Often when I wish to escape the rat race, I am short of money but have a little fuel in the car and digital photos are free or its raining and I cannot go to work fencing I head off into the hills. I like to look at the old towns and the grave stones which sometimes tell a story when you get home and Google some of the early settlers names found in what would have been bloody hard times when the women were just as tough as the men. Saddening is the amount of kids who passed away early. I found this gravestone for example last year and upon searching at home I learned William had taken on a boxer in a travelling troupe and won. Sadly he died soon after in a railway accident. Trivial I know but interesting to do if you are bored or curious about what occurred in the past in this instance in the timber town of Jarrahdale. The following could also be found on Google. Scrivener, William, d. 10/21/1908 Jarrahdale, age: 27 years, erected by his loving wife Phoebe G. Scrivener, accidentally killed at Jarrahdale Mrs. William Scrivener, of No. 6 Mill, Jarrahdale, and Mr. and Mrs. W. Scrivener and family wish to THANK their many friends for their kindness, letters, telegrams, and floral tributes, and other tokens of sympathy in their recent sad and sudden bereavement; also to Dr. Moore and nurse of the Jarrahdale Hospital for their unremitting attention.
