Geelong Advertiser, 19 Nov 1873

Mr. Walters, of the Barrabool Hills, who has just returned from a visit to the Wimmera district, relates that a very large tract of country has been taken up in that part of the colony by selectors. Most of these hail from South Australia, where the land is generally of inferior quality, and rapidly getting worked out. Not a few are farmers from Mount Gambier, where the soil originally of first-class quality, has also been thoroughly impoverished by continuous cropping. He states that a large area of new soil has been turned up this season and placed under wheat, which is at present, as a rule, looking most promising. The soil is generally a blueish clay, mixed with sand and well adapted for wheat growing. Timber is plentiful and fencing cheap. A large amount of dummying is carried on, the selectors finding that the limit allowed of half a section, or 320 acres, is altogether inadequate to enable them to combine grazing with agriculture and make their holdings renumerative in the face of the disadvantage from which they suffer in consequence of their distance from market and the seaboard.

LAND SELECTING IN THE WIMMERA DISTRICT

A well known farmer from the Barrabool Hills who has just returned from a visit to the Wimmera District, gives a very interesting account of the way in which settlement is progressing in that neighborhood. He states that the town of Horsham is the centre of the new territory, from whence the homes of the selectors radiate in every direction for distances of 15 to 20 miles. The town itself is progressing rapidly. Buildings are going up in every direction, and there is a great scarcity of tradesmen, particularly bricklayers, who he believes, would be able to earn as much as 20s. per day. The buildings already constructed and in process of erection are of timber, brick and stone, the former largely predominating. The town is situated on the banks of the Wimmera river, where good clay is obtained in abundance for brickmaking. A hard, white freestone, suitable for building, is obtained from the Mackenzie Creek, a short distance away. As a proof of the way in which the value of property is improving, it is stated that recently an offer was made on behalf of the Bank of Victoria of £2000, for an allotment which two years ago was offered for sale at £100. On the Natimuk Creek, about twenty miles distant, a new township has just been surveyed. In this locality the population is a mixed one, but the Teutonic race preponderates. Most of them hail from the sister colony of South Australia, and every week there are fresh arrivals, principally from Mount Gambier, where the farms are getting worked out. The German residents, as a rule, content themselves with areas of 50 to 100 acres, which they are now busily engaged cultivating and otherwise improving. As a sign of what they are doing, our informant states that a few days ago a tea meeting was held to celebrate the opening of a new church which they had constructed at a cost of £220. Of this amount £150 was contributed by the time the structure was finished. Two hundred persons sat down to tea, and Mr. J. Smale [sic] - a gentleman well known in Geelong- presided, and delivered an address which was well received. The minister of the church gave an address in German. The Rev. J. Hilliard, of the Wesleyan denomination; Rev. J. Warren of the Bible Christian Society at Camperdown; and Mr. Clarke, J.P., of Horsham, took part in the proceedings. In this very neighborhood, which is becoming so well populated as the meeting indicates, only about eighteen months ago a person might ride for a whole day without encountering house or resident. The country around consists of extensive plains intersected with what are termed blind creeks, that contain an abundance of water in winter but get dried up in the course of a dry summer. There are belts of timber, principally a kind of box, which splits readily and is well adapted for fencing. Bull-oak, which grows as straight as a rush, is employed to construct very neat and comfortable cottages. During the past season a large quantity of wheat has been grown. The quality is excellent, and at present it realises 4s. 6d. per bushel in the local market. There is an abundance of fine wiry grass admirably adapted for thatching and the roofs of some of the residences are finished in such a style as to give the whole building a decidedly pretty as well as comfortable appearance. The country is what is known as "Crab-hole Plains." In winter, and even till an advanced period in summer, the holes are filled with water. The higher ridges are composed of a vegetable mould, which mixed with the lighter subsoil makes a compound sufficiently fertile for the cultivation of cereals or English grasses. A remarkable feature at present is the absence of grass at the tops of the hillocks, where the soil seems peculiarly rich, while the basins are covered with herbage. As a rule grazing and agriculture is being combined. Where the quality of the land is tolerably good half sections of 320 acres have been taken up; where the land is inferior the members of families have clubbed together and erected ring fences around more extensive areas, which are intended simply to be used for grazing purposes. The soil is susceptible of being greatly improved by drainage, the subsoil is impervious or nearly so, and by constructing dams of moderate size the settlers are able to secure a permanent supply of water. Just now those who have got their land under tillage are busily engaged sowing wheat. It is important to get the seed in the ground as early as possible before the winter rain sets in. A ploughing match is at present on the tapis. It is to come off on the 28th. inst. at Natimuk, and £50 has already been collected for prizes. Among the intending competitors are some of the champion ploughmen of the Barrabool Hills - Treadwell, Macurdie and others. Some of the best ploughmakers of Melbourne and Geelong have signified their intention of introducing their implements, which, it is believed will, when once witnessed and tried, supersede the oldfashioned ploughs now in use.

