Bron, Dr. Benjamin Clay Hutchinson is mentioned on a number of occasions in "A Hospital in Wangaratta" - D. M. Whittaker. "The local doctors were invited to assist. Dr. Benjamin Clay Hutchinson agreed to accept the position of Resident Medical Officer at £100 per annum. The doctor had his own practice in the borough and also had the contract to attend the railway construction gangs, as this was the time the Melbourne to Sydney railway was under construction..........In May, 1873, Dr. Hutchinson was given authority to order more instruments from London to a value of not more than £25." And for Denise, "To celebrate the opening of the Hospital, a grand ball had been held on 31 July, 1871. .......Messrs. Crawford & Co. advertised special coaches from several outlying settlements."

The Benalla ensign and farmer's and squatter's journal. 1868-1872 This seems to be the earliest newspaper the State Library has from Benalla. What paper do you think they would have read before this e.g. 1852 - 55 Any ideas please ? Anne

Hi Denise, All being well Peter & I will be attending the Circus - Sunday and Monday only. Peter is recovering from a dose of shingles so I can't be 100% certain for a few more days. I did email Di a couple of weeks ago. We would arrive on Saturday evening and hopefully stay at the Pinsent. I'll contact them direct. Yes I want to go to the Milawa cemetery as I have a number of rellies buried there. I grew up only a stones throw from there. Bonnie Joy.

Hi Lois, thanks very much for that, John Pearson Rowe was a doctor he started out in Hobart where he had a clinic to help the needy, he did not practice in Vic. He was also the founder of Rochester, it was to be called "Rowechester" but when gazetted the clerk assumed the spelling was wrong and changed it to Rochester. We will let any descendants know about the cross when we find them.

Hi Nandina ORR is my married name and, as far as we know, only two Orr's came out from Ireland. Joseph and James, in the 1890's, both settled in the Nathalia district. Research has shown that their siblings who remained in Ireland died without marrying or having children. They were from Derry. Sorry but I doubt that there is a link.

Hi Sharon Well - we were in luck. When I went out to the cemetery this afternoon Glenda Miller was there - she is very active in the Historical Society and Cemetery Trust. Glenda took me right to the headstone I was after in the RC section. It is a very nice monument in the form of a celtic cross and the grave is surrounded by a simple silver painted fence about a foot high. The inscription is centred down the cross as follows; To The Memory of John Pearson Rowe died 6th May 1878 Aged 68 years R.I.P. Glenda also told me that there has been a very good book written about the family and she will get me the title/publisher etc. At the very top of the cross there are the letters AMDC. My father seems to think John Rowe was in the medical field but I can't find anything in my books on Euroa about him. Next time I'm over there with a camera I'll take a photo for you (I did try to sketch the cross but I have no idea how to put it on the computer). Also, Glenda did say that the Trust are concerned that the base of the cross is cracking and they are not sure what to do about it and if there are any relations out there who want to contact her about it, please do.

Another snippet from the Diary. I don't have a date, and would be delighted if someone could fill me in on the date of death. "Pioneer Alps Coachman Dies" Corowa (NSW) Friday. Mr. John Buckley aged.....(can' t read)...has died. He was well known as a driver for the firm of Crawford and Connolly, which in the early days operated extensively throughout the north east. Mr. Buckley earned the distinction of being the first man to drive a coach from Omeo across Glen Wills and Sunnysdie to Tallangatta." Thanks everyone Denise

Just one more mention: "Albury Banner" 17 Feb 1866 Albury Hospital - In consequence of the resignation by Dr Barnett of his appointment as one of the medical officers of the Hospital through some alleged personal grievance with Dr Hutchinson, and on his declining to act with him upon his being appointed Honorary Visiting Surgeon, a special meeting of the subscribers was held at the Mechanic's Institute on Thursday when Dr Hutchinson was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy and to act in cooperation with Dr Keatinge.

Does anyone know of this name in the north east? In particular James J. Devitt Denise

Beechworth Wednesday (no date on the cutting) Mr. James Galt Orr, latemember of the firm of J.H. Gray and Co. was entertained at the Commercial Hotel this evening on the occasion of his lealving Beechwroth, where he has resided for the past 22 years. He was presented with a gold chain and locket.The president of the united shire occupied the chair, and Mr. F. Brown MLC, and Mr. H.A. Crawford JP, the vice chairs.

I get sidetracked when looking thru Hiram's scrapbook - it has 60 years of cuttings pasted into it, and it so EASY to just wander off. Here is something I found which may interest some - "The First Newspaper in Beechworth - In reply to a correspondent from Bright we may state that the first newspaper issued in Beechworth was The Ovens and Murray Advertiser. The first number, a copy of wich may be seen at our office, was published by Mr. F.H. Nixon, for the proprietors, Messrs. F.H. Nixon adn Co., on the 6th January 1855, so that the paper is in its 21st year. The journal was first issued once a week adn the first number, which consists of 8 jpages demy folio size, contains a goodly amount of advertisements and a fair quantity of reading matter - Ovens Spectator" Denise

Bron...................and Jan.......... I have found the article to which I was referring. It was in the Ovens and Murray Advertiser Thursday 30/9/1869 a farewell banquet to Hiram Crawford. speeches galore, toasts, singing (think the singing was more often and louder as time progressed) but here is the bit Dr. Hutchinson said - still no christian name -- and nothing in the Diary at all about Hutchinson, but small reference to Buckland. I shall have to dig further for that connection, it is there somewhere. "Dr. Hutchinson. who was warmly received responded to the toast by saying that his friend Mr. STrickland, had touched him in rather a tender point, when he alluded to Queensland squatters. However profitable the enterprise shown by those who had entered on squatting pursuits in Queensland might have been to the country, it had been something else to those engaged. They had heard some remarks about pioneers, but with the exception of Mr. Strickland, no one present had any idea of what pioneering was. He (Dr. Hutchinson) was glad that he had got away in safety from pioneering and its delights, and he hoped no enterprising person present would be foolish enough to follow in his footsteps. Pioneerings meant doing without water; without food, unless what could be gathered in the bush; sleeping under a gum tree for 364 night out of the 365, besides many other inconveniences which he would not recount."

Just found it, in Hiram's Dairy. Henry Page died, not Augustus. So at this point in time we assume Augustus was still alive.

Peter listowner Can we list the emulets and short cuts for various letters and numbers - I have a short list of French/German things I can do now. If you prefer then people can contact me privately. I have not yet unearthed my list of things like pound signs etc etc. Denise

Thanks PEter, you done good!!! This won't be the Page to whom I refer, unless it was his brother. But then I don't know what his brother ended up doing after landing in 1853. Page was referred to in Hirams Diary when he met up with him in Beechworth October 53 and then they both did some mining around the creeks and then zapped over to the Buckland rush. Page died there in the epidemic. I am only assuming that it is the cabin mate Augustus, and not his brother also on the Texas H.C..
