districts for some time. He enlisted in the A.I.F., and saw service in the Middle East and returned to Australia with the Ninth Division. Afterwards he went to the New Guinea area, where he was killed.
To all who knew "Jim," he was a good citizen - upright in principle always. Of a kind disposition and likeable nature, he gained many friends. He was an excellent son to his parents. The war came and he, with his six brothers - Jack, Leo, Gavan, Fred, Bernie, Louis - answered the country's call. A brother-in-law (Pte. Frank Quinsee) is attached to the same unit as "Jim" was. They had been together in the Middle East and New Guinea.
Flags were flown at half mast at the Shire Hall and the R.S.L. Club Room on Tuesday afternoon in honor of a gallant soldier - Pte. F. J. ("Jim") Culhane.

Woman's Death Investigated - Barium Carbonate Instead Of Barium Sulphate - MELBOURNE, December 9.
All chemists are to be asked by the Pharmacy Board, through an official journal, to check their stocks of barium sulphate and barium carbonate. This was stated at an inquest held today into the death of Miss Elsie Isabel Grass, 34, of East Doncaster on October 30. Recording an open finding the Coroner (Mr. Tingate) said that the woman had died from the effect of a poison known as barium carbonate, administered instead of barium sulphate, but the evidence had not shown whether death had been accidental or otherwise. Evidence was given that Miss Grass had a doctor's prescription for barium sulphate to be taken before X-ray. A qualified chemist had supplied to Miss Grass a prescription which he had checked with another chemist. The president of the Pharmacy Board (Mr. H. A. Braithwaite) said that he thought the error had occurred in some wholesale house by supplying barium carbonate instead of barium sulphate. The error would be isolated and the lag of five years had made it difficult to trace.
The Sydney Morning Herald, Friday 10 December 1943 Check by Chemists Sequel to Death
MELBOURNE. Thursday. - All chemists will be asked by the Pharmacy Board to check their stocks of barium sulphate and barium carbonate, it was stated at an inquest to-day into the death of Miss Elsie Isabel Grass, 34, of East Doncaster.
Recording an open finding, the Coroner, Mr. Tingate, said the women had died from a poison known as barium carbonate administered instead of barium sulphate.
Evidence was given that Miss Grass had a prescription for barium sulphate, and that John Maxwell Phipps, qualified chemist, had supplied to Miss Grass a prescription which he had checked with another chemist. The president of the Pharmacy Board, Mr. H. A. Braithwaite, said he thought the error had occurred in some wholesale house, which had supplied barium carbonate instead of barium sulphate.
The Argus, Melbourne, Friday 10 December 1943 Chemists to Check Stocks of Barium
Sequel to Woman's Death
All chemists are to be asked by the Pharmacy Board, through an official journal, to check their stocks of barium sulphate and barium carbonate.
This was stated at an inquest held yesterday by Mr Tingate, city coroner, into the death of Miss Elsie Isabel Grass, 34, of Blackburn rd, East Doncaster, on October 30. Recording an open finding, Mr Tingate said the woman had died from effect of a poison known as barium carbonate, administered instead of barium sulphate, but evidence had not been shown whether death had been accidental or otherwise.
Evidence was given that Miss Grass had a doctor's prescription for barium sulphate to be taken before X-ray. John Maxwell Phipps, qualified chemist, of Nicholson st, Fitzroy, had supplied to Miss Grass a prescription which he had checked with a Box Hill chemist.
Phipps said that on October 28, he supplied Miss Grass with 2oz of barium sulphate from a stock bottle. His stock had been obtained about 5 years previously, but he could not say from which one of 4 wholesale houses he had obtained it. Requests for the sulphate were rare; his last prescription from the same stock was in 1938. Barium sulphate and barium carbonate were white powders, and not distinguishable from each other. He did not stock barium carbonate, which was a poison.
Charles Anthony Taylor, Government analyst, said the bottle from which Phipps had dispensed Miss Grass's prescription contained carbonate and not sulphate as marked on it. It would have been possible in wartime conditions for a wholesale house to have supplied carbonate instead of sulphate.
Mr Tíngate said that he was very concerned, not only at what had happened to cause the death of Miss Grass, but whether Phipps's stock bottle had been filled from a wholesaler's packet, and that similar packets might have been supplied to other chemists.
Sen-det J. T. Perkins said his observation at wholesale houses was that the practice was to supply barium carbonate in packets labelled poison inside and out.
Mr H. A. Braithwaite, Pharmacy Board president, said he thought the error had occurred in some wholesale house by supplying barium carbonate instead of barium sulphate. The error would be isolated, and the lag of 5 years had made it difficult to trace.

