A WOMAN'S DEATH.
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.
DENILIQUIN, Saturday. - The circumstances surrounding the death of a married woman named Christina Cadman, who died at Conargo, a town ship about twenty miles from Deniliquin, were investigated yesterday afternoon before the coroner, Mr. M. C. O'Neill and a jury of five. Dr. Moyes deposed to having made a post mortem examination of the body. Deceased was between 30 and 40 years of age. There were no external marks of violence, with the exception of a small bruise on the left forehead. There was a quantity of extravasated blood between the skull cap and the cranium, which caused some pressure on the brain substance, and was the cause of death. The effused blood was due to rupture of a vessel in the brain, and was caused, he believed, by direct violence, either a blow on the bead or a violent fall against some solid substance. Alexandrina Callaghan and her husband, Denis Callaghan, stated that as they were returning home from the Conargo races, and were passing Cadman's house, they saw Mrs. Cadman lying partly in and partly outside an out house. She was alive, but insensible. When Callaghan lifted the woman up he noticed that one arm was doubled underneath her side. Witness knew that the woman was addicted to drink. Eliza Robertson stated that she saw Mrs. Cadman at Rogers's hotel, at Conargo, on the morning of the races. She saw her have some beer. Mr. Cadman went into the bar during the afternoon and said he could not find his wife. W. J. McKies deposed that he had seen Europeans and Indians frequent ing deceased's house when her husband was away at work. He told Cadman about it. At this stage the inquest adjourned until Monday.

A Child Drowned.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.
A very sad tragedy occurred at Vesper, half way between Noojee and Warburton, shortly after midnight on, Monday, 16th inst., when the discovery was made by Mr. Benjamin Wilson and his son that a daughter Gladys Margaret, aged 13 years, was drowned in an underground tank at the rear of their home. With the assistance of neighbors, who were living a mile away, an improvised grappling iron was made from a piece of stout wire, and with this the body of the child was brought to the surface.
The Neerim South and Warragul police were apprised of the tragedy, and on their arrival the mother was taken into the West Gippsland Hospital for medical examination. A Coronial inquiry was opened on Wednesday morning at the Warragul Court House, before Mr. J. W. Freeman, P.M., but only formal evidence by the father was taken. He stated that he had last seen his daughter alive as she was going to bed that night (Monday), and did not know of anything unusual until after midnight, when he and his son heard a strange noise They rose, and went outside, and soon afterwards made the dreadful discovery. On the application of Senior Constable Gunther, the inquiry was adjourned until May 4th.

Vesper Tragedy
GIRL DROWNED IN WELL
OPEN VERDICT RETURNED
The sad circumstances surrounding the death of Gladys Margaret Wilson, of Vesper, near Noojee, whose body was found in a well at the home of her parents on 17th April were ventilated at the adjourned coronial inquiry conducted at the 'Warragul court house on Friday last. The Bench was occupied by the Coroner, 'Mr. J. W. Freeman ,P.M., and Mrs. J. A. Mann, J.P. The inquiry was conducted by Superintendent J. D. Mackenzie and a number of witnesses were examined. The father and brother of the dead girl were present, but the mother is now an inmate at Mont Park and a certificate was produced stating that she was not in a fit condition to attend the court.
Senior Constable Gunther.
The first evidence taken was that of Senior-Constable H. F. Gunther, who stated that he had forwarded a report of the tragedy to the Superintendent of Police at Sale, stating that it would be necessary to have the attendance of Mrs Wilson, but a certificate had since been received from the Mont Park superintendent intimating that she would not be present. On the 20th April, at 7 p.m., witness said he saw Janet Wilson, the mother of the girl lying in bed at the West Gippsland Hospital, Warragul. He said to her, "Do you know me?" She replied that she did not. When asked her name, she replied, "Mrs Wilson." He then explained that he was Mr Gunther, but she said she did not know him. He then said to her, "Do you remember Monday night, April 17th," but she replied "No." When asked where she was on that night, she said "I don't know. I may have been home. I remember coming here to the hospital last Monday. They brought me in a car." He then questioned her about her home and asked "Who slept with you when you were at home." She answered. " I slept with Gladys." When asked where Gladys was at that moment she answered "At her home now." She stated she was not feeling too well and then shook hands with him and said "I am glad you called to see me.'
