"Obituary - J. M. Haig. A very largely attended funeral was conducted at Winchester Cemetery on Saturday morning, May 4, when the remains of the late John Maurice Haig of Carnamah and Winchester were laid to rest. Deceased who passed peacefully away at the North Midlands Hospital, Three Springs on Thursday last is survived by a widow and four sons and three daughters. The Rev. S. Coxon officiated at the graveside, the chief mourners present being Edward (son), H. Pope, Jnr. and A. C. Bierman (sons in law) and Brian Haig (grandson). The pall bearers were: Messrs J. K. Forrester, E. K. Wells, G. A. Raffan, J. L. Adams, … Bowman, R. D. Gell and W. …..on. The high esteem in which deceased had been held by all with whom he had come in contact, was well voiced by the Rev. Coxon during the course of a very impressive service. The Rev. Coxon considered that the late Mr. Haig had lived the life of a man with very high principles. He had been an inspiration to everyone, and his death was a sad loss to the district. The late Mr. Haig arrived in Sydney in 1880 from England where he was born on August 10, 1859. From there he went to Queensland after which he came to Kalgoorlie. Here he stayed for 12 years as manager of the Golden Link and Eclipse Mines. In 1898 he married Ada Rose Turner of Moralana Station, South Australia. In 1908 he left Kalgoorlie for South Australia where he had purchased a station. He returned to Western Australia in 1926 and took up a farm at Winchester. Of latter years, although still having an interest in the farm, he has been living at Carnamah. Vale one of nature's gentleman."

"It would be idle to disguise the fact that the 1914 drought and the 1915 dry blight… have hit me very badly. At the same time I consider it not more than fair to my interest to mention that the acreage ready for cultivation compares very favourable with any of my neighbours. I have now in crop 620 acres, fallowed 120 acres, half cleared 80 acres, a total of 820 acres of which I intend seeding 700 acres in 1916 and fallowing 120 acres for 1917 crop. Besides the latter, I intend, weather permitting to plow in & fallow another 500 acres scrubland. Therefore with all my acreage & given a couple of normal seasons there can be no doubt of my ability to put my finances not only straight, but also safe. The land has shown what it can do & it is that, which in spite of the bitterness created by the last disappointment, still fires me this conviction & the courage & determination to succeed... Expected Return Season 1915: 150 tons chaff, 300 bags oats @ 7/-, 30 bags barley @ 8/- and 500 bags wheat (1500 bushels) @ 4/-. Total £717. Estimated expenditure of putting in and taking off crop 1916: Living expenses (stores etc) £200, Wages £250, Super for 700 acres (incl freight) £150, Tractor oil [petrol] £90, Machinery instalments £130, spare parts £50, Clearing 80 acres @ 23/6 £100, Contingencies £72."

From The Midlands Advocate newspaper, Thursday 13 August 1931:
Hans Haussler of Winchester - A STORY THAT OUGHT TO BE READ
"So far we have read nothing about the life of Hans Haussler, which closed recently at Winchester, after long years of battle with adverse circumstances. Hans Haussler won for himself a large place in the affections of those who came to know him during his eighteen years residence in the Midlands. From his boyhood he had he had lived under the British flag, and spent a considerable portion of his life in India and Burma managing different commercial concerns for British companies. His prolonged residence in the tropics did not agree with his wife's health. One evening as he was walking through the city of London his attention was attracted by a brilliantly lighted advertisement of the Midland Railway Company's Ready Made Farm Scheme in Western Australia. After going into the matter with his wife and the officials in London, he decided to come to Western Australia with his wife and young daughter. Arriving at Winchester he threw himself into his new work with all the energy and zeal he was capable of. In this respect he was ably assisted by his wife, a woman of great personal charm. She not only attended to the domestic part of the farm life but she helped during the busy periods with the field activities. They were joyous days. The land was to them a new found love. Mrs. Haussler was one who never knew the necessity of performing menial tasks. She had had no training in domestic affairs and her life in India and Burma where labour and domestic help was so easily procured had not helped in the preparation for her life in West Australia. Her part in the rough pioneering work is an epic of the ???? which finds its parallel in those hardy settlers who arrived here at the dawn of West Australia's history. This beautiful and gifted lady was an ideal host who was ever ready with her cheery word and hearty welcome, and attendance upon the smallest wish of her guests. "Gregorfields" became known throughout the State as a home whose glory was hospitality. Her life was devoted to the service of mankind. To her the weary came and were refreshed. The sick and the sad and the needy knew her for the best thing God had made. Her sympathy embraced all things that had life. Bird and beast and flower found in her a friend. She was one with nature. Her friendships grew and deepened. The lowly and the great came to the home of Hans Haussler and his wonderful wife. Such is the effect of true refinement. There was no searching for guests, and no striving after effect. The friends who came to know the Haussler's valued them for their innate refinement. There was no tinsol about them. There was no display. There was no showing off. They were gentle folk, and others who were judges of the real from the false took their measure quickly. They were joyous days. We are tempted to repeat it. And like every other record the narrative is suddenly pulled up with this sentence:-"Then came the War." And they were Germans. Though Hans Haussler had lived most of his life in British countries, it was Germany that gave him his birth and infant nurture. His true friends never wavered. They were sure of the Haussler's. But the old joy departed from "Gregorfields." A cloud had descended upon them. And they never embarrassed their friends. Yet it was so difficult to carry on. The capital needed for their work was swept away. The source from which it flowed disappeared, for his capital was confiscated by the Fatherland. Labour was hard to get in any case in 1915 when every able bodied man was being called upon to defend the Empire. Apart from this there was so little money to spare. Yet these two people suffered in silence. But Hans Haussler and his wife laboured on. It was a fight for existence. They were no weaklings. Man and wife looked after the stock and put the crop in. And the crop promised well. Then in 48 hours they saw 400 acres of record crop utterly destroyed by rust and septoria. Nevertheless, the motto of the Haussler's was "Onward, ever Onward." They still went on making plans for the future development of their home. They and the soil were one. Some day the cloud would lift. And the man worth while showed that he could smile when everything went dead wrong. A young engineer who had been employed on the farm for a little while revealed that he had a little capital and more brains. He entered into a partnership with Hans Haussler. It was then known as Haussler and Zuegg. That helped things. Then came the unkindest cut of all. Mrs. Haussler died. Hitherto she had shared every interest in the farm's activities. Still he carried on. His partner, Mr. Zuegg married Miss Haussler. Then Hans Haussler began to know failing health. The financial slump of the recent year added considerably to his worry, and on Sunday July 1st he passed away to his rest in his sleep. It was nature's anodyne to a life of struggle. All his old friends met to pay tribute to one who was of enemy birth, but of whom they felt sure that there was no one who loved Western Australia more than he."