THE WIMMERA DISTRICT

We take the following from the second of the papers on the subject, contributed to the Australasian by its travelling reporter:- "A short distance to the eastward of St. Mary's Lake homestead is one of the best farms around Tooan, belonging to Messrs J.T.C. Heard and Brothers, who hail from the Barrabool Hills, and have established themselves on their selections for three years. This season they have had 100 acres under wheat, which has done better than the previous crop, which gave a return of 25 bushels to the acre. The present season's crop suffered more from the effects of frost than from the dry weather, but even with that drawback it was second to no other in the Wimmera District, and is expected to yield over 30 bushels per acre. About six acres were sown with Cape barley, which has also done very well, and a small quantity of the English was also tried, with very fair results. A small crop of potatoes looks promising, but is scarcely equal to the previous one, when the return was about six tons to the acre. Maize is being grown upon a small scale as an experiment, and if it succeeds, as it promises to do at present, its cultivation will be extended. The farm is well fenced and subdivided into convenient-sized paddocks, and it is the intention of the Messrs Heard to sow down several of them with English grasses during the coming season. About 1000 sheep are kept at present, merino ewes and Lincoln rams, the latter being of a rather superior quality from the flock of the Hon. T. Bromell. The Messrs Heard are paying some attention to the breeding of horses, and are the owners of Young Colonel, a powerful, handsome, dark chestnut, three-year-old, heavy draught stallion, by Ploughboy (imported), bred by Mr. J. Baker, of Larpent, Colac. Among the other animals the most noticeable are two fine mares by the Marquis of Lorne and Young Thumper, a pair of handsome well-matched buggy ponies by Dr. Lardner, and a promising blood yearling filly by Alarm out of a Sotterly mare. The Messrs Heard are fully alive to the advantages of using labour-saving implements, and having last season used one of T. Robinson & Co.'s gang ploughs with great success, they were induced this harvest to try a side-delivery reaper, made by that firm, which has given great satisfaction. They are also the owners of a very compact threshing plant, which travels the district during the season. To the south and eastward of Heard's farm, nearly all the available land has been selected during the last three years, in many cases by families, who have secured contiguous blocks, and work them together. Taking a course nearly due east from Heard's farm, I travel for several miles through rather poor country, the greater part moderately timbered, coming across an isolated selection occasionally. There is nothing along this route calling for special comment until the farm of Mr. A.W. Walters is reached, about six miles south of Natimuk. Mr. Walters, who is the President of the Wimmera Shire, was formerly farming at the Barrabool Hills, and has been located four years in the Wimmera district. The various members of his family hold about 2000 acres, the greater portion being heavily-timbered land, and the soil for the most part a sandy loam. But a comparatively small area is under cultivation for grain crops, it being Mr. Walters' intention to devote his energies chiefly to the breeding of live stock. Experiments are being made with various grasses and other forage plants, in order to ascertain which are the kinds adapted for the climate, as it is intended to improve the pasture as much as possible. So far, rib grass and cocksfoot have done better than any other grasses, the plants stooling out well, and covering the ground, while the rye grass grows too thin. Lucerne has been tried, but it has not done so well as expected, though it will probably do better as the plants get older. A large plot of maize has been sown for cutting green, and it has done so well that Mr. Walters intends to try to get a crop to ripen next season. There are about 1800 sheep, merinos, which are considered to be better adapted to the locality than any other class. Superior rams are used, from the well-known flock of Mr. Dennis, of Carr's Plains. The property is subdivided by good substantial fences into several paddocks, and a great deal of labour has been expended in clearing the land of dead timber. Each paddock is provided with a dam or water-hole, and as the sub-soil is very retentive, they are expected to hold at least 12 months' supply. This season, however, has been too dry for them to get filled, and as a consequence the supply of water is rather short."

Obituary

Mr. A.W. WALTER

The hand of time has removed from the district one of its oldest and most highly respected pioneers in the person of Mr. Ambrose Wilcox Walter. Not only as a pioneer was the late Mr. Walter respected, but as one to whom all in the district could go for advice at all times. This district has lost a friend and champion, in one who fought for the interest of the Wimmera in the early days of settlement. All honor to the heart that is still.

