1) 2nd March 1933 Postmark Katanning. 23 Napier Street, Cottesloe, W.
Australia - Dear Lily, I am at a loss as regards what to say, I can only say
I am not over the shock of such a terrible blow, I take it very hard indeed
& think poor old Mother needed a better end to her hard hard life. I think
if I had been home I may perhaps have been of some use & I may have been
able to persuade mother to take to bed sooner, but as you say perhaps Gods
way is best, at least we can only trust so. I do hope you are over your bad
time long ago, also all the others, I am writing also to Charlie poor boy,
he must have had a terrible time. Well now Lillie, you wanted my advice
about what should be done but I am wondering does it matter much about me
seeing I am so far away & would anything I said be listened to, but one
think I do say is that you & Charlie must see the younger ones get fair play
& for my sake see that there is young ones & do your best for them now their
best friend ever they had or ever will have is gone. I will ask a little
favour of you all, if you can all agree to it & this is it, could I have the
(King William tea set) & my sash (orange sash) I ask this as many a time I
said I would like them as I was the only orangeman in the family. Well
Lillie I wish you & Davie good health in the future & hope that you try your
best to get over our blow, as it is all I am now trying to do. I had no
letter from Ida & think it pretty hard of her but nevermind, I shall by
God's help do my Best. Give all the others my sympathy & I hope them to all
be of one mind & do what is best. Yours in all , Your Brothers John xxx

2) c/o Bose 12, Ballidu, W. Australia. Please don't fail me Lillie, John. -
Dear Lillie, You will have a fit when you get this from me, how long is it
since I wrote, best we forget I think. Well I hope all are doing well &
enjoying good health, as for myself I feel fair but health has not been the
best the last 3 or 4 years, its all the kidneys & I have to be careful, I am
now in the country as I had to get away to where its warmer & more dry, just
shows how much chance I would have of living in Ireland now. Well Lillie
I'll be candid regards my failing to write to you & the others, this was
really done to forget about a certain person. I did my best, & I also asked
her to come out here but she refused, she even sent me the engagement ring,
but wanted it returned later which I consented to - but there's no
engagement now between us as far as I am concerned, No. I will never forget
what I said when I got the ring returned. Now I am going to part a secret to
you & I hope you are good enough to live up to the confidence I put in you.
I am getting married at Xmas 1937 and would like you to send me the tea set,
that mother left (King William ones) I will bear all expenses incurred if
you let me know the amount it will be, all I will have of the old home &
mother & Gods know I have been through enough the last six years to deserve
this. I am enclosing photo of my intended, Lillie, & hope you will return it
to me again, its best to do so. I won't dwell on this as you may not agree
with me, but you know I done my part & I explained how I could not go back
home again, but somehow it was no good so I have chosen one who was good to
me & I know who is honest & true & understands my position. I don't want you
to say anything to people who talk & scandalise, so use your good judgment
to whom you tell this to. If you can still be my sister, I will not forget
to write in future, I hope you will understand me in this. And now I want
you to do me a big favour, would you get my Birth Certificate for me or a
copy, as I have joined a Prudential Fund at work, incidentally I am with the
(Shell Oil Coy. Australia Ltd.) & I must have my birth lines as soon as
possible, I'll fire you up by return of post in all expenses. Please do not
fail me as a Sister as this is a very important thing & will be the cause of
my dismissal if I cannot produce my lines within a certain Period. I will
say this Lillie, it would have been better for me never to have left old
Ireland in the beginning but as things are now they must remain. You can
write to above address or if you like to my intended address - J. A.
