"THE AULD HOOSE"
"THE AULD HOOSE"
A recent visitor to the district interested in the pioneer, home ,of the Herbert-Limmer family (still occupied by Mrs. Limmer sen.) con tributes the following:-
The cottage was a thatched one,
Tho' not the one we mean,
'Tis on the 'banks of 'Arthur's Creek
This famous one is seen..
Full four score' years and more ago
This humble home, was reader,
In days when land '.was very rough
And scarce a bit was cleared.
'Twas made of slabs and palings
Cut from .the trees around,
And placed in good position
In level central ground;
The 'pioneers grew cereals
And feed for horse and cow,
In" days when markets, roads and towns
Were not the same as now.
And this old house was modern,
Its shingled gables 'high,
Not roofed as now with iron
Which glist'ning meets the eye;
In those days bullock waggons
.The produce carted out,
And sparsely scattered farmlets
Were coming round about.
'Twas there that' Grandma Limmer
First saw the light they say,
And full of years this honest soul
Is dwelling there to-day;
Camp ovens were the latest stoves
And wood was easy got;
The trees they felled helped clear the land
Made fertile every lot.
The pioneers were hardy,
Brave women and brave men,
To-day we pay our tribute
To those who toiled so then;
And in this verse acknowledge true,
The homage that we owe
To those who made our history,
And successes that we know.
The while we gaze. upon the site,
Where this old house still stands,
Remembering its builders
We'd .respond to Life's demands;
May 'we, and those who've yet to live'
And learn of lessons past,
Like these great pioneers, build well
The things- that long shall last.
Facilities that we enjoy,
And e'en 'the district's name,
These early settlers bravely made
And earned awarded fame. 'May this old house inspire us
Example good to take,
That of our lives,because of-theirs,
Best future we may make.
-"BEE" 8/4/33.

MATTHEWS - HERON
The marriage of Elleanor Patricia Heron, the elder daughter and step-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reg Hosie, Botany Street, Morwell, to Alan A. ("Mick") Matthews, eldest son of the late Mr. W. Matthews and Mrs. Matthews, Morwell, took place on December 16 at the Sacred Heart Church, Morwell. The celebrant was the Rev. Fr. Dwyer.
The bride looked very charming as she. entered the church on the arm of her father. Her beautifully trained gown was of ivory satin and was cut on classical lines; her embroidered tulle veil was held in place by a coronet of orange blossom, and she carried St. Joseph lilies. She was attended by her sister, Miss Clare Hosie, and the Misses Marie and Joan Drew, of Sale, who were all frocked alike in rose pink organdie and wore pretty pink lace halos and carried pink carnations and delphiniums. The bridegroom was attended by his cousin, Mr. Allan Wright, as best man, and Mr. J. Halstead (uncle of bride) and Mr. L. Berryman as groomsmen. The organ music was supplied by Mrs. J. Bridgeman and during the signing of the register the hymn "O Salutaris" was beautifully sung by Mrs. O'Callaghan.
A reception was held in the Masonic Hall, where about 50 quests were entertained. Later the happy couple left by the evening train to spend a honeymoon in Ballarat, the bride travelling in a dusty pink frock with white accessories and wore a shoulder spray of frangipani. Their future home will be in Dandenong.

Notes
General:
at the 1871 census, Elizabeth aged 71 was staying with James Hesketh and his family at Liverpool House Crossens, North Meols. James Hesketh aged 54 is a farmer of 4 acres. Could this be a brother or nephew of Elizabeth nee Hesketh. I note there are many place names that contain the name Hesketh, in this area.
At the 1881 census Elizabeth is head and living with her is her daughter, Alice Young and her husband Robert, a bricklayer.

DAMAGE BY BUSH FIRES.
Caused by Carelessness.
£499 Damages Awarded.
On February 11 a large tract of country in the Kangaroo Ground and Diamond Creek districts, was swept by a bush fire, and considerable damage was done to fencing and buildings. Among the farmers over whose properties the fire passed was Robert Crowsdale Bourchier, grazier, of Kangaroo Ground.
Before Deputy Judge Foster, at , Melbourne on Friday, Bourchier brought an action against Murdoch Alexander Hewitt, contractor, of Diamond Creek,' and Jonathan Hewitt, of Diamond Creek, farmer, claiming £499 for damage to property said to have been caused as the result of defendants' negligence in permitting a fire which had been lighted by either or both of them in an adjoining paddock to remain. Bourchier claimed that an area of 561 acres of grass on his properly and 1,849 fencing posts were destroyed, four miles of fencing wire was damaged, and a quantity of cut and uncut fire wood was burnt. In addition, a saw bench was destroyed, and an oil engine was damped.
The case for Bourchier was that on February 9 both Hewitts, who were father and son, were carting wood out of a paddock two miles from Bourchier's property. At midday they lighted a fire to boil a billy for the midday meal. They left the paddock later in the afternoon without having extinguished the fire properly. About 4 o'clock a fire broke out near the place at which the Hewitts had boiled their billy. Neighbors fought the fire until exhausted, and help was obtained. The outbreak was held in check. Next day the fire was still held in check, but on the morning of February 11 a northerly wind sprang up and the fire swept over a wide tract of country, taking Bourchier's properly in its path.
Bourchier alleged that insufficient care was taken by the Hewitt's to see that their fire was properly extinguished; and that the bush fire was caused by their carelessness. Evidence given by both Hewitts (was that when they left the spot at which they had their -midday meal they stamped out the fire effectively. The bush fire could not have sprung up from that point.
Deputy Judge Foster said that the evidence showed that there was a track of fire through a grass area from the point at which the Hewitts had boiled their billy to the scrub country which eventually was swept by the larger fire. It had been suggested that the bush fire might have been caused by the carelessness of some other persons, but he was of opinion that there was something more than coincidence in the billy fire, the track therefrom to the heavier scrub, and the resulting bush fire.
I am satisfied," continued Deputy Judge Foster, "that the fire lighted by the Hewitts on February 9 caused the conflagration which was quelled on that day, but which broke out again on the Friday. The defence was that the billy fire was effectively stamped out, but I am satisfied that it was not. The surrounding country was of a highly inflammable nature, and, moreover, it was the middle of summer. Experienced persons should have known of the great danger. I think that the Hewitts were guilty of gross carelessness in the circumstances. People who light fires in the summer time in country covered with grass, and who do not take elaborate precautions to extinguish their fires, are guilty of great negligence. Both the Hewitts knew that within a few chains of the place where they lighted their fire there was a reasonably safe place for such a fire in the bottom of a dry dam. They had a water-bag containing water, which they might have used to ensure that their fire was quite extinguished.
Judgment was given for Bourchier for the damages claimed,with costs.