The Coroner: Was there anyone with you at this interview?
Senior-Constable Gunther: Yes, Dr. Trumpy and Mr. J. Cromie, J.P.
Continuing, witness said that on 20th April, he measured the top of an underground tank at the home of Mr Wilson. at Vesper, and it measured 26 1/2 inches. and there was 5 feet 11 inches of water in the tank. He was present when Constable Duke took five photographs showing different parts of the homestead, including the back yard and the underground tank. The house was of weatherboard with an iron roof, and had seven rooms. From Gladys' room to the kitchen door was 18 feet, and from her room to the underground tank was 45 feet. From the son's room to the tank was 32 feet and the father's room was 30 feet away from the tank. A broken lid over the top of the tank made of split palings was three feet square and the well was 12 feet deep.
Medical Evidence.
Dr. Oswald Robert Trumpy, medical practitioner, said he could corroborate what Senior-Constable Gunther had said in regard to the interview. On April 18th he conducted a postmortem examination on the body of Gladys Wilson. It was the body of a well developed girl, aged. about 13 years. There were no marks of external violence. In his opinion the cause of death was drowning . He admitted the mother, Janet Wilson, to the West Gippsland Hospital, about 5.30 a.m. on the previous day,
April 17th. The woman appeared very collapsed and mentally her condition was very poor. She could give absolutely no account of anything that had happened during the night, and she only complained of being unable to sleep. She could not give satisfactory answers to questions. Her condition remained much the same during her stay in the hospital. She was generally quiet, but at times she had hysterical outbursts. He gave a certificate that she was a fit subject for the receiving home.
Mr. Freeman: Have you examined Mrs. Wilson?
Dr. Trumpy: No, but from what she told him, he considered that she had been off for some time, particularly when she stated that she had not been able to sleep.
Father Gives Evidence.
Benjamin Wilson, on taking the oath, had read to him the statement he made at the original inquiry, and corroborated it. Wilson said he was a farmer, living at Vesper. His wife had resided with him up to April 17th. on the 16th April he retired to bed at 10.30 p.m. His wife and Gladys went to bed about an hour before him. That was the last time he saw Gladys alive. He had more than once seen his wife carrying Gladys, when asleep, from the parlor to her bedroom, but not within the last year or so. Mrs. Wilson and Gladys sleep in the same bed and he occupied another room by himself. He had slept in it for the past two years. He could not say whether his wife had slept in her night dress on that Monday night. They had lived happily together. About 11.50 p.m. he heard some noises and it sounded like cats fighting or a bull roaring in the distance. He heard the same noise on two occasions. He heard his son Willie speaking to his wife, but he did not hear what she said. He called out and said "What's that?" Willie replied., "Wasn't it you" and he answered "No." Then Willie replied that it must be a cat or something in the well and they both then went out to investigate. Looking out of the back door, it was noticed that the lid of the well was off. It could be fairly easily lifted off. The tank was 30 feet from the house. After going outside, they returned to his wife's room, and Willie said to his mother, "Where is Gladys?" She merely leaned over to one side, but did not appear to realise anything properly. They looked into the tank again but they could not see anything. He said to Willie, "There are splashes on the side of the tank," and then he got a rope (produced) and tied it to the pump, throwing the other end into the tank. When he saw the splashes he thought Gladys might be in the tank. Willie went for a ladder and put that in the tank also. After Willie had felt about the bottom of the tank with the ladder for the body, without result, he told him to go for assistance. Charles Catto, a neighbor, came over quickly, and he descended the ladder and recovered the body of Gladys. His wife appeared" to worry a good deal, the greatest worry he thought being the fact that they were not doing too well on the property. She also worried over the drowning in the same tank of her infant daughter, Sarah Anne, some four years ago. His wife's health had been good up to about last Christmas. Since then she has complained of not sleeping too well at night. On the Friday before the death of Gladys she had been a examined by Dr Ley. His wife did not have a religious belief known as Coneyite. She had said at the dinner time of the day of Gladys death that she thought she would soon be in Mont Park. His wife had been strange in her manner for some time.
