Newspaper Articles

Newspaper	Date	Content
The Medical Journal of Australia, Australia	29 September 1951	Dr. Stanley George Bradfield had an obituary appear in The Medical Journal of Australia, Australia, on Saturday, 29 September 1951 as follows: We are indebted to Dr. S. Livingstone Spencer for the following appreciation of the late Dr. Stanley George Bradfield. Stanley George Bradfield was killed in an accident on August 12, 1951. He had taken a tree-felling expert to his holiday property at Stanwell Park in order to dispose of a tree which endangered a neighbour's home. A rope which was being used fouled a second tree, and then whipped with tremendous force against Bradfield's chest, breaking his ribs and causing intrathoracic injuries which were immediately fatal. Stan Bradfield was born at Gordon in New South Wales in 1906, and came of a distinguished family. His father was the late Dr J J C Bradfield, for many years chief engineer for metropolitan railway construction, and designer of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. His mother, sister and four brothers survive him including Dr. E. V. Bradfield formerly of Belmont and now practicing in Arncliffe, Sydney. He was educated at the Sydney Church of England Grammar School, and passed the leaving certificate examination with first class honours in mathematics and physics, going on to receive his undergraduate education at the University of Sydney. Always near the top of his year, he won the Parkinson Memorial Prize for pathology and bacteriology, and graduated in 1930 with first class honours. During the last three years of his medical course he was a member of Saint Paul's College. He was appointed to the resident medical staff of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and after terms in residence at the Royal South Sydney Hospital, the Women's Hospital, Crown Street, and the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children, he went abroad for post-graduate study, and remained in England from 1933 to 1935, gaining further experience as resident medical officer at the Stockton and Thornaby District Hospital and at the Hampstead Children's Hospital. During this period, also, he passed the examination for membership of the Royal College of Physicians, London. Later, in 1938, he became a foundation member of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians. On his return to Sydney in 1935, Bradfield commenced in general practice at Bankstown, a suburb of Sydney, in succession to the late Dr. E. M. Goard. Here, by his ability, his boundless energy and his conscientious devotion to his calling, he attracted a wide circle of patients, who were also his friends. Always a lover of children, he gave more and more attention to paediatrics, and in 1950 he entirely relinquished the care of his adult patients to Dr. Colin Ratcliff and from then on restricted his practice to the treatment of sick children, whom he saw at Bankstown and in his rooms in Macquarie Street, Sydney. He had been a member of the honorary medical staff of the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children since 1936, and an honorary physician since 1949. He had also served the hospital for two years as secretary to the honorary medical staff, and had been a tutor in paediatrics in the University of Sydney. In 1949, when the Government of New South Wales set up a panel of consultants who might be called to examine patients suspected of having anterior poliomyelitis, Bradfield was one of the two nominees of the Royal Alexandria Hospital for Children. He attended the Australasian Medical Congress (British Medical Association) in Brisbane in 1950, and the inaugural meeting of the Paediatric Association of Australia, of which he was a foundation member. On seceral occasions he lectured on child health for the Post-Graduate Committee in Medecine in the University of Sydney. In 1941 Bradfield went overseas with the 2/12 Australian General Hospital, and soon rose to the rank of major, returning to practice in 1944. In 1935 Stan Bradfield married Miss Enid Alt, also of Gordon. Only a few months before his untimely death he had acquired a beautiful home in this suburb, and was looking forward to the full indulgence of one of his keenest interests, that of gardening. His love of the open air was an expression of his unflagging energy, and his close friends will remember the slender tireless figure which tramped briskly ahead through the bush when his companions would willingly have rested or turned back. The operas of Gilbert and Sullivan formed another interest. Bradfield knew many of the songs by heart, and every Gilbert and Sullivan season saw him prominent in the audience. Always a devoted husband and father, Stan Bradfield leaves his widow and four young children, two daughters and two sons. He is also mourned by countless patients and friends, who knew him as a fine physician and a staunch comrade. The memory of Stan Bradfield's sincerity and generosity will live on in the hearts of those who knew him together with universal sorrow that he should have been taken from us when he stood on the threshold of a great career. Dr. Lennox Price writes: Stanley Bradfield's brilliant academic record and his skill as a physician were known by many, but it is of his more personal qualities that I wish to write. Our two families being linked in friendship, it naturally followed, on our return from active service , that our children should be growing up together, and that we should associate more closely. Here it was, within the family circle, that one saw him in his happiest moments for he loved all children, and in his devotion to his own he was, I believe, the ideal parent. Firm when necessary, but always kindly and never patronizing, he seemed naturally to draw children to him; and it was surely fitting that paediatrics should be his chosen specialty. It became necessary to seek his help in the case of one of my own children and I was thus able to appraise at first hand the careful history-taking and meticulous physical examination, followed by the necessary advice, all quietly and without fuss or frill. He possessed no artificial airs and graces, nor did he seem to encourage those who adopted them. The somewhat clipped form of speech gave a first impression of an abrupt manner, but this was mollified by a bubbling sense of humour, which would burst forth at unexpected moments, and one learnt to appreciate the sudden quip, followed by the merry twinkle of the eye which was his characteristic. Of small stature, he yet possessed an inexhaustible fund of physical and mental energy, and was never idle for a moment. Up with the lark, he would be off on an early morning consultation long before the normal breakfast hour, or when time permitted he might be found energetically tilling his kitchen garden in which he took a pride. Work or the welfare of his patients was his chief concern; but his great delight was to take a brief respite with his children at his holiday retreat at Stanwell Park. Tragically, it was in this manner that he met his death, for while he was felling a tree, no doubt in preparation for summer camps, the fatal accident occurred. Death, we are told, was instantaneous. Our sympathy goes out to his widow and the four young children whom he left, the oldest a girl aged twelve years and the youngest a baby boy a little over one year old. Medicine in this generation could ill afford to lose such a man as Stan Bradfield.⁶

