• Notes

  Clearly a hugely respected and influential man of Ulmarra and surrounds. There are numerous mentions of his prowess with horses (of which he seemed to own a number), entering most local agricultural shows and winning most of the prizes! Committee member of Ulmarra Agricultural Association. Other mentions include leading church services and attending various charity functions, parades and prize givings, appearing as witnesses in cases of wrong doing Quite the socialite!!