To the Coroner: His wife was always kind and considerate to Gladys and he would say she was very attached to her.
Mentally Unstrung.
Dr Conrad Lee, medical practitioner, stated that he had examined Mrs. Janet Wilson-on April 13th. The general state of health was good, but she was certainly unstrung mentally. She complained of various conditions which were not present.
To the Coroner: She made no reference to any persons at all, other than herself.
Brother Heard a Noise.
William Benjamin Wilson, a brother of deceased. 18 years of age, said he resided with his parents at Vesper. On the night of the tragedy he went to bed at 10.45 p.m., but at 11.45 p.m. he heard a noise. He heard what sounded like someone walking in their bare feet from the back door past his bedroom. His bedroom was between the back door and his mother's room. He called out to his mother, "What are you doing?" and she answered "Nothing." He heard the noise again, it getting louder and louder, and then died away. He realised it could not be his father, and he called out to him. When they eventually got to the tank,they found the lid lying against the top of the tank. He pointed out the splashes and then he departed to get assistance. He went to Green's about half a mile away and asked him to go and look for Gladys. He also went to Mr Adams and returned with him to his home. On arrival they saw Mr Catto lifting Gladys out of the tank.
To the Coroner: His mother had never mentioned anything about the underground tank so far as he knew. Since the death of his sister, he thought his mother had forgotten about the tank.
The Body Recovered.
Charles Victor Catto, of Vesper, Country Roads Board engine driver, said he was asked to come and look for the girl, Gladys. He went to the well at the back of the house and saw the lid was off. He made a hook of a piece of strong of strong fencing wire and attached it to a hoe handle. He descended the well. on the ladder to the surface of the tank. He caught the body almost immediately, and brought it to the surface. It was taken into the house, and they tried unsuccessfully to resuscitate the girl, who was dressed in a night-gown, with some thick woolen garment underneath.
Bush Nurse Gives Evidence.
Katherine Beatrice Rafferty, bush nurse at Noojee, stated that she was called to Mr Wilson's home at Vesper about 2 a.m. on April 17th. She saw Mrs Wilson, who was partly dressed, but had no night dress. The woman constantly repeated the word "'Bub," and was trembling violently, while her pulse was almost gone. She applied the usual remedies to Mrs Wilson, who appeared to be waking out of a trance or a deep sleep. She asked Mr Wilson how long Mrs Wilson had been in that state, and he said "Ever since she done----" He did not finish the sentence. Mrs Wilson recovered and then asked why she (witness) was there. She told her she was the nurse from Noojee, and that she had had a bad turn. Mrs Wilson then said, "Oh, I have been dreadful. I know I have." She asked where Gladys was and they told her they had taken her to another room. She said she had been ill for a long time. She told witness she had been to a doctor, but that she thought she had been worse since she was under treatment. Mrs Wilson, on being told they were going to take her to hospital, said, "What shall I do with Gladys." I never leave her alone. Let me take her with you, will you?" They told her they had taken Gladys to a neighbor's house. Witness said to her, "You would not like Gladys to see you as you are now, would you," and she answered, "No, I would not." Mrs Wilson was being dressed by her during this time and said she could not remember where she put any thing. She stated to witness that she had not slept for such a long time." When asked why she had not sought her (Nurse Rafferty's) aid before, Mrs Wilson said, "I told the men, but they only laughed at me. You know what men are." Later Mrs Wilson said, "'The house haunts me, I have been lonely for months." Witness stated that she then left Mrs Wilson for a few minutes and then told her they were ready to leave the house. Mrs Wilson said, "Let me say good-bye to Gladys," but she told her they could not keep the car waiting. As she was getting her clothes together, Mrs. Wilson said, "Leave that comb for Gladys to do her hair with." She made Mrs Wilson's bed, and noticed that there was a slight amount of dust at the foot of the bed clothes. She accompanied her to the West Gippsland Hospital. She was in a state ,of collapse.