Hannah Farndale was mentioned in an article in The Colac Herald, Colac, VIC, Australia^G, on Friday, 23 December 1892 as follows:

MEMORIAL SERVICE -It is not often a minister is called upon to hold a double memorial service, but on Sunday evening last this solemn duty devolved on the Rev. H. J. Cock, who conducted a special service in memory of Mr John Gaylard and Mrs Hannah Farndale, two old and respected members of the Wesleyan Church.
The rev. gentleman based his sermon on the words "The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law." But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ " (I Corinthians XV. 56.57.) He commenced by relating the parable of the angel of sleep and the angel of death in illustration of the universally natural aversion in man to death. We welcome sleep, and are to glad to have our senses locked in its sweet and refreshing embrace. But with what hated breath we speak to death. There were all around them the signs and emblems of mourning, many of those present having known what bereavement was. He would like to ask them how it was that such a horror centres in and around the dying hour? St. Paul gave us the explanation where he says "the sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law." Another cause was that in death we cease to be, Everything clings most tenaciously to life: man as well as the brute creation. Then again death separates bcdy and soul, after having been closely linked or welded together, for say 70 years. There is also the fear of ceasing to be, the fear that death will blot out our existence for ever. But faith looks beyond, to that home prepared for the soul. Loved ones may minister to us in the dying hour, they may go down to the very verge of the grave, and we may hear them say the last fond good-bye, the last fond farewell, yet we must all pass out of this world in utter loneliness, that is, to the soul out of Christ. The apostle, while not ex cluding these causes of pain and anguish from the dying hour, lays stress on the fact that the sting of death is sin, and, as Shakespeare says " Conscience makes cowards of us all." In that hour how many sins crowd in upon us, and we feel terror stricken at going out into eternity and meeting God, if he is not our friend. Innocence is not afraid to die, but guilt always is. The little babe is not afraid to die, and had we re tained the innocence of early life, we should not be afraid, but the angel passed out of man and the devil came in. It was no wonder that man was afraid to be called to the bar of God's judgement remembering how often he had broken His law. Turning from the dark side of the picture he drew the attention of his hearers to the bright side, as contained in Paul's words " But thanks be unto God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Fear of death may be conquered in many ways. There was a certain amount of steel and iron in man, by which he could nerve himself for the trying ordeal, as was often the case with the infidel, the scoffer, and the world ling. It was said that Jay Gould died calmly and peace fully, but of a man who had lived such a life as he had it might well be said " Ephraim is joined to idols; let him alone." Jay Gould had made gold his God, and bent all his energies in acquiring wealth ; so God let him alone, and he who com menced life by selling mouse-traps died worth £14,000,000. God giveth us the victory in overcoming the sins thatoppresses our lives. Thechristian had the victory over death, and in a joyful resurrection ; and also had a final victory at the bar of God. Thus there was the victory of pardon, of sin, of the broken law, of death and the resurrection, and then the passing in to the eternal home. Of the two whose memory he would bring to their remembrance that night, and who had worshipped with them in past times, they had passed in to their reward. He then proceeded to read an obituary notice of each of the departed, of which the following is a summary :
John Gaylard was born on the 10th August, 1818, in Martick, England, and came to Australia, landing in Adelaide in 1853. In the following year he came over to Victoria, and almost immediately settled in Colac, where he continued to reside until his death. In 1842, eleven years before leaving England, he was married to Mliss Emma Locock, on his 24th birthday. Being a man of modest gifts he never took a -prominent part in church work or secular matters. His christian life was a very quiet, retired one, though he was always ready to talk about spiritual things, and was a constant attendant at the Sabbath services. His last illness was an exceedingly painful one, but in the midst of all the joy of the Lord was his strength. The Lord was with himin the fiery furnace, and his testi mony to the supporting grace of God was most satisfactory. His last in telligent communication was a requ s! made to his daughter to sing the hymns " Down at the Cross," and "My God I am Thine," and to read the 14th chapter of St John's gospel. Shortly afterwards he fell into a comatose state, and lingered for two or three . days until Wednesday, Nov 9th, when he fell asleep in Jesus.
Hannah, relict of the late Mathew Farndale was born in Slights, York shire, England on the 11th October 1807. She was married in 1828, and in 1853 accompanied her husband to to this colony, providence directing their steps into the Colac district. Here their children grew to manhood and womanhood; here their grand children climbed their grandsire's knee "the envied kiss to share," and here too the aged grandparents saw and blessed the children of the fourth generation. About eight years ago the fond husband, on whose strong arm the wife had leaned, and in whose love she had dwelt for 56 years was taken from her side to the higher life and service of heaven. The loneliness of widowhood has been greatly cheered by the presence sympathy, and loving kindness of her children. Not quite three years ago the sad affliction of blindness rendered her life yet sadder still, and the present being shut out from view, she naturally lingered on the past, to her so full of love and happiness. When a girl she was associated with the Church of England, but before her marriage she joined as a member of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, and during her long life remained a most consistent loyal member of the church. Though ailing for a long time past the end came rather un expectedly on Friday, December 9th. How bright the vision that suddenly burst upon her gaze. Now she sees the King in His beauty. Those darkened orbs are now feasting in delight on Him who is the fairest among ten thousand and altogether lovely.³

WEDDING BELLS.

