Windsor & Richmond Gazette, Saturday, March 10, 1900 - page 4 An Unusual Proceeding As a rule when a Forester gets a removal, everybody in the district is glad, and more especially is this the case with timber-getters. However, this rule was very much altered on Thursday last at Bulahdelah, on the Myall River, when it became known that the local Forester Mr. W. F. Crowley, had received a well-merited promotion, and a speedy removal to the Taree district. Although living far apart, word soon got round, and the timber-getters rolled up in force at Stewart's Hall, Bulahdelah, together with a large gathering of the general public. Mr. J. Peterie was voted to the chair, and everybody present vied with each other for a couple of hours in saying things both kind and complimentary of Mr. Crowley, and although one and all were pleased to hear of his advancement, yet all were sorry to lose him, as they had all learnt to admire and respect him for his many manly and obliging qualities. The party afterwards entertained Mr. Crowley at a banquet at the River View Hotel, and the meeting adjourned at a late hour, after a most enjoyable social evening had been spent. Mr. Crowley is well favourably known in Windsor, and his good wife is a daughter of Mrs. B. Barnett, of George-street. Mrs. Crowley has been staying with her mother for a time and left this week for her new home, accompanied by Miss Stella Barnett.