Standard, Frankston, Vic., Thursday 29 August 1946 Frankston's Oldest Resident
Mrs. E. Duncan 95 On Saturday
Frankston's oldest living resident, Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan, of High Street, will celebrate her 95th birthday at her home on Sunday next, September 1, when she will proudly cut her birthday cake at a family party to be given in her honor by her three sons and one daughter, survivors of a family of ten children.
Two sons and Miss Blanche Duncan (who resides with her mother) will attend in person, the third son (in Queensland) will forward happy thoughts, and be present in spirit.
When the "Standard" representative and photographer called to see Mrs. Duncan, just before this issue went to press, they found a really remarkable and grand old lady, hale and hearty, merry and bright, and possessed of an amazing memory.
Brought Own House
In the year 1852, Elizabeth Burton, (Mrs. Duncan), then an only child, and three months old, left Edmonton (England) with her parents, and sailed for Australia, on a windjammer. The journey took six months, thus she was nine months old on arrival in Australia. Apparently the present modern age was not the only period of housing shortage in Australia. For Mrs. Duncan's father actually brought his own six-roomed house all the way from England on the windjammer, only to find it impossible to land the building on arrival at what is now Port Melbourne. There was no pier or landing stage of any kind and no boats. The women and children were carried ashore through deep water. The men rolled up their trousers and waded ashore. The house had to remain aboard the windjammer, and re-
turned with it to England. Tent in Collins Street
Mrs. Duncan recalled that her first Australian home was a tent pitched in Collins Street east, on the site of the present noted professional quarters. Here the second child, a sister, was born. She regards as the greatest scare of her life-time, the day when in the absence of her parents she was left to mind the baby sister. A party of blacks came and picked up the baby, held her up for curious inspection, and danced around her, outside the tent. But they returned her unharmed after some minutes.
Famous Landmarks
Mrs. Duncan's father secured a position as manager of Cremorne Gardens, now the site of Rosella Preserving Co. After three years he established his own market garden at the Victoria Bridge crossing (Richmond) near where Melbourne High School now stands. Two years later he moved to lease a market garden on the present Abbotsford Convent site.
A Famous Herbalist
After five years had passed her father purchased a property on Darebin Creek, Preston, where he began the growing of medicinal herbs. A gifted herbalist, he established an extensive practice at Ivanhoe, and became renowned throughout the Commonwealth for wonderful herbal cures. No doubt there are old-time Victorians today who remember "Burton's Herbs." He eventually died at Ivanhoe.
Music and Needlework
Having learned music in Melbourne, Mrs. Duncan (Elizabeth Burton), while at Preston, established herself as a music teacher, a profession she continued for many years, including several years at Frankston. She was noted for outstanding needlework.
Mrs. Duncan was married at Preston by the Rev. Duncan Fraser, and went to live at Bulleen (now East Kew) where her husband and his brother conducted Duncan's cheese-factory, a prominent cheese brand of those early days.
Mrs. Duncan also lived at Ivanhoe and Berwick, where her father was once manager of a dairy property for Mr. Gibbs, Member of Parliament, and later, still at Berwick, works manager of Wilson's Stone Quarries. She returned to live at Ivanhoe, where, in 1918, her husband died.
Coming to Frankston with her daughter, Blanche, in 1921, Mrs. Duncan lived first in Davey Street, Later, her present home was built for her by her son.
Doesn't Like Sea
Mrs. Duncan, who has seen the steady progress of Frankston, over the past quarter-century, is most impressed by the remarkable growth of the shopping centre. Although she has enjoyed living in Frankston, and made many lasting friendships, the sea has never appealed to her, and the only time she has been in any kind of boat was during her voyage out on the windjammer.
Shocked By Modern Youth
Mrs. Duncan said her candid opinion of the conduct of the average rising generation, as compared
with the young people of her day, might be too hot for present day newsprint to withstand, but she was shocked by the excessive drinking by male and female youths at everyday parties and entertainments, and was particularly appalled at the wicked and increasing desecration of the Sabbath.
A Good Church Worker
During her residence in Frankston she has been an ardent worker of the Presbyterian Church, and one of the founders of that Church, here.
Grandfather Served Royalty
Mrs. Duncan proudly relates that her mother's parents lived opposite Buckingham Palace. Her grandfather was upholsterer to the Royal family, had gold crowns on all his business carts..
Old Chum 97
Only one of Mrs. Duncan's old friends survives her and this is her best girlhood chum, Mrs. Baynes, 97 years, living in Darebin Street, Heidelberg. Mrs. Duncan has enjoyed splendid health all her lifetime.
"Laughs Up Sleeve" At Quiz Kids
The "Standard" representative was astounded at the intelligence and wide general knowledge displayed by Mrs. Duncan. With a twinkle in her eye she informed the writer that she often has a "good laugh up her sleeve" at the simple questions the Quiz Kids and other radio competitor's fail to answer.
Many Happy Returns
So, here's to Frankston's "Grand Old Lady," and her 95th birthday, on 1st September. Happy birthday, Mrs. Duncan ! And may you enjoy many more of them.