Despite the scarcity of flowers at present, the surroundings of the pulpit in the Methodist Church were prettily decorated for the wedding, on Monday evening of Phyllis Nellie, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mutch, of Cootamundra, and Leslie James, son of the late William Middleton and Mrs. Aspland, of Camperdown, Victoria. The Rev. H.E. Bellhouse officiated. The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a costume of cream crepe de chine, the bodice being daintily trimmed with satin and pearls, and lined with pale pink lilies of the valley, and wore a veil over a wreath of orange Blossoms, also an aquamarine pendant, the gift of the bridegroom. The brides- maid, Miss Ethel Mutch, wore a frock of white coil, trimmed with shadow lace, and a cap of white tuile, lined with pale pink ninon and ninon roses, with black velvet streamers. She car- ried a bouquet of pale pink roses, and wore a cameo ring, the bridegroom's present. Mr. Ernest Thompson acted as best-man. Whilst the register was being signed Miss Laura Row rendered in pleasing style, the solo, 'Because.' During the service the congregation joined in the singing of the hymns, 'The voice that Breathed o'er Eden' and 'O, Perfect Love!' whilst as the bridal party left the church the organist, Mr. W. B. Breyley, played the 'Wedding March'. A reception was held at the residence of the bride's parents; and later the newly-married couple left by the express for Melbourne.³

Youthful Burglars.

When Mr. Les. Aspland went to his business place on Monday morning he found the back door open, and things a bit topsy turvy, but a look over his stock revealed nothing amiss. A few shillings were gone from a cash box. The back window was broken, but the hole was only big enough to let a very small person through. The police took the matter up, and we under stand that two boys are to be dealt with.³

QUARTER SESSIONS

(Continued from page 7) A 'SLEEPY' ACCUSED

Robert Gordon was called to answer a charge of stealing from person.
Accusod was on bail. When called he did not answer.
He was located, asleep, in the gallery, and when 'the police got him down they said he was under the influence.

His Honor asked the police to lock him up till 2 o 'clock.
Gordon was brought in again at 2 o 'clock, and Mr. Maxwell, who appeared for him, said he seemed well enough. Accused had been travelling all night, and was not physically fit (returned soldier), and had got excited.
The charge was that he had stolen £14 and a book, the property of George Henry Tilden, from the person, at or near Cootamundra.
Plea, not guilty.

Jury: W. Elliott, H. T. Merriman, Joseph Moore, T. Bannon, I. Brovman, L. J. Aspland, P. Reardon, John Scott, George Gill, M. B. Sutton, Maxwell J. Wilson, P. J. Bartley.
Several of the jurymen who had officiated in the Temora case were called, but requested by the C-P. to 'stand aside.'
Sergeant Macdonald deposed: On 21st December, at 8.15, I was on the Cootamundra station when the Albury mail arrived. Tilden, who was in a second class carriage, called me. Ac cused was lying down in the carriage, drunk, but seemed to know what was said.
Mr. Maxwell objected, as his client was at the time incapable.
Witness: He was not too drunk to know.
Mr. Maxwell: He was arrested for drunkenness. I can call evidence that he did not understand.

His Honor: It is no use objecting. The constable said he could hear and understand.
Witness admitted that accused was half drowsy.
Evidence admitted
Witness: Tilden said, 'l have been robbed of £15.' I said, ' Where did you miss it ?' He said, ''About Beth- ungra.' ' ' ' Whom do you .suspect? ' 'I don't know. It must have been some- one in the carriage." We shook accused up and said we would search him. Ar- rested him. He was sober enough to walk along the platform. Sergeant Jeffrey handed me £7 in notes and some silver which he took out of accused's hip pocket. I said, 'How much did you have?' He said, 'About £8.' From the right side pocket we took two £5 notes and four £1 notes. I said, 'There are more notes here- What have you got altogether. ' ' He said. 'About £12.' I said, 'You have got. 'about £20 altogether.' He made no reply. On the following morning I said '.'You were a bit drunk last night. How much did you have on you last night? ' ' He, said, 'About £21.' I said, 'Where did you get it!' He said, 'I sold some furniture in Melbourne, and had a few pounds be sides. I found a receipt for £8, and asked did he pay it out of the £24. 'He said yes. He further said the money got separated in his pockets, but it was all his own. I produce the bank book. The bank book, has the name of Tilden in t'

By Mr. Maxwell: There were six or severn passengers. Only searched accused.

Tilden, a laborer at Beveridge's, be tween Gundagai and Wagga, deposed., that he was travelling to Goulburn. Waa drunk when he got in the train. Had £14 on him, including two £5 notes. Put it in the bank book produced, and put the book in his inside breast pocket. This chap was next to him all the time and offered him a drink. Witness was skylarking. When he missed the money he said he would give them all in charge at Cootamundra. A man named Morris said he would call the police if witness did not.
His Honor: Nice ,company travelling! Was the skylarking all in fun?
Witness: Yes. When I took the mouthful of spirits I spat it over him.
Didn't the railway officials try and put you out for being drunk ?
No.
They should have.
By Mr. Maxwell: Anyone could have seen the book sticking out of the top of my pocket. I came to Wagga with a cheque of £38. Spent a good bit Put £10 in the bank. Spent about £12 Gave a good bit to my grandchildren. It could not have fallen on the floor while I was flopping about.