The late Mr. A.W. Walters was born in Devonshire, England, on the 11th. April 1833. He came out to Victoria in the 'Marchioness of Londonderry' in 1853 with his uncle, his parents following a few years later. For a time he worked on the Barrabool Hills, Geelong. A little later he, like many others, tried his fortune on the goldfields, but met with little success [?]. He could relate in detail many incidents of the Ballarat riot. On one occasion, when he and his mates were returning to their camp, they found that two of their party had been bound and robbed of their belongings by Melville, the bushranger. Not being successful on the goldfields, he returned to the Geelong district, with his youngest brother, starting a butchering business on the Barrabool Hills. This venture proved very successful. In 1862 Mr. Walter sold his interest in the business to his brother, and entered into farming pursuits. It was in the same year that he married Mary Ann Smale, the only daughter [?] of Mr. Thos. Smale, of Barrabool Hills. He continued to work the farm for 11 years. Being now anxious to secure more land, and make provision for a family that was growing, he was attracted to the Wimmera. He selected land about the year 1872, and shifted the family, which consisted of his wife and five sons, in the beginning of 1874. From that time up to the time of his death he practically lived on the land which he first selected. For about four years he lived in the Casterton district, where he had purchased a property, but returned again to the Wimmera and continued to work his property for a number of years. About seven years ago he decided to retire from active life, and settled in Geelong, having leased his property to two of his sons, but was a regular visitor to the Noradjuha district, with which he kept in close touch.

Mr. Walter took a keen interest in all public matters. In the Geelong district he occupied the position of councillor in the Barrabool Shire, and very soon after his arrival in the Wimmera he was elected as one of the councillors to the Wimmera Shire. From that time until his retirement seven years ago he held important positions in the Wimmera and Arapiles Shire Councils, and also the Western Wimmera Irrigation and Water Supply Trust, his term as a representative of various municipalities extending over 41 years. He continued to be a member of the Western Wimmera Trust right up to the time of its abolition in 1908, and his photograph appears in the group that was taken when the functions of that body were handed over to the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission. Amongst his colleagues at the time who have since gone the way of the flesh were Messrs. John Bushby and John Cunningham, both of whom were prominently identified with the fortunes of the Wimmera Shire Council.

Mr. Walter saw, and participated in, the fight between selector and squatter. Writing in the Horsham "Times" of November 20, 1914, Mrs. M. Bodey mentions this phase of early life. "Time" she wrote, "evens up all things, and the people who are enjoying prosperous times now are apt to forget that they owe much to those who first blazed the track. No doubt the squatters who saw that which through long use they regarded as their own wrested from them, felt rather injured, and while some bowed with good grace to the inevitable, others displayed their resentment in a childish fashion. For example, when Mr. Matthew Bodey, the first selector to be elected as a councillor of the Wimmera Shire took his seat at the Council table, the two squatters remaining on the Council resigned their seats rather than sit with a selector. One of the vacancies thus created was filled by another selector, Mr. Ambrose Walter of Noradjuha." The deceased also assisted in most local institutions, the Horsham A and P Society, Mechanics Institute, the Noradjuha Cemetery Trust, and the Noradjuha to Horsham Railway League all received his support. In connection with the last named he spared neither time nor trouble, and was one of a deputation from Noradjuha and Natimuk that got the final promise from the Minister of Railways that the line would be constructed, his colleagues on that occasion being Messrs. A.E. Beard, J. Kuse, and James Keyte (representing Natimuk), and A. Sinclair, H. Kruger, and himself (representing Noradjuha). Many years ago he was appointed a justice of the peace, which position he held to the time of his death. He was an ardent supporter of the Methodist Church, and held the position of trustee to the Bible Christian Church at Horsham before the union took place. He was also a trustee of the church at Noradjuha and at the annual conference often represented the Noradjuha circuit. His hospitality was well known. His home was always open to any minister, irrespective of denomination, and in the early days the services of the Bible Christian Church were conducted in his house until, in later years, the State school was utilised as a place of worship.

His remains were taken from the old home "Oakleigh Park" on Friday July 16th., and laid at rest in the Noradjuha cemetery. The cortege was followed by a fairly large number of representatives from all parts of the district. The Rev. E.E. Shakell of Noradjuha, conducted the burial service. The seven sons of the late Mr. Walter acted as pallbearers namely, Albert, Thomas, Ellis, Ambrose, Frederick, Sydney and Norman. In addition to the widow whose three daughters - Mrs. H.M. Fowler, Mrs. G. Nitschke, and Mrs. L.W. Cranage. A sister of the deceased, Mrs. Bromell widow of the late Hon. T. Bromell, of Hensley Park, Hamilton, survives him.