Following the publication in last week's "Standard" of an interview with Frankston's oldest resident, Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan, who celebrated her 95th birthday on Sunday, scores of citizens visited her home during the week-end to offer congratulations and best wishes. Mrs. Duncan deeply appreciates the kind personal greetings, many of which came from residents she had not previously met, and she has asked the "Standard" to express to one and all her grateful thanks. Numerous letters and telegrams were also received from near and far, including Queensland.

Frankston's Oldest Resident Passes . .
Mrs. E. Duncan Dies at 96
Frankston has lost its oldest resident, Mrs. Elizabeth Duncan, of High Street, who died at her residence yesterday. The late Mrs. Duncan, who celebrated her ninety-sixth birthday on September 1, has long been honored far and wide as "Frankston's Grand Old Lady," and news of her death has caused great regret. Three sons and one daughter (Miss Blanche Duncan, Frankston) were at her bedside, as survivors of a family of ten children.
95 Years in Frankston.
In the year 1852, Elizabeth Burtop [sic] (Mrs. Duncan), then an only child, and three months old, left Edmonton (Enghand) with her parents, and sailed for Australia on a windjammer. The journey took six months - thus she was nine months old on arrival in Australia. Apparently the present modern age was not the only period of housing shortage in Australia, for Mrs. Duncan's father actually brought his own six-roomed house all the way from England on the windjammer only to find it impossible to land the building on arrival at what is now Port Melbourne. There was no pier or landing-stage of any kind, and no boats.
The women and children were carried ashore through deep water. The men rolled up their trousers and waded ashore. The house had to remain aboard the windjammer, and returned with it to England.
Tent in Collins Street.
Mrs. Duncan used to recall that her first Australian home was a tent pitched in Collins Street east, on the site of the present noted professional quarters. Here the second child, a sister, was born. She regarded as the greatest scare of her lifetime the day when, in the absence of her parents, she was left to mind the baby sister. A party of blacks came and picked up the baby, held her up for curious inspection, and danced around her, outside the tent. But they returned her unharmed after some minutes.
Famous Landmarks.
Mrs. Duncan's father secured a position as manager of Cremorne Gardens, now the site of Rosella Preserving Co. After three years he established his own market garden at the Victoria Bridge crossing (Richmond) near where Melbourne High School now stands. Two years later he moved, to lease a market garden on the present Abbotsford Convent site.
A Famous Herbalist.
After five years had passed, her father purchased a property on Darebin Creek, Preston, where he began the growing of medicinal herbs. A gifted herbalist, he established an extensive practice at Ivanhoe, and became renowned throughout the Commonwealth for wonderful herbal cures. No doubt there are old-time Victorians today who remember "Burton's Herbs." He eventually died at Ivanhoe.
Music and Needlework.
Having learned music in Melbourne, Mrs. Duncan (Elizabeth Burton), while at Preston, established herself as a music teacher, a profession she continued for many years, including several years at Frankston. She was also noted for outstanding needlework.