Daniel Morris, lineman on the rail way deposed to Tilden pulling his money out, and witness told him to put it back and not be silly. Accused and Tilden were falling about on one an other. Drink was going round. No one sat next to Tilden but accused.
By Mr. Maxwell: I called tho police at Cootamundra. Tilden fell out of the carriage at Junee and I put him back. I did not have any of the liquor. Neither did Tilden. Tilden got in drunk at Wagga. I joined the train at Culcairn- I was not searched by the police but was willing to be.
Sergt. Jeffrey: The Bethungra station- master handed me Tilden's bank book.

Accused deposed: I live in Victoria. Came back in 1919. Was discharged as medically unfit, due to wounds. Produce the discharge.
Mr. Maxwell: It reads on active service three years. Discharge not due to misconduct.
Continuing: On 17th December I had about £32 on me. Went to see my mother at Milgrove, and sent £3 to my wife. Leaving Melbourne had about £21. At Wagga I was getting towards drunk. Someone gave me a dinner the other side of Junee. Remember nothing after that till I was at the police station. Have never been in trouble before. Sold my furniture to go and live in Sydney.
By Mr. Mason: Got the furniture from the Repatriation. Have arranged for the payment of the balance due, about £21. Thought I had the right to sell it and put the money in my pocket. Have now to pay it at £1 a week.
To Mr. Maxwell: I received three £5 notes and six £1 notes for the fur- niture. By Mr. Mason: If Mr. Shannon said he paid me one £10 note, one £5 note, and six £1 notes, he would be wrong
The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. '
Accused was discharged, and his Honor directed the money to be held to give an opportunity to apply for it.³

TOBACCONIST ROBBED

YOUNG, Friday.

Thieves at night stole good? valued at £50, mostly tobacco and cigarettes, from L. Aspland's hairdressing saloon.³

the Young Witness, Young, NSW, Australia^G

circa 16 July 1987

He had an obituary appear in the Young Witness, Young, NSW, Australia^G, circa 16 July 1987 as follows:
One of the district's oldest and likeable residents passed away last month.
He was Leslie James Aspland better known as Les, to his many friends.
He was born at Camperdown in Victoria on APRIL 9th, 1890 and passed away in July at 97 years of age.
After working as a painter with his Father and Brother, Les came to Cootamundra around 1910 to act as best man at a wedding in town, and liked Cootamundra, so he stayed and secured a job as a coach painter.
While in Cootamundra he married Phyllis Mutch, and purchased a barbers shop, learned the trade and conducted this business until he purchased a 550 acre farm near Brawlin.
After 3 years on the farm he came to Young in 1921 and opened a barbers' shop on the present site of COLES store in Boorowa Street.
He later moved into the Great Eastern Hotel building, (now the Cherry Blossom Florist) and continued his business until 1954.
He had many friends who used to call into his shop just to say hello and have a yarn.
One of his closest friends was the late Sid Briggs who also conducted a hairdressing business in the town at the same time. They shared many hours together in their later years swapping stories and recalling their early days. Some recollections at the time were;
- Customers paying 6d for a shave, and 9d for a haircut.
- A 2oz. packet of tobacco was 9d.
- A packet of cigarettes was 3d , or 5 packets for one shilling.
Les had a liking for gardening and this hobby became part of his business, as he used to sell many of the plants he grew through his barbers shop. This hobby filled many happy hours when he retired from business.
He had a capacity for making friends, and many of these friendships he maintained by writing, and other means, almost until the day he passed away.
At 96 years of age he must have been one of the oldest to receive a Citizenship Award at the Australia Day Celebrations.
His "CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION" hung proudly in his room at Mount St. Joseph's Home where he was very well liked and respected, by those who came in contact with him.
Les and his wife, who predeceased him, had four children ;
Gwen Brown (Young)
Audrey Mote (Bowral)
Mona Dwyer (Young)
and son Raymond (Mick) of (Young)

A good innings by a fine man.

Anecdote

1981

Autobiographical note written by Les Aspland circa 1981 when he was 91 years old.

My family consisted of Mum and Dad, Perce, Nell, Ethel, Hilda, Bert, Ada, Clarice, Dorrie and myself.

Mum had very little to feed the family, but we were all fed well. At meal times there was no talking unless it was from Mum or Dad. There was all the old style cooking - stews, puddings and plenty of meat which was cheap then.

Perce was a cabinet maker and upholsterer. Ethel was a governess, Nell in a shop, Hilda in a drapers shop, Bert a house painter with Dad, Ada in a baker's shop, Clarice a nurse girl and Dorrie in a drapery shop.

We had a big tub for a bath, no shower in those days, and heated the water on the stove. I belonged to a bike club but the others were not involved in any sport. Hilda was learning singing and sang very well. I was at all their weddings and got bilious at every one of them, except at my own wedding. Nervous attacks!

One of my earliest memories was when I was 5 years old and my father was a paper hanger and house painter working out at Cobden. A man at Cobden had a small piebald pony, and he asked DAD (William) if he would bring it into Camperdown behind his wagon. It duly arrived, and I went out into the yard to see it, and DAD put me on it, and it raced around the back yard and I sat on it till it ran under the clothes line which caught me under the neck and I thought it had cut my head off.

We lived about 100 yards from the school. When I was 6 years old my sister took me to school, but as soon as the bell rang to go inside I used to run home. It took about two weeks to break me in.

As time went on, it was the usual thing for two boys to have a fight every day after school, and I eventually finished up with about six fights all of which I won, but they were all very gory. As soon as I was hit on the nose I used to bleed freely and there was blood everywhere. I have only had one fight since I left school, which I won, and that was in the Sunday School ground, and the Superintendent tried to stop it. They had cut down a pine tree in the yard and I picked up a limb and hit him on the legs and made him sick, and he went home, but that ended the fight and we both went into Sunday School covered in blood. Another chap took over and gave a speech about it and cautioned us.

