| 405 | Old Family Bereaved Sudden Death of Mrs. C. Trigg EARLY DAY ASSOCIATIONS The death occurred under distressingly sudden circumstances in Perth early on Wednesday morning of Mrs. Caroline Trigg. wife of Mr. W. W. Trigg, of Fitzgerald Street. Slightly more than a week earlier Mr. and Mrs. Trigg left Geraldton to spend a holiday in Perth and on Monday evening last they entertained Mr. Trigg's brother (Mr. F. A. Trigg) and his wife to dinner at the city hofel at which they were staying. The following morniing Mrs. Trigg complained of feeling unwell and as the day progressed her condition worsened. A doctor who was summoned ordered her immediate removal to hospital, where she lapsed into a coma and died early the following morning. The late Mrs. Trigg was a native of Geraldton. where she was born eighty one years ago. She was a daughter of the late Mr. George Baston who was for many years associated with the commercial life of the town and was the first Mayor of Geraldton. She received her early education in the town and completed her studies at a Perth girls' college. Returning to the town she, in association with a sister, conducted a school in Geraldton prior to marriage in December, 1895 to Mr. Walter W. Trigg. Ever a devout adherent of the Church of England the late Mrs. Trigg associated herself actively with many of its activities. She was a Sunday School teacher, a member of various church choirs and a conscientious member of the women's guild. A foundation member of the Geraldton Tennis Club, she did much to establish the sport in the town. Her parents, returning from a holiday visit to Melbourne, are reputed to have brought the first equipment for playing the game to the town and the deceased lady and her sisters encouraged others in its use to lay the foundations of the sport in Geraldton. Acknowledgment of this fact was made on the occasion of the last State hard court championships played in Geraldton when the late Mrs Trigg and her sisier (Mrs. L. Howes) were the guests of honor at the carnival. She was also for very many years a member of the Geraldton Croquet Club. It was in her home and in the devoted care of her family that the late Mrs.Trigg found her greatest interest and where, undoubtedly she spent the happiest years of a long married life. Retiring and unostentatious she was ever solicitous of thententment of those about her and her ready sympathy and practical Christianity earned her the warmest esteem of all with whom she came in contact. She retained vivid memories of the Geraldton of her early days and was ever happy relating incidents and speaking of personalities of those years. She is survived by her husband, three, daughters (Mrs. W. Kendrick and Misses Doris Trigg and May Trigg) and one son (Mr. W. Trigg, of Perth). Her sister (Mrs. L. Howes, of Fitzgerald Street) is the one surviving of the Baston family. The funeral took place at Karrakatta on Thursday last, when many former Geraldton residents assembled at the graveside to pay a last tribute of respect to the deceased lady and express sympathy with the members of her bereaved family. | Baston, Caroline (I324)

| 413 | 1928 'Phillips River District Phillips River District REMINISCENCES OF R. DUNN Pioneering Days Discussed There will shortly be a reunion at the picturesque old Woodburn homestead at the foot of the Porongorups , 25 miles from Albany, when Mr. Robert A. Dunn and his sister arrive from Ravensthorpe, lt is there the couple were brougnt up, and where their eldest brother Mr. William Dunn lives with his family, they have realised their interests at Ravensthorpe, and will now settle locally. Mr. Dunn settled in the Phillips River district in October, 1872, and with his brothers started sheep farm ing on the banks of the Phillips River. The Phillips River district was always thought a likely looking place for gold, but none payable was found until 1896, when payable gold and copper were found by the Dunn Brothers. Early Memories. I carted the first parcel of copper ore to Hopetoun, Mr. Dunn told an interviewer before his departure. We sent it to Wallaroo Smelters for treatment, and it gave a return of 25 per cent, and a little gold. I did all the carting from Hopetoun until after the town started to build. There is good land here to grow wheat, and there are a good many farmers now on the land, awd there is a large number of blocks taken up some taken up for upwards of two years, and not yet surveyed. Then our Government say this district is fairly treated. It will be another year before the blocks already taken up are surveyed. It's very aggravating when men take up land and cannot eitiher clear or fence their blocks; no wonder they are talking of giving up their hold ings. Without a good banking account, they can't stand such treatment. | Dunn, Robert A (I972)

