While engaged in dam cleaning operations this morning on his father's Yandeine property about 12 miles from York, Webster Marwick, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Marwick, received severe head injuries.

Mr. Marwick, sen., was driving the tractor hauling the scoop when he looked behind and saw his son lying unconscious on the ground' some distance from the scoop.

288 1939 'Mistaken Identity Of W.A. Racehorses

Mistaken Identity Of W.A. Racehorses

PERTH, Saturday.
Mistaken identity of two racehorses being transported to widely separated country towns paused mild sensations in those centers yesterday. Dollator, an outstanding winner in Western Australia this season, was trucked at Belmont to be sent to its owner, W. J. Marwick, of York. On the same train Miss Solomon, a maiden two year old filly, was sent to Toodyay.

Dollator is a brown, and Miss Solomon a chestnut. When Marwick entered the truck on its arrival at York he found the filly, and when Miss Solomon's new owner at Toodyay went to untruck the galloper he found a likely looking brown mare, and was pleased with his purchase Marwick, however, was not long in proving to the railway authorities their error. 		Marwick, William Joseph (I998)
 
289 1913 'MR. WILLIAM MARWICK

MR. WILLIAM MARWICK

A Yeteran of York

Of that vast army traversing the old Coolgardie-rôad from York to-the' El Dorado who can forget the old names associated with the period? Some of them are merely, memories. that graduaally are drifting beyond common usage' that are rarely recalled, where owners are dead and beyond the vale.

The swampers and teamsters who baited impatiently at Reen's Soak, Woolgangie Boorabtin,Bullabullag and the other camping places can be still remembered by the old farm of William Marwick and Sons or still better are Marwick Bros

The Marwicks were amongst the first to take to the track in that Wild rush. With York as their 'headquarters they estabilished a station" or sub-base at Woolgangie, adding to the carrying busíness that of produce merchants and forming a terminal depot at Coolgardie.

In the swirl of dust on Fly Flat there was many a man who could have testified to the good hearts and generosity of the family. There were "Web" and "Spider" Marwick principally to be seen on the wagons whilst Warren was closely identified with the work but mostly stayed in York. "Joe" to took a hand in the business.

Poor old "Web" and William jun pegged out their last earthly shows some years ago. Their memories are still green to the early goldfielders who know them as they were white men in the true sense of the term

The other Marwicks have settled down to steady work at York, and now no longer the creaking wagons and sweating Horses ply the old back tracks up to the fields the long disused ruts have run into watercourses, and the only reminders ', of the early traffic are the grass grown camping spots where the rusty tins are stacked or scattered about and are fast decaying to dust.

Heigho what a lot the pioneers owed to tinned dog But that is another theme. This little letterpress is the subject of the gentleman whose photograph appears herein Mr. William Marwick the founder of the family.

This fine example of the Australian pioneer is now 80 years of age. He came to WA. when a very young man, from Cambridgeshire, England, and accepted work down the Great Southern as a stockman.

Wages In those days very microscopic compared to those Obtaining now, whilest the food (which was a part thereof) was rather queer "tack," consisting of damper, and occasionally very, very occasionally smoked and corned mutton. Kangaroo was an article of diet much relied upon, but somewhat sickening as a surfeit.

He came from Wisbeck, England, in 1852, and eventually took up land and engaged in transactions so successfully that he became practically independent when the 'Coolgardie rush had commenced. However; his business instincts were too keen to allow him to repose at such a stirring period in the State's history.

His properties. are mostly at York, and, having married he handed over his farming to his sons who now have something like 12,000 acres, under cultivation in that district Of this they reap about 4000 acres of cereals every year, 4000 acres remain dead fallow for thc next year, whilest the third 4000 acres are being prepared for the fallow of the next year.

This farming on the three year principle Mr. Marwick has always held, is the essence of successful farming; hence the sons do as the father commenced. The Marwick sheep flocks number approximately 10,000, and are productive of a considerable income every year Since taking it easy Mr. Marwick has travelled extensively, having visited America, Canada, New Zealand, in addition to almost every country in Europe, and on three occasions he has re visited his native town, Wisbeck.

As a result of his trips, there have been notable additions to the State sheep studs, besides many valuable animals possessed by the firm at York. On Mr. Marwick, sens, recent arrival from England hs brought with him nine Lincolns, three English Leicesters and two Shropshires.

These are declared by Mr. Marwick, as the finest woolled sheep he has ever seen, and each was insured for the voyage at 23 guineas. Several of the rams he purchased at the recent Lincoln Fair, some in the North of England, and others in Shropshire.

No one would, on appearances, credit Mr. Marwick with having spent over 80 years on the earth's surface, for every way he is bright and keenly interested in all his surroundings. Despite the fact that he arrived by the Africa a few weeks ago, he speaks being back in the Old Country for Christmas. It is astonishing the activity of these old stalwarts, and we remarked it to our ancient friend.. "You young fellows are too apt to take the easiest ways," he said, "and they a not always the healthiest. It sounds right, too, doesn't i? 		Marwick, William (I774)
 
290 1913 'OLDEST WESTRALIAN

The cutting is as follows:
The writer, having got stranded on of the back roads of Leeor the other evening through a knocked up horse, bethought himself of his genial friend Tom Pettit. On reaching the homestead friend Tom was away, but he was met by his respected father (Mr. James Pettit), who is now
8O years of age, who kindly put the stables at his disposal and found good cheer for man and beast.

During the evening over a social pipe the following facts came to light, which must be interesting to all loyal and true Australians. . It seems that the old gentleman's grandfather, who sprang from a good French family, came to England at thc time of the Reformation, and settled in Kent.

Mr. John Pettit, the old gentleman's father, was a coastguard on the coast of Kent, and was from there drafted into the British Navy, and fought under Nelson at the
Battle of Trafalgar. After drawing his prize money, he was going down one of the streets of Portsmouth and was met by Thomas Peel (brother to Robert Peel the famous English statesman), who was forming a company to start a settlement on the west coast of Australia, and persuaded him to go with them with his wife and children.

After an eventful voyage of over nine months they arrived at their destination. They landed in June 1829. at what is known as Clarence, 12 miles south of Fremantle. WA, the first settlement in that State. Three days after landing our venerable friend James Pettit was born there, and was the second child born in that State.

He is well acquainted with the first administrator of that colony, and knew the following gentlemen intimately:-Sir William Strangly. first Lieutenant Governor of Western Australia: Sir William Roe. Surveyor-General ; Judge McKie the first judge; and his memory is still green of his many adventures with the blacks and the other hardships of a new settlement.

He took up a station in that colony, but had bad luck with his cattle, they having succumbed to poison weed. He gave it up and has battled throngh life a hardy pioneer, and does not look much the worse for his four score years.

He was of a family of 13 sons and four sisters. He is the father of seven sons, six of whom are living, and is the grandfather of 39 sturdy grandchildren, who are 'chips ot the old block.; He has also two great grandchildren. He is now spending a green old age on his son Tom's farm at Leeor South, and takes a delight in the many odd jobs about a farm homestead, and long may he remain with us to do so."

Mr Pettit (ur the pressman) is a bit rocky at his history. James Stirling (not Wm. Strangly) was the first Lieutenant-Governor, and J. N- (not William) Roe first surveyor. The first Chairman of Quarter Sessions was W. H. Mackie. The Parmelia arrived in June, and three boats reached Cockburn Sound in August. Mr. Pettits parents must have come in one of these. 		Pettit, James (I1174)