Stewart, 6 Rose Street, Cottesloe, W. Australia. I never bother with any of
the ones I used to know as I am always away in the country. Hoping all are
well & that Davie & yourself are enjoying the best, I will say Goodbye. Your
Loving Brother J. I suppose it was wrong of me but I thought it best, can
you understand? Reply by Return Post at all costs. John
3) March 19, 35 12 Gill Street, Buckland Hill, W.A. - Dear Lillie, A few
lines in haste just to say I am feeling fairly well, in fact I am ever so
much improved since being under treatment with herbalist that I can say I
have not felt better for years. As you know I was fully intending to come
again to Ireland but the herbalist says it is out of all possibilities & I
must put that thought aside. I have written Ida to that effect & I have
asked her to come here which I think is best although very hard to do. What
is your opinion? Now I hope all are well at home & the boss fully recovered
from his op. I will write him a line one of these days. How Davie, he
doesn't think of dropping a line at all, perhaps too busy. You asked about
J. Ferguson, he is well, he told me his sister & brother were coming out to
him soon, but maybe it is all talk. I have been really very busy lately &
under these conditions I feel wonderfully well. Had a line from Charlie last
week, glad to know he is so well with enough work to keep him out of
mischief. I must thank you for papers, which I enjoy very much, I pass it on
to some old people out here who are very interested in old Ireland. Well I
think this will be all this time, please excuse the scribble & short note as
I am in a hurray. So with best love to you all I am Your Loving Brother John

1) 29th April Cr. Daping & Drove Sts., Katanning - Dear Lil, Thanks
for your letter. I'm afraid I've been slacking on the writing lately. Jack
hurt his back at work about a fortnight after we came down here and was home
for a month. He is quite well again now and back at work. We had a time
trying to find a house and the only one we could get is a seven roomed
place. It is a very dismal place and there are plenty of cockroaches running
round, but we'll have to put up with it as it is the only empty house in
Katanning. Jack is rather busy at work now and sometimes is late getting
home. Wednesday he had a long trip to do in the afternoon so I went with him
and we didn't get home till quarter past eleven at night. I am sending the
photo by the same mail as this letter and also putting in two more for the
married brothers. Would you please give them to them with our love. I don't
know whether the photo is like me or not as some think it is and others
don't. I have my hair done differently because of the veil, but usually I
wear it brushed back from my face. The frock was oyster satin and I only had
a short tulle veil with a bunch of silver flowers on the side of my head. My
cousin was bridesmaid and wore a pale pink lace frock with a little veil of
tulle over her head. We both had bouquets of gladioli, mine were cream and
Cons(?) were pink. Mum had a navy and white outfit and carried red dahlias.
I wasn't nervous till I got to the church door and then I couldn't stop
shaking but it was soon over. The worst part was having our photos taken. I
always take a serious photo and he tried to make us smile but I'm afraid it
wasn't very successful. Anyway we've settled down to married life and we're
both very happy. Maybe one of these days we may be able to visit you all -
I'd love to. I am a real Aussie - born and bred in W.A. Thank you for
sending the parcel and we'll let you know when it arrives. Love to you all
Jack & Vi.
2) Cr. Daping & Drove Strs., Katanning, W.A. - Bureau plentiful. - Dear
Lillie & Davie, I was so pleased to have your letter but am afraid I do not
deserve it, as it is now years since I have written to anyone of you. Well
its good to hear all are doing fairly well, with the exception Vintie - he
had better watch his step next time Jack Frost comes along. Its good to now
Charlie has recovered so well after his illness, it is indeed a long time
before one is themselves again after being so sick. Well you have
asked me to reply & have I been urged by Vi to do so? All night she has been
saying why don't you write, its your duty & so forth, till I have started &
now I hardly know what to mention. I see by your letter you go down to
Craigavad occasionally to see Jim & Family, I suppose he is the only one
there now, does he work the farm or has Charlie let it, I can hardly realise
he has a son 10 years old, he will soon be helping him do the work. You say
he is on the Bureau, sounds as if work is not too plentiful, hope he has a
job by the time you get this. You were in at Frews & I see they are
just the same, I don't think they will ever alter, who married all the
girls? & did they do any good for themselves. Hows the Wallaces doing too? I
am thinking I would see a big change if I had a look around home again - one
day we may manage the trip if we are spared. I am wondering who the
Mrs. Gibson can be & how she could know anything about me. I didn't think
anyone in Australia knew the Frews or their friends to send such news, which
I am glad to say is all nonsense. I have only once been sick since I had
that lot of operations a few years ago, & it was a bad back, I think it came
from the kidneys, sometimes I get a pain slightly but "Loans? Kidney Pills!
always fixes it up. I am sure Cecil is very proud to be in the Air Force,
you did not say what trade he was following, you wish him all the best from
us & ask him to drop a line if possible to Australia. I am glad to
hear Father is keeping well, tell him I will be home to see him one day if
he keeps on well, I dare say he would not know me know & I may not know him.