[The following is an extract from a story Les told his grand daughter Louise Schuhkraft (nee Dwyer) Ed.]
"Les tells the story of one Friday evening of Mr. Birrell, the Headmaster of the Camperdown School where Les attended, and who lived next door to Les, went to Melbourne for the weekend and left three of his daughters at home. Les and Billy Hall, Maurie Bailey, and Alf Fringer, sneaked over to Mr. Birrell's home and legged each other up to the high windows to look at the girls chasing each other around the lounge room. Les legged the other three boys into the room but of course was then left stranded outside. A great time was had by all except Les. However on Monday morning at assembly Mr. Birrell called the four boys into his office. Maurie Bailey jumped out the window as he had a heart condition and knew that his Father would protect him from being caned, but Billy and Alf got 6 cuts and Les received 12 as he had been the one to leg them in.

On another occasion a Mr. McNicoll arrived for his first day of teaching at the school, and upon entering Les's class room, stated to his pupils that he operated on one system only and that was discipline; discipline; discipline; Les turned to the boy next to him and whispered, "Gee this is going to be rough" and was immediately called to the front of the classroom and caned. However the following day Mr. McNicoll must have regretted his hasty decision as he gave Les all the good jobs to do. After this a mutual liking sprang, and later Les and his sister corresponded with Mr. McNicoll. This gentleman went on to become a politician and eventually the Administrator Of New Guinea."

LES treasured these letters that he received from his old school teacher and kept them for many years, in fact it was for 74 years. When going through his things he decided to send one of the letters to his son David McNicoll. He did this and received the following reply;

BOX 4088, SYDNEY
               JAN. 12
DEAR MR.ASPLAND,
               What a wonderful surprise to be sent a 74- year- old letter from my father. I found it most interesting, and have sent a copy to my eldest brother, who completed a biography of my Father last year. My Father certainly had a varied career - Teacher - Soldier - Politician - and finally Administrator Of New Guinea.

We were very proud of him.

I wish you many more years of health and happiness.

Yours sincerely,

DAVID McNICOLL.

Now back to Les's own words.

Only once was I roused on by Dad. I met him down the street on Christmas Eve with his foreman, they were both drunk and I said to him, "go home you silly fool". As he turned towards me I ran up a lane into the backyard of a grocer's shop and hid in a big box till I thought I was safe. When I got home at 10 o'clock Mum was waiting at the front gate and told me to sneak in as Dad was very annoyed with me. So, I sure was quiet. I got up early the next morning and went down to a mate until I thought Dad had gone down the street. But, when I went home he was just coming out of the gate and said, "don't you ever speak to me like that again." I was quite happy with this outcome.

Dad used to buy a pig at the saleyards and get a man to cut it up. On one occasion I was helping bring it home with a rope on its leg when, a quarter of a mile from home the rope came off. It was nearly dark and we had quite a job catching it and getting it home.

I left school at the age of thirteen (in some letters he says twelve Ed.) years on a Friday with William Fisher (who was later to marry my sister Ada), and we were both apprenticed on the Monday for seven years, with Walls and Horne; I as a Coach Painter and Bill on the Woodwork, as they were Carriage Builders and also Undertakers. I stayed there several years during which time I always drove the pair of horses in the Hearse, and later when the boss was on holidays or sick, I conducted the funerals, some of which were very funny as we hired horses from the livery stables and at times got one that would jib and it was an awkward position to be in, and it happened four times to me.

We had a very big area to cover, up to 50 miles on one occasion. About 15 miles out we had to go down a very steep hill, but half way down we had to turn into the gate to go to the house and all was well but, when we came out as soon as we struck the hill one horse jibbed, and no effort could get them to go. Another chap was the driver that day, and I was conducting. The Carriage following had two horses so we changed over, and when the funeral topped the hill my mate belted them all the way at a gallop, and I made it in time for the burial.

On one occasion when my boss was in Melbourne I conducted a funeral of an old lady, very thin, about 82 years old, and her husband was about the same build. I had been out to measure her, and they made the coffin, and the next day I went to conduct the funeral. In those days a fair amount of liquor was taken by some of the mourners, and I asked the husband if he wanted any particular people to carry the coffin, and he asked how many I wanted. I said," sometimes they have six, and sometimes four " and he said, " six be buggered, you and I can carry her, she's as light as a feather." He was well under the grog so I got four. I could write a book on my experiences at funerals.

A few days after my father died my boss and I went to lift a woman into her coffin and I let go and fainted, and came to on the floor with the nurse bathing my head.

Another time we went to Darlington and there was a mouse plague on and all harness was put on wires out of reach, and when we got there the mourners were sitting around a table with a kerosene tin on the floor at the end, and on the table they had a board with cheese on the end. The board was fixed so it would tilt, and the mice were in the tin of water in hundreds. In the night my mate had his moustache half eaten off.

When I was about 14 years old I used to go out shooting rabbits that were very plentiful at the time and sell them for sixpence a pair and made good money for the half day holiday.

I left Walls & Thorne after three years and went to work in Terang, fourteen miles from Camperdown, for A J Thomas the leading carriage builders of Victoria. They had a very big staff and used to win every year at the Melbourne Show in those years. A year later I switched over to house painting in Terang for Clarke Bros. I rode my push bike from Camperdown to Terang and back each day for the two years I worked with the two companies, and was never late but often wet through.

I bought a block of land opposite my mother's place in Hopetoun Street for £50 and when I was 19 years old I got two weeks off from Clarke Bros. to put up the frame of a new house with Maurice McMahon and Boyle. Maurice was paid £3 per week to build the house and Boyle £2-8-0. The house cost £208. I never lived in it but rented it out. I later sold it to my sister Ada. When I later built a home in Young, I used the same design as that I had built in Camperdown.