Mrs. Duncan was married at Preston, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. Duncan Fraser, and went to live at Bulleen (now East Kew), where her husband and his brother conducted Duncan's cheese factory, a prominent cheese establishment of those early days. Mrs. Duncan also lived at Ivanhoe and Berwick, where her father was once manager of a dairy property for Mr. Gibbs, Member of Parliament, and later works manager of Wilson's stone quarries, Berwick. She returned to live at Ivanhoe where, in 1918, her husband died. Coming to Frankston with her daughter, Blanche, in 1921, Mrs. Duncan lived first in High Street; subsequently her High Street home was built for her by her son.
Did Not Like Sea.
Mrs. Duncan, who had seen the steady progress of Frankston over the past quarter-century, was most impressed by the remarkable growth of the shopping centre. Although she enjoyed living in Frankston, and made many lasting friendships, the sea never appealed to her, and the only time she had been in any kind of boat was during her voyage out on the windjammer.
Shocked by Modern Youth.
Mrs. Duncan, when asked some time ago for her candid opinion of the conduct of the rising generation, as compared with the young people of her day, said she was shocked by the excessive drinking by male and female youths at everyday parties and entertainments, and was particularly appalled at the wicked and increasing desecration of the Sabbath.
A Good Church Worker.
During her residence in Frankston, Mrs. Duncan was an ardent worker of the Presbyterian Church, and one of the founders of that church here.
Grandfather Served Royalty. Mrs. Duncan was proud of the fact that her mother's parents had lived opposite Buckingham Palace. Her grandfather was upholsterer to the Royal Family, and had gold crowns on all his business carts.
Old Chum 97.
Only one of Mrs. Duncan's old friends survives her, and this is her best girlhood chum, Mrs. Baynes, 97 years, living in Darebin Street, Heidelberg. Mrs. Duncan had enjoyed splendid health all her lifetime.

Death of Mrs. Furmston, Senr.
Another of Healesville's pioneer identities, Mrs Clara Maria Furmston, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Russell, St. Leonard's road, Healesville, on Wednesday. Deceased, aged 85 years, was predeceased some years ago by her husband, Mr. Edward Mitchell Furmston. Their family comprised Rose (Mrs. Russell), Clara (Mrs. Beaver, dec.), Edward, Frederick, Harold, John and Ronald.
A large number of mourners attended the funeral in the Healesville cemetery on Thursday, arrangements being conducted by Mr. F. Heritage. The graveside service was conducted by Rev. J. L. Hall, vicar of St. John's Church of England.
Mrs. Furmston, who was a Miss Sparkes, was born at Templestowe. On her father's appointment as first school master at Marysville, she went to reside there as a young child. She was married in the mountain township when she was 21, and she and her husband settled in Healesville, where Mr. Furmston conducted a butcher shop in Green street, and where their family was born.
Mrs. Furmston was one of a family of seventeen, of whom four brothers and three sisters are still living. Besides her five sons and one daughter, Mrs. Furmston is survived by 12 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
Cr. F.J. Barton, of Marysville, is a nephew of Mrs. Furmston, his mother being a Miss Sparkes. Cr.
W. J. Cuzens, of Marysville, is also a family connection. The well-known Sparkes families are also related to Mrs. Furmston. Other branches of the families reside at Alexandra, Marysville and surrounding districts.
Mrs. Furmston had been ailing for some years, and her death was not unexpected.
The Furmston family is one of the most highly esteemed in the Healesville district, and we join in the condolences being extended to them on the passing of their beloved "Gran."