I must drop a line to Charlie if I don't forget but somehow I just can't
start, once I start its easy, I hope he improves fast & becomes his old self
again, he is wise giving up the driving, I often wonder how I have stood up
to it for so long, 22 or 23 years now; sometimes I get tired of it. I think
Vi told you I was with the Shell Co. - have been nearly four years, driving
a bulk petrol tanker, & sometimes drum loads - Its a good job, much better
than the buses but I have to do a lot of overtime when things are busy. What
a pity Vintie is out of a job, I am sure if he were out here he would soon
gets a job, I would not like to ask him to come but if he did he would be
welcomed, you know how it is Lillie, if he got here & didn't like it, I
would feel as if it was my fault. Tell Harold to drop a line when not busy,
I am always pleased to hear from them all & when you see Charlie again tell
him to write & I will answer it. Will you let me know how much it cost to
send out the Set? I should have fixed it up long ago, but just put it off,
you know how. Well now I can say I am very happy & so is Vi, we get along
wonderfully well & have only a few friends, we find we are much better off
keeping to ourselves. We go out hunting quite a lot, Kangaroos & Yorces? &
Rabbits. I have an Irish Wolfhound, Gee he is a big fellow, he is only
young. I don't know how he will turn out as regards catching kangaroos as
they are fast & some of them about six feet tall, it takes a good dog to
catch them, I hope he turns out well. We carry him on back of the car in a
box, the car is a Hilman Minx, I have it about four years now, if I can
raise enough money one of these days I will buy a new one. Petrol is not
rationed here so far but fairly dear 2/7 per Gal., what the price you pay in
Ireland. I think its 1/6 per Gallon in England, a lot cheaper over there, of
course wages are higher here £5-15-0 I get less Taxes & Provident Fund. By
the way, how's T. Anderson & Ida doing, I haven't heard anything since they
were married, not likely to you will say; still I left it to her choice,
come here or finish. I suppose she won't speak to you know. Tell Davie to
drop me a few lines when you write & make him do it, whether he wants to or
not. I can't remember him ever writing me a line. Hows all his people? I
can't say much more now, as it is just on midnight & I am half asleep so I
will finish asking you to make all the family drop me a line next time you
write & with every good wish to you all from Vi & myself. Yours in Love Jack
xxxxxxx P.S. Vi is making a contrib. also, she will likely let you know what
I missed. Jack

1) 28th June 1941 6 Rose Street, Cottesloe, Western Australia - Dear Lil, I
suppose you were terribly shocked to get our cable telling you that Jack had
passed away. It was an awful shock to me and all of our friends and I just
can't seem to realize that Jack has gone. We were both so very happy during
the few years we were married and Jack was the best pal and Husband anyone
could wish for. It seems very hard to understand why this should have
happened to us after such a short time together, and all I've got left is
the memory of our happiness together! Jack hurt his back at work on
the 23rd of last month when a drum he was lifting slipped and put two bones
out slightly. He had to go to hospital for one day where they gave him a
dose of chloroform and put the bones back. I brought him home the same night
and he was very well except that he was a bit sick after the anaesthetic. He
seemed to get over that and was as well as ever until early on the Tuesday
morning (10th June)) when he complained about pains in his stomach and back
down near his kidneys. I thought it was appendicitis and called in the
doctor, who came about six in the morning. He examined Jack and said it
wasn't his appendix but that he thought it might be a stone in the kidney.