I had worked as a house painter for a man named Hugh Cummins. The manager of the Bank in Camperdown owned two houses in Gippsland and he wanted the boss to go down and paint them. The boss took me with him so we went on the train and stayed the night in Melbourne, and that night we went to see Sinbad The Sailor, and next morning we caught the Cobb & Co. Coach at Dandenong for Toora.

We boarded with a man and wife with two daughters about my age and I fell in love with the younger one, and for a long time after I went back home we wrote regularly, but I met another girl, and somehow we parted. I had letters from her, and her mother wrote and asked me to make it up as Phyllis was fretting over it. Even to-day I feel sorry it turned out that way, as she was a lovely girl. Many years later I had afternoon tea with her sister, but I never saw Phyl. again.

About a year after I started with Clarke Bros., they took on a contract to paint Danedite Homestead, which was being renovated for Marion Manifold's wedding (Sir Chester's sister, I think) to Captain Adams, a Sea Captain, and they got two carpenters out from England to build the new stables, all built of Jarra wood. Four stalls, a chauffeur's room, car room, a 20ft x 20ft all white tiled room for washing cars and buggies, and a feed room etc. to cost £10,000 ($20,000), a lot of money in those days. The stalls were boarded up 4ft, then lattice with 6 inch openings and all morticed in one another, and they were sure experts couldn't get a bit of putty in anywhere. Feed boxes of porcelain and the same with the automatic water drinkers.

I was still painting Danedite Homestead when I got two weeks holiday to come to NSW to be best man at my brother's wedding. (His brother Alfred Herbert Aspland, who married Minnie Knight in August 1914. Ed.) I met a girl I later married, and was offered a job as coach painter, so stayed at my sister's home in Cootamundra, that was in August 1914. My sister Hilda was Mrs. Lloyd Holmes.

When I left Victoria I was to return after two weeks as I had no idea of staying in NSW, so I had left everything behind including my sulky, two ponies, harness, saddles etc. I had to get my brother to sell everything.

After being in NSW a while, I bought a hairdressing business in Cootamundra with two barbers employed, so I set to learn the trade. After about two years I found one of the men to be a thief so sacked him, and carried on the shop for about 8 years and did well, but had got very sick and had to sell out. The doctor said I needed outside work. and so, on recovery, I bought 550 acres eight miles out at Brawlin, and had a new home built on it as I had sold my home in Cootamundra.

I bought 500 sheep and was a grazier for four years and eventually sold out.

I went to Grenfell to buy a Newsagency but although the two brothers had it for sale, when I got there one of them decided not to sell. I came back as far as Young and stayed the night, and met a man I knew from Cootamundra who was working at Young and boarding with a hairdresser who wanted to sell. I saw him the next morning and decided to buy it, and at one time was employing three barbers, and a girl in the shop. I had a very large stock of tobacco and cigarettes and all hairdressing and smokers' equipment, and carried on the business with the addition of seeds and plants for thirty five years, very successfully. I bought the shop in 1921 and sold out and retired in 1954

I have had a very good life and have enjoyed having a family of four; Gwen, Audrey, Mona, & Ray, and they have all been very good to me throughout my life, and I hope that they will have as good a life as I have had.

LIFE IS WHAT ONE MAKES IT.

YOURS SINCERELY,

LESLIE JAMES ASPLAND.

