McBRIDE, William James died 03 June 1932
Burra Record Wednesday 15 June 1932 page 3
When William James McBride breathed his last at Aberdeen on June 3rd, there passed away one of those sterling, hard-working, practical men who helped to lay the foundations of South Australia, aye, and even of the Commonwealth as it exists to-day. In later years a false prosperity deceived us and maybe the superstructure has become top-heavy and the walls show signs of cracking,
but that is no fault of those great hearted men who went out into the wilderness and fought and overcame the backblocks, developing in our arid areas Australia's great pastoral industry. In these days of motor cars and wireless the hardship and monotony would be incomparable with those days of bullock wagons and isolation. The late Mr. McBride was one of those who faced and fought those old conditions and came out on top. He was the eldest son of that pioneer of pioneers, the late R. James Martin McBride who in the initial stages of land settlement, had possibly even more hardships and dangers to overcome than his eldest son. Anyone who reads the first of a series of articles by Mr. F. Treloar in this issue, will possibly gain some conception of what pioneering a station was like in the 'sixties' even so near to the seaboard as 'The Gums.' It has been said of the late Mr. McBride that he did not take interest in public matters, meaning presumably that he did not bring himself before the public. But the life work of such as he was of more importance to Australia than that of the combined efforts of many of our politicians.
The deceased gentleman can be claimed as a Burra boy as he was born at Copperhouse in the December of 1855. He was later educated at Mr. C. R. White's school. His father then owned 'The Gums' station and from his early boyhood, in fact, until he had passed his 30th year, his life was spent at 'The Gums.' He being the eldest son of a large family, worked for his father and with his
second brother, Robert, loyally assisted their father through both good and bad seasons. When years later 'The Gums' station was cut up he bought the unresumed portion that was left, from his father, which he held for three years and then sold to Messrs Cockrum and Pearse. He next took up a block of country east of Burra known as the North Dam (now known as Kia Ora station and
in possession of his youngest brother, Mr. Norman McBride), but owing to a run of bad seasons he had to leave this property. From thence he went to Mt Horrocks, a property he purchased from his father and situated north of Redruth. Later when the Outalpa run (near Olary) was cut up he secured a portion known as Bulloo Creek and took into partnership his two youngest sons. Messrs Lindsay and Robert (Robin) McBride . Mr. McBride always maintained a keen interest in his properties and like his father was a man of grit and determination and although approaching his 80th year he frequently when visiting his Bulloo Creek property would leave the train at McDonnell's Hill siding and walk the 4 1/2 miles, through sandy country, out to the station, He was noted for his sound judgement in regard to station properties and sheep and was not only acclaimed one of the best judges of weight and value, both of sheep and cattle, but also one of the best counters of stock in this district. He never at any time took an active part in public affairs,
his main interest being retained in his properties and the breeding of a very fine type of Merino sheep. The news of his illness, the result of an accident some months ago, which caused an injury to a lung, came as a surprise to his friends, as before that he appeared to be in robust health. Of a most reserved nature those who had dealings with him knew the strict integiity of his character and in consequence held him in the highest esteem. The widow, previously Miss Florence Stoddart of Woodside, and
four sons and two daughters survive. They are : Messrs Cyril McBride (pastoralist) W.A.; Sidney, Perth, W.A.; Lindsay, Bulloo Creek, Olary, and Robert McBride, Mt. Horrocks, Burra; Mrs. Jude (Maisie), wife of Dr. Jude, Mildura, and Vera, Mrs. L. Hogan, of Sydney, also a number of grandchildren. His surviving brothers are Messrs Robert M. McBride, of Toorak; Thomas McBride, Redeliffe station; and N. H. McBride, of Glenelg and his surviving sisters Mrs o. C. Sandland, Kooringa; Mrs. W. G. Hawkes, North Adelaide; Mrs. E. J. Keynes, Seacliff; Mrs. J. Boehme, Ucolta; and Mrs. Evans of Adelaide. The late Mr. Albert J. McBride who died in 1928 was a brother.