He took him to the hospital the same day where they had him under
observation until they took X-rays of his back but they couldn't see
anything wrong. Then they thought it might be an abscess so X-rayed his
chest but still couldn't find anything wrong. He was having injections all
the time because he was in pain and couldn't keep any food down. I was
terribly worried and went to the doctor to ask him to call in another
doctor. He asked me to leave it for 24 hours as he was trying a new
treatment. Jack seemed to pick up a bit after that and seemed a lot
brighter, and on the Monday before he passed away the Doctor said that he
had passed the crisis and was on the mend. The sister at the hospital told
me to go home and get a good night's sleep and not to worry as Jack was
doing well. Somehow I couldn't seem to settle down that night, even though
they'd told me not to worry, and then on the Tuesday 24th they sent for me
about one o'clock in the afternoon. When I got to the hospital and went in
to see Jack he looked very sick. He knew me and held my hand all the time,
and I was with him until just on 4 o'clock. He was breathing very hard at
first and then seemed to settle down easier and slept until about 4 o'clock
when he just stopped breathing. I got a terrible shock and the sister and
matron came in and took me out. The Shell Superintendent came for me and
took me home to his wife. They were very good to me and so were the few
friends that we had. The doctor told me after that Jack had a carbuncle on
the kidney, but that was responding very well to the treatment. He died from
Septic pneumonia which he developed at the hospital. I asked him if it was a
result of the accident but he said no as the trouble didn't start for a
while afterwards. I had Jack brought to Fremantle to be buried as I thought
he would like it as he had so many friends there, and I will be coming back
to Cottesloe to stop for a while after I've fixed up everything at Katanning,
so I'll be able to go to the cemetery often. The funeral was at half past
eleven and it was a beautiful morning although it rained quite a lot later
in the afternoon. I'll have to try to get work soon as I can't seem to
settle down or realize what's happened yet and I suppose I've got to live
somehow. Well Lil I think I've told you all I can and please let me know if
you would like something of Jack's as a keepsake. Hoping you are all well.
With fondest love from Vi.
2) 30/8/41 C/- Mrs. W. Godwin, 6 Rose Street, Cottesloe - Dear Lil,
I'm sending you a photo of Jack. I had some taken off the wedding group and
knew you'd like one. I've just finished a course learning the comptometer
and can still type, so now I am going to try to get a job. Mum and Dad and
our relati0ons have all been very good to me since I've been back here, but
I feel that I'd be much better when I have something to do all day to keep
me occupied. It's very hard trying to get used to being by myself again and
I keep expecting Jack to walk in. Last Monday I went up to my Aunts
place to stop for a few days. They have a farm about 150 miles inland from
Perth and I though the change might do me good as I've had a touch of flu
for about three weeks and have not been sleeping too well since I came back
to Cottesloe. I came back home on Friday and Auntie came with me so she is
stopping with Mum for a few weeks holiday. How are you all keeping? I guess
it's a very trying time for you over there now and our thoughts are with you
all. Jack and I have often planned that we'd have a trip to Ireland to see
you all. I'd love to be able to meet you as I feel I know you even though
we've never seen one another. Well Lil I'm afraid there isn't much news to
tell you so will close now with love to all. Violet
3) 11th December 1941 6 Rose Street, Cottesloe - Dear Lil, I was very
pleased to receive your letter on Monday and know you are all keeping well.
I didn't answer your letter until I fixed up about the certificate which I
got today and am posting to Charlie with a short note. On Sunday I was down
at the cemetery and took a few snaps of Jack's grave so am sending you one
of them. I've had it all done up so it's a lot nicer and keeps much tidier
now. I've been going down every Sunday afternoon since I've been down here,
but the weather is getting far too warm to put fresh flowers on now as they
don't last longer than a day, so I am getting some artificial ones. I've
also taken some snaps of our dog 'Lady'. We've had her since she was a tiny
puppy and Jack thought a lot of her. I have her at home with me now and she
is very good company, although she's always in to some mischief and can just
about knock me over when she gets excited. She likes me to chase her round
the yard, but of course I usually get tired before she does. She sleeps by
my bed on the veranda and puts her nose up to my face in the morning to
wake me up. Mum and Dad are keeping very well. Dad, of course, has retired
from work. I think I told you he had finished up work last December. He has
been away for about three months stopping with my sister on the farm while
Arnold (my brother-in-law) was away shearing. He came home about a fortnight
ago and looks very well after his holiday. I am starting to put a little bit
of weight on now. I was under seven stone when I came back to Cottesloe and
now I am seven stone five. I had a poisoned finger for about six weeks.
