hi List, l have recently purchased some old family letters from the Hull Universtity in England.One is written by my Gr.Gr.Uncle,Griffith Verdon Dixon,it is written at Koonwarra on June 4th;1899.My interest is what he was doing there,he may have been on a Dixon family property in the area,He mentions in this letter an old friend of his taking a trip back "home" to England-W.Taek,or W.Tack.As well as working the family farm Griffith is known to have worked in Gold mines and also the Wood and Logging industry.there is also mention in another of the letters of Griffith helping with construction of a railway Line in Gippsland.l also know he was into building,as he tendered for the building of the Laanecoorie Mechanics Institute here in Victoria,a tender he received but later forfeited. If anyone can help me with any info at all concerning Griffith Verdon Dixon,re Koonwarra,l would be most grateful,thanking you,Pauline Pendlebury[Dixon].