Anecdote

1997

Biographical note written by her daughter Audrey Mote
Phyllis was the first child born to Louisa and Robert Mutch of 44 Crown Street, Cootamundra. She was born on Monday 6 July 1896 at Parker Street, Cootamundra, and was registered by her father, Robert Mutch, a farmer of 28 years, on 20th August 1896. The witness was Mrs Sharp.
Phyllis eventually had two brothers, Bert and Jack, and two sisters, Ethel and Elma.
Nothing is known at present of her early school days up until her teens when she worked in the office of Attwood's shop at Cootamundra. I also seem to remember that she worked at some time as a milliner, making and decorating ladies' hats.
It was in her teens that she met my Dad, Leslie James Aspland, who had come up to Cootamundra from Camperdown in Victoria, to be best man at his brother Bert's wedding. Les was staying with his sister Hilda and her husband Lloyd Holmes.
Evidently Phyllis saw this nice looking young stranger in town, dressed to the nines in a double breasted navy suit and fur felt swedish style hat, and decided to get to know him. And according to Leslie she often went out of her way to do just that. Anyway it must have worked for both of them as they were married in the Methodist Church in Cootamundra on 24th JULY, 1916 and travelled to Victoria for their honeymoon. It was a Monday night when Phyllis Nellie Mutch and Leslie James Aspland were married by Rev. Bellhouse. The bride was given away by her father, and wore a pretty frock of white crepe-de-chene, the bodice being daintily trimmed with satin and pearls, and lined with pale pink ninon. She wore the customary wreath and veile.
Miss Ethel Mutch was bridesmaid; her dress was of white cotton voile, trimmed with shadow lace. She also wore a mob cap of white tulle, lined with pale pink ninon, ninon roses, and velvet streamers. The bridegroom's gift to the bridesmaid was a cameo ring. Mr. E. Thompson acted as best man. The bride's mother wore a black costume.
At the end of the ceremony, the bridal party and guests adjourned to the residence of the bride's parents, "Glenroy", Crown Street, Cootamundra, where the wedding breakfast was held.
Later in the evening, the happy couple left by the express train for Camperdown, Victoria, where the honeymoon was spent. The bride's travelling dress was a navy coat and skirt , and a violet hat.
The bride's gift to the bridegroom was a pair of silver sleeve links, and the bridegroom's gift to the bride being an aquamarine pendant.
They came back to Cootamundra and settled, and Lloyd Holmes lent Les £275 to purchase a barber's shop. He had this for about 3 years and suffered fainting spells (probably from too much standing) so the Doctor advised a change of work.
I can imagine it was an important decision for them, but they eventually decided to try the land, and bought 550 acres at Brawlin (just out of Coota.) The purchase price was £4,000 and they borrowed £500 so I imagine it was an important step for them to take. They built a new home on the land and were there for 4 years.
My Dad then decided that he would very much like to own a paper shop, and on hearing of one for sale at Queanbeyan for £800, he tried to talk my Mother into going to have a look at it, but she was very definite and wouldn't consider it, as she said it was too far away from home and family. Evidently my Mother must have considered Grenfell close enough as Dad went across by train to inspect a paper shop there, but by the time he got there it was withdrawn from sale.
On the way home he stayed at the Great Eastern Hotel at Young overnight, and the next morning met a friend from Coota. in the street who told him of a hairdressing business for sale. He must have contacted Mum and she said she would come to Young, so next day he went down and bought the business from Mr. Stan McKellar. He did very well in the business and carried a very large stock of tobacco, and sometimes on Saturdays I would go down and run the shop part for him. Customers from the hairdressing used to bring their ticket out to me and I would attend to them.
Sometimes to make extra money Dad would bundle up plants that he had grown at home and sell them at the shop. He had his regular customers and did quite well, but it was a lot of hard work, and each night he could be found out in the garden in the dark with a lantern, digging up and bundling his plants, ready for the next day. He often told Bob (my husband) and me that he had been sorry not to have had a paper shop, so I think that was a dream that he didn't fulfil.
When my Mother and Father decided to come to Young, Dad bought a block of land on the Burrowa Road, now known as 5 Whiteman Avenue. Mr. Vogt built the house in 1922 and in fact Dad told me that the night I was born he could remember sitting on the floor joists as the floor wasn't finished, and that was where he received the news that he had another daughter. My elder sister Gwen was born while my parents were at Cootamundra. I guess I was a disappointment for them as I suppose they badly wanted a son. However they were to have another daughter Mona, before they finally got their son Ray .
My Mother lead a fairly quiet life as she was mostly a home person. She belonged to the Methodist Ladies' Church Aid but she didn't go along often. Her interests were sewing and gardening and she always kept her family and the house spotless. She liked dressing nicely, but she didn't have a lot of money, so the dressmaking helped a lot. She was often frustrated because of the shortage of money, and Bob (Gordon) my husband used to help her as much as he could, if she wanted any furniture or goods that he sold, in the furniture shop he was in.
This shortage of money often caused arguments between my parents - they were both strong willed, and neither would give in during an argument. They were not very compatible as the years rolled on, and they very rarely did anything, or went anywhere together. They drifted apart, and one day without any warning, my Mother moved out with the two children, Mona and Ray. Gwen and I were married . She moved to a home at 51 Nasmith Street, Young, and took in girl boarders to make ends meet.
Of course it was a great shock to my Father to come home from work one night and instead of finding his dinner waiting for him, to find most of the house empty of furniture, and his family gone.
This led to a divorce, a divorce I don't think either of them wanted, but both being pig-headed they couldn't talk to one another and admit how they really felt. None of the family took sides.
Dad put some boarders in his house and continued to live there for a time, until Mona married, and she and Pat Dwyer moved in with him and stayed.
Mum always suffered from Hayfever and Varicose Veins, and her legs must have gotten so bad that she went to Dr. Stocks to have some treatment for them. I wasn't living at Young at this time, but I believe she was having injections for them, and shortly after became ill and confined to her bed. I can never understand why the Doctor didn't put her in hospital, but perhaps she wouldn't go and leave Mona and Ray on their own to look after the boarders. Perhaps they didn't realise how serious it was, as I know for myself I didn't, and I didn't know at the time the nature of her illness.
Bob and I and our 2 children Robert and Jan were living at Bowral at this time, and towards evening I had an urge to ring Mum to see how whe was. Having no phone, we put our kids in the car and drove to Bowral P.O. to ring up. I went in to ring while Bob and Robert and Jan waited in the car. I got through O.K. and Teddy Brown (my brother-in-law) answered and said, " just a minute, Dr. Stocks wants to speak to you. " He came on and told me that Mum had just died. She got out of bed and died from a clot. It was a terrible shock.
On the death certificate it says she died from;
1 a Coronary embolism
1b Hepatic thrombosis cause of death
11 Severe neurasthemia
2 a 40 mins.
b ?
11 1 month duration of last illness
3 DR. STOCKS
27th JANUARY, 1948.

My Dad was a total wreck emotionally at the funeral, who knows what thoughts were going through his head. He retired from business not long after and spent his time in his garden which he really enjoyed, and he often came to us for holidays at Bowral and later when we moved to Goulburn. Then at other times he would travel to Victoria to visit with his many relatives and he was always a good letter writer. Bob and I were always interested in photography and one time when Dad was staying with us Bob suggested to Dad to buy a camera to take photos on his travels. They went down to see Ian Steele a friend of Bob's, who owned a camera store and bought one. From then on he took many lovely colour slides of the various gardens that were open for inspection like " MILTON PARK " at Bowral. He was very proud of the collection that he acquired.
Dad went on to live another 39 years after Mum died. His later years were spent at Mount Saint Joseph's Home, at Young, where he was very happy and very well cared for. He used to write to us every week until his eyesight failed, and then Bob & I made the decision to ring him every Sunday morning, and that continued until he died. He used to look forward to our calls, and was always waiting near the office. His health was very good, and right up until the end his memory was outstanding, even remembering things that we couldn't. He passed away quietly on 15th JULY, 1987, at the remarkable age of 97.