Pricked it with a rose thorn and it wouldn't heal up so I had to have the
skin taken off all round the top of my finger. Glad to say it is better now.
Did you get the photo of Jack I sent you? I had a large one taken off for
myself but was rather disappointed with it as it wasn't Jack as I knew him.
Still the more I look at it the more like him it seems to be now. Well Lil I
will close now with love to all the family and to Davie and yourself, and
the best of luck for the New Year. With love from Vi.

1) 10th November 1971 Postmark Belfast to Mr. & Mrs. Hare,
Carnalea, Bangor, Co. Down Recd. 11/11/71 ? re Jack's illness. Thurs. Jacks
illness (first) No. 2 Ward R.V. Hosp. - Ballygrainey Road, Tues. night. Dear
Lillie & Davie, Just a short note to let you know that Jack is very ill &
didn't get home from hospital yesterday. They think now its a clot & they
might have to operate, he seems to have lost his speech & is paralised down
one side. He didn't know Sadie yesterday but she says he knew her today, but
she isn't allowed to talk to him. Charlie is calling for me to take me up
tomorrow, but I don't know whether I'll get in or not, but I'll go anyhow.
Charlie & Evelyn say if he's no better they will come over here & stay until
we see what happens. There seems to be nothing but trouble for the Stewarts
this weather, no word from America yet. Cheerio & remember us all in your
prayers. Ella xxx
2) Newtownabbey, Co. Antrim 30/10/72 -
Dear Lillie, Thank you for your letter which I received to-day, as you can
see our address is different, I think Cecil forgot to tell you when he last
seen you. We moved into this house on 15th July as its better for us with
the baby, he can get out now to the garden to play. I'm glad David is
feeling better & I pray he continues to make good progress, he's lucky to
have you & you him. Cecil couldn't get down that day he was supposed to as
he got a Telegram to go back into Montgomery House for more treatment, he
was in 2 weeks, he had 17 injections in all. Lillie he is very poorly, these
injections don't seem to be stopping these lumps, he now has several more &
on Friday night was in great pain with his chest so I got the doctor & he
thinks its dry pleurisy, something there anyway he said would need x-ray but
as he's waiting to go into Montgomery House again this week if they send for
him, he would leave it to Dr. Edelstwyn to attend to. I haven't got speaking
to Edelstwyn yet as Cecil won't let me anyway. I think he's hard to catch as
he's a busy man & I'm sure he's doing all he can. I shall see him without
Cecil knowing if I can manage. I did speak to his G.P. in private (Cecil
doesn't know this but these injections are not a cure) I have to put a face
on it for his sake & try to keep cheerful - it's a great strain. I will
write again and keep you informed of his progress, love to you both, Betty
3) 5th July 1973 Postmark Fremantle,
Australia to Mrs. L. Hare, Carnalea, Bangor from Mrs. G. W. Drabble,
Willagee, W.A. - Dear Lil, Thank you very much for the lovely gift. Sorry I
have been so long writing. Do hope you are recovering from all your trouble
and sorrow, and feeling better now. I had a fall a couple of months ago and
broke the Fibula in my right leg. Was in plaster for about 4½ weeks. Had two
days using crutches and then the doctor put the heel support on and I was
able to move around quite well. George's sister and her husband were
visiting us at night and I went out to move the hose on the lawn, missed my
footing on the bottom step and finished up on the lawn. I was fortunate it
was only the small bone, as it could have been much worse. George went
away last month for a couple of weeks. His young brother has a small
property in the South West and he wanted to put up a building so George went
with hum to help. While he was away Alan and Marg took me to Perth to our
new Concert Hall to a Graduation Ceremony. About 300 students were presented
with Diplomas and Alan received his Diploma in Cartography. Quite a nice
evening but a bit too much speech making. We have just bought ourselves a
new car and a caravan and hope to be able to do a bit of touring around.