To the Coroner:Mrs Wilson had her stockings on.
Constable Aldous.
Constable WV. H.. Aldous gave evidence of having gone to Vesper at 1.30 a.m. on the 17th April.in response to a telephone message from Mrs Adams, at Vesper post office. They arrived at 2.15 a.m. at the Wilson's home, where they saw Wilson and his son, and the body of the child Gladys in another room. The girl's night dress was wet, as was also her hair, but there appeared .to be' no: marks of violence on the body, excepting some parallel lines on the back which could have been caused by the hook. The mother was in the room, and was trembling violently. He had the body of the girl conveyed to the mortuary at the Warragul Hospital Open Verdict Returned.
After hearing the evidence, Mr. Freeman returned a finding that Gladys Margaret Wilson, of Vesper met her death as the result of drowning in an underground tank and that there was not sufficient evidence to show how or by what means she came to be in the tank.

A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
HANGS HIMSELF IN A STABLE
AT NORTH WOOD.
On Sunday morning the usual quiet of the Northwood district was disturbed by the news that a suicide had taken place on the farm, of Mr. John Ross, at Dairy Bend, near the Goulburn River, about nine miles from Seymour, and that the victim was a son of Mr. Ross', aged 22 years. The sad news proved too true, for some time during the previous night or early that morning John Ross, junr., had destroyed himself in a most determined manner. The. modusoperandi employed on the occasion was to securely fasten a rope to the ridge pole of the stable, doubles in such a manner that it would be almost impossible to break it.
It appears however, that with the weight of the body one of the strands did break, but the remaining three were sufficiently strong to enable the rash young man to carry out his object successfully. From the position in which the body was found also there was not the slightest doubt as to the determination with which the victim carried out his purpose, for had he felt so inclined he could have secured a good foothold on a manger near by and thus relieved the strain on his neck. The discovery was made at an early hour on Sunday morning by one of deceased's brother's entering the stable to get a horse. In quick time the body was cut down, but not in time to be of any avail. for on examination the body was found to be quite rigid and cold, showing plainly that the vital spark had fled long before the brother had entered the stable and met the horrible sight. From what we are able to glean as to the circumstances which led up to the perpetration of the rash act, it would appear that young Ross has suffered more or less from insomnia for some time past; but nothing in the evidence bore out this theory. It is probable therefore that the cause of the young man's derangement will ever remain a mystery.
The Magisterial inquiry was held on Monday at Mr. Ross' farm, before Mr. E. O'Callaghan, J.P., when the following evidence was adduced :
John Ross, farmer, residing at Northwood, said - The deceased, John Ross was my son. He was 22 years of age last birthday, and always resided with me. I last saw him alive between 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday night, the 24th inst., when he appeared in good health. He had been working on the farm on that day. On Sunday morning I called him to get up, but got no answer. I then Awakened the girls. They got up and went out to the kitchen. They then took deceased's clothes into his bedroom, but found he was not there. The next I heard was the members of the family all crying" out ",Jack has hanged himself. I at once ran to the stable and saw deceased's body Hanging. He was quite dead. I assisted to hold the body while my son William cut it down. The body was hanging by a plough rein which was fastened to the ridge pile of the stable. On Wednesday last he complained of a bad head. He went to Seymour that day and consulted Mr. Gibbs, chemist, who prescribed for him. He returned the same day and appeared all right. There was nothing that I know of to distract his mind. He was on good terms with the whole of the family. I do not know any reason why he should have taken his life.
William Ross said the deceased, John Ross, was his brother. Deceased slept in, the same room as I did on Saturday night. My brother Thomas also occupied the same room. When I went to bed that night at 12 o'clock the deceased was in bed. He got up, went out for a few minutes and then returned. I made a remark to my brother Tom, who was sleeping in the same bed as deceased, that I would not hit the stump he was taking out. Deceased only asked what we were talking about. About 7 a.m. on Sunday my sister came into the room with our clothes, and said, "Jack's up."