| 414 | 1928 'Personal GOLDEN WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. William Dunn Porongcrups Congratulations of Albany and district residents were yesterday freely extended Mr. and Mrs. William Dunn, of Woodburn, Porongorups Ranges, on the attainment of their golden wedding. Mr. Dunn is the eldest son of the late Mr. James Richard Dunn, who came to this State over eighty years ago from Kent, England, and was one of the early pioneers of the neighborhood. This gentleman was a member of the Civil Service for a considerable time, and in the course of his bush experience turned his hand to almost every kind of work that confronted the new settler, finally taking up "Woodburn" in 1860, upon his retirement from the Government service. His son William, who celebrated yesterday's happy event, was born at Albany on December 18, 1846, and received his education at local schools. He joined his father at the Porongorups in 1863, and from that time until his retirement a few years ago devoted his energies to the de velopment of his picturesque property. The original block owned by Mr. Dunn was only 40 acres, but his son added extensively to the property, and now the homestead stands in the centre of nearly 1000 acres. His sons and daughters are actively interested in its working. For many I years ago Mr Dunn closely associated himself with local government, and served both as a member of the Albany and Plantagent Roads Boards. He married in 1878 Alice, daughter of the late Mr. Charles Keyser, who came from America in 1836, and settled in Busselton, where Mrs Dunn was born. The family consists of five sons and four daughters. | Family: William Dunn / Alice Keyser (F269)

| 417 | 1930 'A VALUED SERVANT A VALUED SERVANT RETIREMENT OF MR. E. C. D KEYSER. STATE EXPANSION. After having served the State in varions capacities during periods close on 35 years, and having now reached the retiring age, Mr. Edwin Charles Donat Keyser will relinquish his position as officer in charge of interstate trade statistics at the end of this week. His retirement will not be spent in idleness, for it is his intention to join this journal An unusually interesting personality, "Ted" Keyser is well known in the city and outback. Time has dealt kindly with him, and although of the alert vigour of his intelligence his hair is grey he has the hale appearance and the sprightly step which suggest a man many years his junior. If people are only as old as they look, then Mr. Keyser is a mere 50, and if people are as young as they feel, he is barely 40. To converse with him for however short a time is to realise that the passing of the years has not robbed him of any of the alert vigour of his intelligence, or dimmed the genial warmth and tolerance of his outlook of men and affairs. Among the colonists who came from England to the Swan River Settlement in 1829, on board the sailing ship Gilmore, were John and Rebecca Pettit, who settled in Perth and later at Busselton. Thomas Thurkle, one of their fellow passengers on the Gilmore, married their daughter Elizabeth. In the course of time the Thurkles' daughter Elizabeth married Charles Donat Keyser, of Philadelphia, who arrived in the Colony as a lad of 20, in 1852, and became one of the founders of the timber industry at Busselton. To Charles Keyser and his wife there was born a son, the subject of this sketch, on June 3, 1865 the birth day of King George V. Nine years later the little family sailed from Busselton to Albany in the Georgette, the only steamship then plying regularly on our coast. The vessel was wrecked four years afterwards. A Case of Les Majesté? To Mr. Keyser belongs the unique honor of having bowled King George for a duck! In 1881 the young Prince, with his brother, the Duke of Clarence, was at Albany on H.M.S. Bacchante. One of the events arranged by the loyal townspeople in celebration of the Royal visit was a cricket match between junior teams. The match took place on June 3, the 17th birthday of Prince George and of Edwin Keyser. In fear and trembling, but with a determination to do his best in the true colonial spirit. Young Keyser, when put on to bowl, sent down a yorkeh. It took the Prince's middle-stump. The Prince had not scored a single run, and the bowler, appalled by his deed, thought he would be punished for lese majesté! But the Prince, a true sportsman, merely made a wry face and retired, grinning. In 1886 Mr Keyser joined the civil service, as customs officer at Albany and later, while still retaining this post, became at different periods Treasury cashier, quarantine officer, Government land agent and Clérk of Courts "a regular Pooh-Bah," as he says himself. In 1908 he was selected by the Premier (Sir Newton Moore), to make arrangements at Albany, on behalf of the Government, for the welcome of the American Fleet, gaining experience which stood him in good stead many years later when sent to Albany by the Scaddan Government to arrange for a welcome to the first vessels of the Royal Australian Navy on their arrival from Britain. In 1909 Mr. Keyser was appointed Protector of Aborigines. He took the task seriously. With that thoroughness which has always characterised him he made a long tour of inspection through the eastern and northern goldfields, upper and lower Murchison , Lake Darlot and Lake Carnarvon and from there northward to far as Derby, visiting all the inter vening ports. When, in October, 1910, the Federal authorities decided to discontinue the collection of interstate trade statistics, the Wilson Government determined that at all costs a record so far as this State was concerned, must be maintained. Mr. Keyser was requested to organise the branch of interstate trade statistics, under Mr. M A. C. Fraser, the Government Statistician. Mr. Keyser has been in charge of this branch ever since 1910, with only one break, from 1915 to 1918, when he was on active service with the A.I-F A.LF. An Absent-minded Recruit. He was well over the recruiting age limit, but developed an acute attack of absent mindedness and gave his years as 40 instead of 50. "Forty my eye!" said the recruiting sergeant. "Yes 40, not a day older," replied Mr. Keyser, "and kindly don't dispute the fact, Sergeant Manly." The sergeant seemed very much inclined to dispute it, so Mr. Keyser decided to appeal to the sentimental side of his nature. "Let me through, Sergeant,' he pleaded "Remember the days when we were boys together at dear old Albany, when you were at the fort-" and a lot more in the same strain. Sergeant Manly, a sentimentalist at heart, listened to the stream of heart stirring eloquence, hesitated, and was lost. "Pass friend; all's well," he said It looked as though all would not be so well when weighing time came. The maximum allowed for army recruits was 14st. Mr. Keyser turned the scale at 16-4. "Here, Manly, come here," cried the recruit, "and for heaven's sake read this weight indicator before anyone else gets a look at it." The sergeant strolled across. "Yes, you're over-weight," he said. "Nonsense," said Keyser. "Rub your eyes and look aagin. And re member, Manly, that we were boys together at Albany-." The ser geant smiled- "Yes, but that hasn't prevented you from putting on a lot of weight. However, for the sake of old times. Im taking a risk, and will very likely get into trouble, oh well, you are just on full weight. Pass." That was how Edwin Keyser entered the army, and no doubt many similar comedies were staged in recruiting depots all over Australia during the. war years Figures a Mirror of Progress. When Mr. Keyser joined the civil service in 1886 the population of the whole State did not exceed 30,000. Today the figures stand at 413,000 Mr. Keyser quotes further very illuminating figures comparing 1886 and to day. Then the wool production was £6,000,000 per annum today it is over £60,000,000. The total import and export trade of the State was £1,500,000. The total is close on £38,000,000. The total imports in 1886 amounted to £758,000 not quite equal to the present day figure for a single month, in respect of imports from the Eastern States alone. In 1886 the land under crop, the land under artificial grass, the new land prepared for crop, the fallow land, and the land previously cropped, covered an area of only 86,000 acres; today the total is nearly 11,000,000 acres. The average area under cultivation in proportion to each person in the State, in 1886, was two acres; today the figure is about 26 acres. In 1886 no returns were made concerning the acreage, nature or quantity of fresh fruit grown, and certainly no fruit was produced in sufficient quantities for export. Last year there were 23,000 acres of bearing and non bearing fruit trees in this State, and the export value totalled over £500,000. The wheat production in 1886 was 289,000 bushels; this season the production is about 40,000,000bushels "There is not much wrong with a population of less than 414,000," says Mr. Keyser, "whose annual agricultural production totals about £13,000,000; pastoral,£7,000,000; dairying,£2,000,000; forestry and fishing,£2,50,000; mining, £2,500,000, manufacturing £7,000,000 a total of £33,500,0001" Mr. Keyser has always taken a keen interest in the State's progress as expressed in figures, and has regularly passed on his statistical knowledge to the public, by means of anonymous articles published in the metropolitan and country Press. | Keyser, Edwin (Ted) Charles Donat (I932)