Ambrose married SMALE Mary Ann 6 Mar 1862, Bible Christian Chapel, Barrabool Hills VIC. Mary (daughter of SMALE Thomas, JP and SAMELLS Eliza) was born 3 Mar 1845, Brownlowe Street, East Stonehouse DEV; died 29 Oct 1918, 44 Buckland Avenue, Newtown VIC; was buried 2 Nov 1918, Noradjuha Cemetery, Noradjuha VIC.

Edward WALTER "disappeared" from Hamilton in the late 1880s for reasons which are unknown, but he might have been a victim of the 1880s economic crash.

He was the "black sheep" of his family being the Secretary of the Hamilton Coursing Club and was heavily involved in the Hamilton Racing Club where he is recorded as Clerk of the Course in newspaper reports of the time. Coming from a family of devout Bible Chistians, it is no surprise to learn that his elder brother Ambrose Willcock WALTER would pointedly change the subject of conversation whenever Edward's name was mentioned.

Charles Vincent "Pud" TREADWELL a Noradjuha identity and distant relative of Edward, claimed to have seen him somewhere in northern NSW while he was there shearing. Edward was accompanied by a "new" wife and family.

WALTER - There were many expressions of regret in the Hamilton district when the death of Mr. H.O. Walter, of Grassmere, Hensleigh Park, became known. The late Mr. Walter was born in the Barrabool Hills district, and lived with his parents there till they removed to Warrayure. Following farming pursuits Mr. Walter early joined with his brother and selected land near Noradjuha. He was one of the pioneers of that district and could tell many interesting tales connected with the early settlers there. After his marriage in 1886 Mr. Walter selected land near Cavendish, acquiring part of the well-known estate of "Mokanger", where he resided till the time of his death. Mr. Walter's wife predeceased him fourteen years ago. The funeral was largely attended. Mrs. H.E. Leigh, of Ceres, is one of the family, which consists of two sons and four daughters.

Obituary

Mr. Fred Walter

The late Mr. F.J. Walter, whose death was announced in Thursday's issue, was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ambrose Walter. He was born at Barrabool Hills, Geelong, 52 years ago. When he was two years of age his parents removed to the Noradjuha district, but 38 years later they removed to this district, having acquired the "Heathfield" Estate near Lake Mundi. They resided at "Woodlands" on the Penola road, now owned by Messrs Chaffey Bros., and the members of the family attended the Casterton School, and consequently they are well known to many district residents. Mr. Walter had leased his Wimmera land, and after occupying "Heathfield" for four years he went back to Noradjuha, and "Heathfield" was leased until 20 years ago, when it was taken over by his son, the late Mr. Fred J. Walter, who successfully carried on the property till about 12 months ago when he sold it to Mr. Colin Cameron of "Dunan" Henty, and he himself purchased "Fernside" property at Bahgallah from Mr. D. McPhee, and also acquired the farm on the Wando Vale road known as "Sunny Hills" from the trustees of the late Mr. McLaughlin. The deceased was married 20 years ago, but 11 years ago last October his wife died unexpectedly whilst on a visit to his people at Noradjuha. She left two daughters and one son, as follows:- Freda, now aged 17 years; Alice, now 16 years; and Stanley, the baby, now 12 years. Mr. Walter, although busy with his property, did not neglect the interests of his daughters and son, and showered upon them a lavish affection. When they grew up to school age he purchased a house in Casterton and made his home in the town, and his main reason for disposing of "Heathfield" was that he could not be home as often as he wished. He usually enjoyed good health, but some years ago had been under an operation for appendicitis, from which he made a complete recovery. On the morning of Monday, 9th. ult. whilst milking his cow he was seized with severe pains in the stomach, and it was found necessary to operate on him. The operation was a serious one, and was performed by Dr. Douglas, of Hamilton, assisted by Drs. R.H. Hill and J.G. Sleeman. It appeared to be successful, and for several days the patient was reported to be holding his own, but was never pronounced out of danger, and early on Thursday morning last he suddenly passed away, having faithfully served his day and generation, leaving behind him a name honored throughout the district for uprightness of life and conduct.

During his illness, he was visited by several of his brothers, and everything that was possible was done for his comfort. In addition to his doubly bereaved children, he leaves three sisters and six brothers to mourn his loss. They are as follows:- Bertha (Mrs. Fowler, widow of the late Rev. H. Fowler); Hetty (Mrs. Nitschke), of Noradjuha, and Phenie (Mrs. L. Cranage), of Horsham; Bert, of Berwick, Gippsland; Thomas, of Coleraine; Ellis, of Ballarat; Sydney and Norman, both of Noradjuha, the latter being the owner of the original homestead.