Soon after my brother Tom came running down saying ,Jack had hung himself in the stable. I at once got up and ran to the stable, where I saw my brother's body hanging from the ridge pole. While the body was being held up by my father and brother I cut the rope. The body was then quite cold. I assisted in removing the body to the house. Deceased always appeared to be in good health, but last Wednesday I heard he was going to see the chemist. On Friday he said to me, " I wish I had seen the doctor instead of the chemist." He said if I only knew the pain he suffered I would not believe it. Only those who had it knew how he suffered. He did not describe the pain. I knew from his condition on Friday that he was suffering pain, as he was shedding tears, and gave me to understand that he did not feel fit for work. I advised him to take a spell, and suggested he should go to the seaside. Deceased had met with an accident caused by a falling tree, which struck him on the head. I know of no reason why he should take his life.
Thomas Ross, brother of deceased, said - I occupied the same room as deceased on Saturday night last. I last saw him alive when the last witness went to bed about 12 o'clock. Between 7 and 8 o'clock on Sunday morning my sister called me, when I found my brother John had left the bed. Immediately on getting up I went to the stable, and on looking through the opening of the door I saw the deceased hanging. I at once called my brother and sister, who, together with my father, ran to the stable. I assisted my father to hold up the body while the last witness cut it down. He appeared quite dead. Since seeing the chemist he complained to me that his previously injured check, always felt quite cold, and that he had to keep it covered when in bed. He said he could not sleep very well at night. I am not aware that he had any trouble which would cause him to take his life.
Margaret Ross said deceased was her brother. ????????????????????? kitchen, when he stated he was troubled through not being able to sleep, and that he would be better dead than alive. Previous to deceased making that statement I was not aware that he was suffering any pain.
A verdict was returned of suicide whilst suffering from temporary insanity.
The remains of the unfortunate young man were interred in the Seymour Cemetery yesterday afternoon, a large concourse of the friends of the deceased's family joining in the funeral cortege.
The Rev. J. Neville, of the Presbyterian church conducted the ceremony at the grave. Mr. Oak carried out the funeral arrangements.

DIVORCE PETITIONER DIES.
TRAGIC END TO SUIT.
Widow's Hysterical Outburst.
An announcement that the petitioner had been found dead on his premises brought a divorce suit to a sudden end before the Chief Justice (Sir William Irvine) yesterday.
The case came before the Divorce Court a week ago, when Conrad Schmidt (63), of 135 Maribyrniong road, Ascotvale, baker, petitioned for a divorce from Margaret Schmidt (54), whom he married on March 13, 1909). The ground was that respondent had deserted him since December, 1916. Petitioner stated that he did not know the whereabouts of the respondent, and that he had no means of ascertaining them. He married the respondent consequent upon seeing a matrimonial advertisement which she had inserted in a newspaper. He had never met any of her relatives. After the marriage respondent neglected her household duties, and would not be bothered with looking after his baker's shop. They had several quarrels about this, and she told him on one occasion that "a loose leg suited her better than married life."
The Chief Justice adjourned the case, and caused inquiries to be made for the where-about's of the respondent, who appeared before him yesterday. She stated that she had learnt the day before for the first time that her husband was taking divorce Proceedings against her. She lived with her brother, Thomas Ross, at Northwood, 12 miles from Seymour.
The Chief Justice.- Why did not the petitioner know where to find you?
Respondent.- He did know where I was. He has written to me several times while I have been there. Before I left him he spoke of getting a divorce as soon as he could, and asked me where I would be in three years. I told him that I would be with my brother.
Replying to petitioner's allegations, of which she then heard for the first time, respondent said that she had left him in 1912 for three months, because he was violent to her. In 1916 he locked her out of the house, and as he and his son-her stepson-were in the habit of ill-using her she left him. She had never refused to look after her husband's shop.
The Chief Justice said that the petitioner, who, although notified, had failed to attend, must be summoned to the court. He must have an opportunity of explaining his previous statements. The matter could not rest where it was.
