Bev It was destroyed by fire and yes, Mr Edward Patch owned it at the time. I have not got the date at hand, but an event that occurred would confirm that it was 1913 I have a photo of Mr Patch, his wife and two children Di ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bev Walker" <bbwalker@vic.chariot.net.au> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 9:13 PM Subject: [HC] Re.