The funeral took place at the Casterton New Cemetery on Friday afternoon, when there was a very large gathering, the outside districts being well represented. The burial service was conducted by the Rev. J.G. Searfe, in the absence of Rev. A. Bligh, who was attending the Methodist conference. Mr. Searfe said that all sections of the community would learn of the death of Mr. Walter with deep regret. He was a man of great integrity and would be sadly missed. He was a townsman whose cheerful kindness and Christian spirit was worthy of emulation. The body was enclosed in an oak casket with silver mountings, and was carried to its last resting place by four of his brothers: Ambrose, Norman, Sydney and Thomas and Messrs Cecil and Herman Hill, brothers of his late wife. Mr. W.J. Peden had charge of the mortuary [sic] arrangements.

In Memoriam

SERVICE TO LATE MR. F.J. WALTER

On Sunday evening, at the Casterton Methodist Church, an In Memoriam service to the late Mr. F.J. Walter was conducted by the Rev. A. Bligh. The pulpit had been draped with purple, relieved with bunches of white flowers, intermixed with purple. The singing was led by the male choir, of which Mr. Walter had been one of the prominent members, and Miss Ida Spurrell was the organist. The hymns chosen were most appropriate, and embraced some which the deceased had often lent assistance in rendering. Several of the brethren of the Sons of Temperance Lodge attended as a mark of respect to a deceased brother.

The Rev. A. Bligh read a biographical sketch of the deceased which stated that for many years he had been an active member of the Methodist Church. He took an active part in having a preaching place established at Lake Mundi, showing the value he placed on the preaching of the Gospel. His home was always open to ministers and local preachers, who were on innumerable occasions cheered by his hospitality. Eleven years ago his beloved wife was called Home to God, and during that trying time and in later years he proved his unfailing love and interest in the lives of his children, who were always dear to his heart, and he proved to be a "Father amongst Fathers." Ten years ago, largely in the interests of his family he moved into Casterton, during which time he had been a member and loyal worker in the Church. Sunday morning found him regular and punctual in his attendance at the services, and he helped in singing of praises to God. He had for some years been a trustee and the secretary of the Church Trust, and a more capable and thorough secretary one could not wish to find. At the last Quarterly meeting he was unanimously elected Circuit Steward. They looked forward to his term of office, but God had called him to a higher stewardship, and in this higher office he now served. Although we shall miss him, we would not (if we could) call him back, for God has designed some better thing for him. Mr. Walter also served the Church as a member of the male choir. He invariably took some prominent part, and his gifts and enthusiasm acted as an inspiration to the younger members of the choir. He sings no longer in the male choir, but rather in the choir of Heaven. With a new power he sings a new song. We are familiar with his last sudden illness. With a brave heart and grim determination he faced the operation from which he never recovered. In the days of his illness our brother held on to God in prayer, and having entered into this communion here, we are confident that he now enjoys a fellowship made perfect - that he is now with God in a brighter world. We cherish the memory of our late member. He speaks to us still. To the members of his family we extend our deepest sympathy, and pray that God who does not err, and Who is Love, will ever sustain and strengthen, and by His Holy Spirit give Divine comfort until the day break and the shadows of earthly limitations flee away.

Following this, the preacher delivered a most interesting address, the text being taken from Phil. 3:20 - "Our citizenship is in Heaven." He pointed out that there things that came to us that we never could get accustomed to, no matter how familiar. Death was one of these. Christ shared in our experiences as He wept over the grave of His friend Lazarus. It was only in the Christian faith that we found comfort when sorrows confront us. Life was a thoroughfare, leading to our heavenly home. The call comes to all to prepare for the grand inheritance, and as we enter this eternal kingdom and pass to the inheritance of our citizenship in heaven, we cannot fail to leave behind us a gracious influence - footprints that some forlorn and shipwrecked brother seeing shall take heart again. Nothing is more grand or noble than that others may so see Christ in us that when we have entered more fully into the inheritance of our heavenly citizenship it may be said of us - His God shall be my God, and his Saviour my Saviour.

To live for those who love you,
For those who think you true,
For the Heaven that lies above you,
And waits your coming too;
For the cause that needs assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
And the good that you can do.

He hoped that all would have grace to follow in the footsteps of the Master, and win the citizenship of Heaven.

Mr. A.G. Finlayson feelingly rendered the solo "He wipes the tear from every eye", and at the close of the service the congregation stood with bowed heads while Miss Spurrell played "The Dead March."