Four Generations Together For Gwen Brown's 80th Birthday
     Family members spanning four generations converged on Young last Wednesday to celebrate Gwen Brown's 80th birthday.
     People travelled from Melbourne, Gosford, Cootamundra and from just down the road to share this special day with Gwen.
     Gwen was born in the small village of Brawlin, near Cootamundra.
     When she was four years old her family moved to Young where her parents established the family home in Whiteman Avenue.
     When she left school at 14 she began working at Gilpin's store in Young.
     On Boxing day in 1934 she married Ted Brown, who she has shared the last 63 years with.
     Their first home together was an original two roomed hut on Ted's family property, "Trafalgar", three miles from Young.
     Later they moved to a property near Back Creek Road where they started a farm.
     In 1956 the couple decided to leave the land and moved into Young to run a corner store where the Caltex service station is today, on the corner of Boorowa and Zouch Streets.
     During her time in Young, Gwen has been an active member of the community.
     She has been part of the Young Women's Bowling Club, Young Garden Club, Probus Club, Neighbourhood Watch, Tidy Towns, and the Young Veteran and Vintage Car Club.
     As well as all this, Gwen had the time to raise four daughters and enjoy watching 11 grand children and 16 great grand children grow.

circa 26 December 2000

She was mentioned in an article in local newspaper, Young, NSW, Australia^G, circa 26 December 2000 as follows:

Special Celebration For Boxing Day
     For most people, December 26 is Boxing Day, a day for watching the cricket and the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race.
     But in one home at the Young Retirement Village this Boxing Day, two people celebrated a marriage that has been going strong for 66 years.
     Ted and Gwen Brown have both spent their lives in Young, and have been together since their marriage at the Anglican Church by Reverand McKeown, in 1934.
     Ted remembers Young in 1925 when there were still gravel roads, as he used to deliver milk from his family's dairy.
     This year, their anniversary was acknowledged by means of transcript, received from Queen Elizabeth II, Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Australian Governor General Sir William Dean, and Federal Member for Hume, Alby Schultz.
     The Brown's, who have been at the retirement village for a little over a year now, celebrated their anniversary this year with friends and family.
     A family that is, by the way, quite large. The Brown's boast four daughters, 11 grandchildren, and 19 great grandchildren.
     The family is so large in fact that a tally had to be done to work out just how many there were.
     Gwen highlighted the importance of the family unit and patience to keeping a good marriage alive.
     "They're like birds in a nest, they all fly out sooner or later," Gwen said.
     Ted said the many years of marriage had certainly been hard work, but it was a very rewarding experience.

Anecdote

1997

Autobiographical note written by Gwen Brown

My memory takes me back to when I was four years old when my father took me on a horse up a hill on our property at Brawlin, to dig out rabbits. He was digging at a burrow when he said, "Oh, there are some baby rabbits in here", and of course I leaned over the hole to have a look, inquisitive like, just as he lifted the pick out of the hole and it hit me in the corner of my eye; I have the scar to this day. Dad (Les Aspland) was so upset and it was a wonder that he never fainted as he was good at that - even on the night that I was born, so he told me. Anyhow, he put me on the horse and quickly rode home.

My school days at Young Primary, after leaving Cootamundra at the age of four years, are memorable regards a ringworm I had once on the point of my nose when I was eight years old. The doctor prescribed black ointment to be put on it. I hated going to school. I was also made to wear a pair of shoes I disliked very much because they had a strap across the instep and very thick crepe soles.

My High School days were better as I loved sport and was always chosen in sports events. In 1928 I won a silver medal in the shape of a shield for running and I will always treasure it. I achieved the Intermediate Certificate in third year and left school at the age of fourteen.

I started work at O Gilpins store for a weekly wage of seven shillings and nine pence (79 cents) of which I gave my mother five shillings (50 cents). After working there for twelve months I left and went and worked for a Mr Wareham who owned the store named C.D.S. I never did ask what those letters stood for. My wage then was seventeen shillings and sixpence ($1.75) per week and I was still giving my mother five shillings per week. I thought I was made; I even bought a wardrobe and dressing table for my bedroom. When I got married my mother said, "You had better take that with you as you will need it". Even up to this day it causes a lot of laughs between our four daughters as, one day when they were young, they were playing hide and seek; one hid in the wardrobe and broke through the bottom of it.

I fell in love with my husband Ted Brown and we were married on 26th December 1934. We have four daughters and have had a very happy and interesting life together. We have just celebrated our 61 years of marriage. On our fortieth anniversary one of our grandsons asked his grandfather, "How do you live so long with one person?"; he made us a leather medal.

Ted, when we were married, was a dairyman on his father's dairy. We also had a poultry farm and when the girls were older we moved to town (Young) and bought a mixed business, stayed in that for eight and a half years (1956 - 1964) and then we retired. I now play bowls after giving up tennis and have achieved something that hasn't been done in the club for over twenty odd years. In 1994 I won the "Grand Slam" in our club (YWBC) Championships. Skipped the fours, triples and pairs then won the singles. I also helped win a pennant for the club the same year and was chosen by the council and tourism committees as "Sports Person of the Year". I was presented with an engraved silver tray of which I am very proud.
