Hi Denise I've just come across an article re Crawford and Co and 'Tragic bush fire episode - Coach Destroyed - Man's Dreadful Fate' (Upper Murray & Mitta Herald, 1905) Quite long so I'll make a copy and bring it to the circus, which I'll be at part of Sunday.

Thak you very much Chris. I only wish I could actually find the END. I haven't been able to unearth what happened exactly to C and Co = final days were in 1933 according to a paper report - but it was either sold off in franchise type operations, or more likely became a public company at some point in the lat 1880's. I love to get snippets ike this. Wonder why the horse was so well known. ONly last week I found out a bit more abut the horses they use (on the high right anyway), the breed or something, but doubt if I could unearth more. May try when I return. see you soon! Denise

Thanks Pamela. That is great - I look forard to it. Can you give it to someone please to pass onto me, as I shan't be there until dinner. regards and thanks Denise ----- Original Message ----- From: <Pamela.Lockwood@csiro.au> To: <AUS-VIC-NE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 9:56 AM Subject: RE: [AVNE] Demise of Crawford & Co???? > Hi Denise > > I've just come across an article re Crawford and Co and 'Tragic bush fire > episode - Coach Destroyed - Man's Dreadful Fate' (Upper Murray & Mitta > Herald, 1905) > Quite long so I'll make a copy and bring it to the circus, which I'll be at > part of Sunday. > > Regards > Pamela > > -----Original Message----- > From: Denise McMahon [mailto:helendmc@powerup.com.au] > Sent: Friday, 8 March 2002 8:38 AM > To: AUS-VIC-NE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [AVNE] Demise of Crawford & Co???? > > > Thak you very much Chris.