| 421 | 1934 'WEDDING BELLS.' WEDDING BELLS ROBINS-KEEPING The Bapist Church, Albany, was the scene of a very pretty wedding on Wednesday afternoon, September 26 The Church had been beautilfully decorated by the members of the Christian Endeavor. The contracting parties were Miss Betty Keeping, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Keeping, of Claremont, and Mr. John Robins, only son of Mr. and Mrs. G. Robins of Albany. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. F. Shiner and Miss I. Furby presided at the organ. The bride, who was given away by Mr. C. Stokes in the absence of her father, looked very sweet in her simple frock of cream sand crepe. The veil( kindly loaned by Mrs. E. Robins) was set well back off the fore head and held in place by a wreath of orange blossom, falling to form a train at the back. A sheath of white arum lilies and fern completed a very charming toilette. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Joan Keeping as brides maid. She wore a frock of wedge wood blue perle de chine with white lace picture hat, and carried a bouquet of blue ageratum and fern. Little Miss Nan Martin and Master Ted Stokes acted as train bearers, the former looking very lovely in a long frock of pink rosebud voile and carrying a posy of pink flowers to match. Master Ted Stokes looked very manly in his suit of Assam silk. Mr. Walter Ferrell was best man. As the bridal procession left the Church the Boy Scouts, of whom the bridegroom is a Scoutmaster, formed a guard of honor. The reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. Stokes, Perth Road, where a very pleasant time was spent. Many lovely wedding presents were on view, including one from the A.G.A. and one from the Boy Scouts. Later in the evening the pride and bridegroom left by car for their honeymoon. On the Friday evening preceding the wedding a very pleasant social evening was spent in the Oddfellows Hall, when the members of the Baptist Church tendered the couple a kitchen tea and made them the recipients of a collection of useful kitchen articles. Items were given by various members of the Christian Endeavour and a dainty supper was served. | Family: John Ord Robins / Thelma Betty (Dixon) Keeping (F9)

A largely-attended dance was held in the Masonic Hall in the evening to celebrate the event. The wedding presents, we learn, were both numerous and costly. | Family: John Enright / Millicent Kate Prisilla Pead (F71)