It has been our lot of late to chronicle quite a number of sad and sudden deaths of well known residents of Burra and district, and on
Sunday morning last we regret to state that still another well known lady, Mrs. Archibald D. McDonald, of Leighton, passed away at the Burra Hospital after only two days' illness, the cause of death being peritonitis. The news caused quite a gloom over the town and district, particularly at Leighton where the deceased lady was widely known and greatly beloved. The eldest surviving daughter, Jane, of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jas. McWaters, of Leighton, she was born in 1875. After leaving school she decided to take up the nursing profession and received her training in Adelaide and later came to the Burra Hospital where was a member of the staff. Whilst at Burra she applied for and received the appointment of Matron of Port Darwin Hospital where she remained for some time. Shortly after her return on September 23rd, 1908, she married Mr. A. D. McDonald, younger son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jas. McDonald of Leighton, and with this exception of a few years spent in Adelaide, has resided in that district ever since. Although essentially a home woman, any matters pertaining to the welfare of the district always had her individual support but it was in connection with her church her activities were the greatest. Her death will cause a vacancy in ths Tronmine Methodist Church which it will be hard to fill. She was the Superintendent of the Worshipping League and Vice-President of the Ladies Guild besides helping in other branches of church and school work. Only last Wednesday she was present at the State school picnic and appeared to be in her usual good health and spirits, consequently her death came as a terrific blow to her husband, her family and a host of friends The funeral which took place from the Hospital at the Kooringa cemetery was one of the largest seen in Burra for many years, nearly 70 cars being in the cortege. The hearse was one mass of lovely floral tributes amongst which was one from the Ironmine Church, Guild and Worshipping League and another from the Mid-North Polo and Croquet Clubs, the latter of which Mrs McDonald was a member. Besides the bereaved widower there is a family of four, two sons, Messrs Donald and Colin McDonald and Misses Annie and Jean McDonald.

Port Gawler, August 4.
Another accident of a very serious and melancholy nature happened here on the 20th of last month to Mr. Denis McEvoy. He was on his way from Gawler. in his spring-cart, by himself, and when about half way home, it appears, he stood up in his cart with his back to the wheel, for the purpose of lighting his pipe, it being dark at the time. When he struck the match the horse walked on, and he instantly fell over the wheel aud injured his spine. Notwithstanding, he rose and tried to catch his horse, when he fell again, and was never able to rise. Mr. Amos Goodger was returning from Gawler with his wagon and team, when he found him lying on the road in a helpless condition. He instantly put him in his wagon and conveyed him to his (Mr. Goodger's) home, which was much nearer than Mr. McEvoy's. He lay there in a helpless state until Dr. Popham arrived, who pronounced him in a very dangerous state, and also stated that the sooner he was taken home the better. This was accordingly done. The neighbours, who collected in numbers to render assistance (which they are always ready to do in this vicinity in any case of need), had to carry him about five miles, which was done with the greatest ease. In about three days after, however, death ended his sufferings, notwithstanding the skill of two medical men. His remains were conveyed to Gawler on the 27th July, and there was one of the most respectable and largest funerals that have ever left this district. Mr. McEvoy was, as a neighbour, well respected by all who knew him. He was an old colonist of 25 years' standing. He leaves a widow and a family of nine, who are all well provided for.

THE WEST COAST SENTINEL
Friday, August 1st, 1930
Death has robbed the West Coast of another old and respected identity in the person of Mr. Joseph McEvoy, of Cungena, whose death occurred at the Streaky Bay public hospital early on Tuesday morning. The deceased gentleman, who was 80 years of age, was ill for about a week before his demise, which came as a shock to his friends. The late Mr. McEvoy was of a versatile nature and delighted in controversy. He was conversant with practically all matters of public interest, and until a short while ago was a regular and interesting correspondent to the open columns of ‘The Sentinel.’
The late Mr. Joseph McEvoy was born at Dry Creek, near Adelaide, in the year 1850. He lived in the Gawler district for many years, where he learnt the blacksmithing trade. At the age of 28 he married Miss Eliza Case, of Gawler. Later he shifted to Booleroo Centre, and with a brother took up farming. He afterwards farmed in the Wirrabara district, and then went to Hammond where he lived for 23 years, farming with varying success. He came to the West Coast in 1903, and first resided at Lake Wangary, share farming with the late Mr. W.T. Mortlock for four years. From there Mr. McEvoy took up land in the Hundred of Mortlock, and farmed there for four years, but was not very successful in the early days. He sold out and
went to Sceales Bay for four years, afterwards taking up land at Cungena, where he farmed with his son, Charles.
Mrs. McEvoy predeceased her husband by eleven years. The deceased always enjoyed good health, and was only ill for one week before his death; he passed away peacefully. It was pleasing to him to have every member of the family at home at Cungena last Sunday.
The deceased’s father and mother both came from Ireland. His mother lived to be 96. He had eight brothers and one sister,
and four brothers are still living. One (a twin) still resides in the Gawler district. The late Mr. McEvoy could relate some
interesting tales of the early days in Adelaide, when, with his twin brother, they used to ride bicycles to the city, the streets
of which could then be traversed in about half an hour. He used to tell good stories of the bullock teams in the city streets,
and how he spent interesting times watching the shoppers loading their purchases on to bullock waggons and such like.
There were eight children, four sons and four daughters. The sons are Messrs FJ, ER, and CJ McEvoy of Cungena, and
AD McEvoy of Port Lincoln. The daughters are Mesdames N. Adkins (Broken Hill), M. Phyland (Sceales Bay),
R. Plush (Mortana) and FC Feltus (Piednippie). There are 33 grandchildren.