When the Court resumed after the lunch adjournment, and while Mr. Jose, who appeared for the petitioner, was cross examining the respondent, a messenger announced that he had been to Schmidt's premises and found him Iying dead at the rear of his stable. The body had been removed to the Morgue.
The Chief Justice said that the case would be struck out of the list. Respondent broke into hysterical laughter, and left the box crying, '"I am free! I am free!"
It is stated that between 11 and half-past 11 o'clock yesterday, morning, Schmidt called at a bank in Ascotvale, and took away a sealed package. A search for the package was made, but it could not be found.

JOHN LACHLAN ROSS, his wife Sarah, and son-in-law Robert Cain.
John Lachlan Ross [my great-grandfather] was born on the 5th May 1866 at Newstead in Victoria. His father was recorded as George Thomas Ross, and was born in Eriboll, Durness, Sutherland, Scotland, and baptised 4th April 1829. His given name was George Tulloch Ross. He died Echuca, Victoria in 1901. His occupation in Newstead was 'miner".
George Ross and Christina Sutherland were married 14th July 1851, Bonar Bridge, Sutherland.
George's parents were Lachlan Ross and Ann Fraser. Lachlan Ross was born 1791, Kincardine, Ross-shire to Alexander Ross and Anne MacGregor, who married 2nd June 1779, Per, Perthshire. Anne MacGregor was born 1762 in Forfar, Angus, and died 1st February 1845.
Lachlan Ross and Ann Fraser married 11th December 1819, Creich, Sutherlands. Lachlan was the Grieve/Bailiff [Foreman] for Alexander Clarke, a sheep farmer of Eriboll. Lachlan used the name of Clarke for his son John Clarke Ross.
Ann Fraser was born 1791, Inverness and died 1837, aged 47 at Durness. Lachlan Ross died 4th May 1879, at Thurso, Caithness. He was buried at Eriboll Burial Ground.
His monumental inscription: Lachlan Ross, native parish of Kincardine, Ross-shire, faithful servant more than 50 years in family Clarkes of Eriboll,

Christy died at Newstead 22nd May 1899.
[Christy gave the name of Crypool, Sutherland, Scotland as to where she was born, but I have not been able to trace that name, even when I was in contact with a Scottish site. This name is on John Lachlan Ross' birth registration. The name may have sounded like Crypool to the person who registered the birth. It may have been a Gaelic name, or even the name of a farm.]
George 24, his wife Christy 27, and daughter Hughina , arrived Moreton Bay 16th January 1855, on the "William Miles". George was listed as a labourer, and it was stated that they both could read.
As they had arrived in Queensland they may have been unassisted migrants. Possibly their passages were paid for by the Clarke family.
John Lachlan Ross arrived in South Australia some time before 1887. It appears that his sisters Alexandrina and Hughina, with their husbands, had both lived in South Australia, at least around 1883-1884, as they both had children born there. It is possible he either travelled with them or joined them later.
Sara Bugg, aged 22 and John Lachlan Ross, aged 24 years, were married 15th September 1887. Her father was listed as William Bugg, however most other records have him listed as Henry Bugg. Her mother was Mary Ann Hams.

Sarah and John also raised Wilbur Mitchell Ross born 4th June 1909.
Sarah/Fanny Ross died 22nd July 1938 at Helmsdale. [My mother had said that her grandmother's name was Sarah, but in the Birth Registers her name was always given as Fanny, and in the register of her death and burial. It is only in the Marriage Register is this name given as Sarah].
Christina Ross married Robert Cain on 28th February 1920. Her age was 31, and he was 35 years old. His father was Michael Cain, and he came from Victoria. Christina died 25th February 1957, and her husband died 12th September 1865.

Their daughter Eileen Gwenda was born 16th June 1914. [my mother]
Their son Walter Ernest was born 17th December 1917.
Ruby died on 20th December 1917, 3 days after the birth of her son Walter.

Lachlan Ross may have had additional children, as they census were carried out 10 years apart it is likely that is the case.