Neither of us have been up north of our State, so we want to see that. We've
been down to the south coast quite often, now we would like to see what the
top end is like. The van is fitted up very nicely and provided George can
handle the bigger car and the towing it should be good to holiday in. Alan
and Marg are having a house built on their land soon. The plan has been
approved and they hope to be able to move in about the end of September or
early October. Brett is going to nursery school now - he was three last
March - and it seems to be doing him good now he is mixing with other small
children although he is getting a bit cheeky. Still most youngsters seem to
get like that when they start playing with others. Did I tell you that Judy
and Alan have separated? They reckon they can't get along together, so Judy
has Glenn - he started school this year - and she is working and has a flat
and Alan has a flat. We were very upset because of Glenn. He will be 6 in
August, and we both feel he needs his father and mother, but we can't
interfere. It's their lives and they have to battle it out for themselves.
Peta and John have moved to a flat. It is much nicer than the semi-detached
house they were in. That was very old and only one bedroom and rather
cramped. Both say they are much happier now they have a more modern place.
They are very handy to a small shopping centre which is just over the road
from them and the flats are only a small block. They come over every
Saturday to see us and Judy and Glenn visit every week end either Saturday
or Sunday and quite often Glenn sleeps overnight with us and Judy picks him
up on the Sunday. Both the grandchildren seem to love coming to stop
overnight with us. George has a lot of patience with them and they love him.
I have been getting rheumatism in my thumbs lately and if I write much they
get very painful, so that is why I am typing. Hope you don't mind. Please
give my regards to the family. Fondest love to you from us both and the
children. God bless. Love from Vi & George

I walked a mile with sorrow, and not a word said she, But Oh how much I
learned, when sorrow walked with me!

A unique Twelfth touch is provided by this picture of a different kind of
celebration. Members of 8th Belfast HAA Regiment, RA, had their own Orange
banner on display at their eve of victory parade in India in 1945. Picture

The Primary 7 History Exhibition 'Tracing our History'
Jonathan Wright (Room 14) attended coaching courses early this year and was
selected to play for the Belfast Primary School team. This team travelled to
Jersey for a week in April and to Scotland for a day in May. Well done
Jonathan.
Zippo and his clown friends gave a lively performance to the Primary 7
pupils in November. Their message was stressed by the amusing plays which
they acted out and their catch-phrase "Never let the heat escape, Wrap up
warm and insulate." It is important that we do not waste electricity by
leaving lights on in rooms which we are not using. Doors and windows should
be kept closed in winter to keep warm air in our homes or in our school. If
we waste energy in a careless way, the natural fuel resources of the world
(oil, coal and gas) will soon be used up. What will happen then?

Bangor, Co. Down - A delightful prospect of the famous bay with the Marine
Gardens in the foreground. The Pickie Pool, with its high diving boards,
water chutes and safe bathing for all ages is a swimmer's Mecca in the
summer season, while in the Marine Gardens on a balmy evening hundreds sit
or stroll about contemplating a scene of never-dying charm. Ancient and
modern go hand in hand in this lovely place at the mouth of Belfast Lough.
Here in the monastery founded by St. Comgall in 559 A.D., the torch of
learning burned brightly for eight centuries, and missionaries and scholars
were sent out to all parts of Europe.
Donaghadee, Co. Down. During the season Donaghadee Harbour has an attraction
all its own with its fleet of small craft, its fishing nets drying in the
sun, and its trim lighthouse dominating the scene. In olden times Donaghadee
maintained a mail packet service with Portpatrick (Scotland), 21 miles away.