Supplement: - The Argus Woman's Magazine - KING BABY
Let us introduce little Tony Gray, and his nursemaid, Chips. Tony is the 2½ year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Gray, of Doncaster. He and his red setter, Chips, are fast friends.
Here is their story:
CHIPS went to live with Mr and Mrs Gray in Doncaster after he had made Brighton too hot for himself by getting into the Firbank Girls' Grammar School cloakroom and trying to eat some of the hats!
The reason for this was that Chips used to go from his Brighton home to Firbank each school day just in time for a snack with his schoolgirl friends as they ate their lunches. Then, one day, morning school was out early, and when Chips arrived lunch was over. Such a blow, and Chips consoled himself with a spare hat or two. So it was "Good-bye, Mr Chips, to Brighton," and when Tony's mother took her baby home from the private hospital where he was born, there was Chips on the doorstep, wagging his tail.
After that, of course, Chips became a nursemaid, like the one in Peter Pan, and, now that Tony's a "big boy," he and Chips are real buddies.

By FREDA IRVING
MEMORIES of her own wedding day were relived by Mrs. A. Fraser of Templestowe, yesterday.
She watched her granddaughter Barbara Turner walk up the aisle at Melbourne Grammar Chapel for her marriage to Warwick Stanley (Dick) Massina, in the wedding finery she wore herself some 50- odd years ago.
Admittedly Barbara had to have the 22in. waist of the Edwardian bride let out a trifle, but for the rest the frock was as grandma wore it - boned bodice, leg o' mutton sleeves, and long court train fashioned in brocaded satin.
And she had to replace grandma's veil with a new tulle one, but she caught it to the head with grandma's orange blossom, while other 50 and over touches were her 'kerchief and her white silk stockings with the daring lacey instep of the Edwardian lady.
There was an old-world air, too, about the silvery green brocaded satin frock worn by matron of honor Mrs. Patrick Maplestone and the embroidered primrose organdie worn by bridesmaid Katherine Turner, Barbara's three-year-old niece.
Bride is only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Turner, of Westerfolds, Templestowe, and the groom - who had Jim Moran as best man - is eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Massina, Pine Hills, Deniliquin.
Barbara and Dick will live at Deniliquin, where they have built their own home on Pine Hills, which they devoutly hope will be quite complete when they arrive there after their honeymoon.

TWO small attendants in Dutch national costume, complete with clogs, assisted Miss Marianne de Groot when she married Mr. Keith Nightingale at Holy Trinity Church of England, Doncaster, yesterday.
The two children were the bride's youngest sister, Maghdalenie, and Lawrence Elliott.
The bride, who wore a magnolia lace gown, with a three-tiered tulle veil, was also attended by Misses Marjorie Richmond and June Stone, who wore individual frocks of lemon and ice-blue lace and net.
The bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D. de Groot, Doncaster East, formerly of Holland. The groom, who is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. D. Nightingale, had Mr. E. C. Coxon as best man, and Mr. T. de Groot as groomsman.
A bit of old Holland came to Doncaster
Marianne - who began yesterday as Miss de Groot and ended it is Mrs. Keith Nightingale - couldn't go home to Holland for her wedding, so she spread some of the Dutch atmosphere around the little Holy Trinity Church, Doncaster, where she was married yesterday.
She has been here only two years.
Marianne's sister, Magdalena (right), and Laurence Elliott, a Dutch boy, dressed completely in the style of old Holland - down to the wooden clogs - to carry the bride's train, as she and Keith left the church after their wedding.

Maffra Bride At Scot's Church
On Saturday, November 6, at Scots Church, Collins street, Melbourne, the marriage took place between Margaret Elizabeth, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Leslie, Maffra, and Kenneth William, third son of Mr. and Mrs. P. M. McArthur of Doncaster.
The Rev. Crichton Barr officiated, assisted by Rev. Graham Nathan.
The bride made a delightful picture as she entered the church on the arm of her father. The classical gown of ivory satin brocade was made with a fitting bodice finished with rows of tiny buttons, and featured a high Medici collar, whilst the long sleeves tapered to points at the wrists. The slim-fitting skirt fell away to form a long train. A pearl embroidered brocade curvette held the finger-tip length tulle veil in place, and she carried a crescent-shaped bouquet of white orchids and lily of the valley to finish a perfect ensemble.
She was attended by Miss Robin Say and Miss Marjorie Owen, both of whom wore ballerina frocks of French velvet in a lovely ruby red shade. Both frocks were made identically, featuring V necklines and full skirts. Their curvettes were made of matching velvet, and they carried trails of white rose buds and lily of the valley, the colors matching their short gloves.
The bridegroom, who is Avon engineer, was attended by his brother, Mr. Donald McArthur, and the groomsman was Mr. Laurie Hanlon. The bride's brothers acted as ushers.
The church was decorated with red and white lilies, and the music was provided by Mr. Herbert Davies at the pipe organ. "My Heart Ever Faithful" was beautifully rendered by Mrs. Norman Cottman.
The reception was held at Berkeley Hall, St. Kilda. Mrs. Leslie's delightful frock was grey nylon tulle trimmed with ivory guipure lace and with which she wore a matching stole and long white sleeves. Her small grey velvet hat, trimmed with moonstones and sequins, was a perfect match. Her flowers were red roses and lily of the valley.
Mrs. McArthur wore a small powder blue crepe ensemble with navy blue accessories, and she wore a spray of orchids. Later the guests moved to the banquet hall for dinner. Pride of place was the three tiered wedding cake made by the bride's mother.
For travelling, the bride wore a smart and unusual en[s]emble made of imported Swiss embossed cotton in shades of mushroom and ivory. A small bolero covered the fitted bodice, and the main feature of the skirt was the bustle back effect. A tiny close-fitting white Matalassi straw hat with junior navy accessories completed a charm [sic] outfit.
The haneymoon [sic] was spent toruing [sic] by car to Sydney and surrounding districts. The couple will reside in Maffra.

MAN BURNED TO DEATH
Police and ambulance men had to watch helplessly as a young truck driver was burnt to death in the crushed cabin of his semi-trailer near Chiltern early yesterday.
They were repeatedly forced back by flames and intense heat as they tried to answer the man's pitiful screams: "Get me out. Get me out. I can't move my legs."
The man, Robert Crellan Collister, about 25, of Elizabeth st., Doncaster, reached out an arm from the blazing cabin a few seconds before he was burnt to death.
First-constable R. R. Sievwright, of Chiltern, said: "It was horrible. We couldn't do a thing for him." Police were told Collister was driving a diesel semi-trailer laden with apples toward New South
Wales when he struck a concrete pylon of a bridge leading over a small creek seven miles on the Melbourne side of Chiltern.
The semi-trailer plunged down a 12ft. embankment into the creek, trapping the driver, and then caught fire.
Collister was married about two months ago.

Normie Rowe's Wedding
WHEN pop singer Normie Rowe married Susan Powlesland at St. Benedict's Church, Burwood, Victoria, crowds gathered round. Young and old. Mothers with babes in arms, grandmothers, squealing teenyboppers, women with their hair in curlers, boys with dogs on leashes.
Onlookers jammed the pavements, sat on nearby fences, and, after the ceremony, when the bride and bridegroom appeared in the church doorway, pushed forward into the church.
Susan Powlesland, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Powlesland, of Burwood, was an animated bride in a full-length gown with bell-shaped raglan sleeves.
Normie, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Rowe, of Lower Templestowe, best man Graeme Trottman and groomsman Neville Tipping wore identical with-it gear. Burgundy suits, deep pink shirts, and psychedelic ties.
After the signing of the register the wedding group, pictured here, posed in the vestry for photographs.
The bride was attended by her two sisters, Julie and Madleine Powlesland, Julie with her long hair styled similarly to that of the bride and Madleine with curls at shoulder length. The colorful embroidery on their white crepe empire-line gowns was an appealing fashion point.
Flowergirl Janice Rowe (2½), a niece of the bride-groom, wore a long white gown with green sash.
A contrast to the casually dressed Saturday afternoon spectators was a group of girls from Chavoin College, where the bride was a former pupil, neatly dressed in blue-and-white checked uniforms and white panama bowler hats.
Seated in the church, they sang hymns during the signing of the register.
Among the guests at the wedding and reception held at Mandalay, Northcote, were pop singers Ronnie Burns, with his wife, and Buddy England.
