From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 1 February 1947:
Obituary - Mr. Stanley Leopold Hidden - Death of Prominent District Resident
"By the death of Mr. Stanley Leopold Hidden, of Mingenew, in the early hours of Thursday morning of last week, the district has lost one of its outstanding citizens and the community is much the poorer for his passing. Ever ready to do that little bit more for his fellow citizens, the deceased gentleman endeared himself in no uncertain measure to his ever increasing circle of friends. His sound advice and guidance was eagerly sought and freely given on any matters with which he was conversant, and his memory will ever be cherished by a community that mourns his untimely passing. Together with the residents of the district we pay tribute to his sterling character and kindly disposition, and we join in expressing regret at the loss sustained by his death. Born in London in 1887, the late Mr. Hidden spent the early years of manhood in the Middle East, arriving in Australia in 1926 as a member of the staff of Will & Co. Four years later he went to Carnamah, at which centre he spent three years and then transferred to Mingenew. Among many and varied activities at Mingenew during the intervening years, the deceased gentleman was agent for Messrs. Elder Smith & Company Limited and the Shell Company of Australia Limited, and by strict attention to his daily work, combined with excellent business principles and unfailing courtesy he established a great monument to his memory. He was a justice of the peace and frequently occupied a seat in the Mingenew Court, a prominent member of the masonic fraternity, an ex-secretary of the Mingenew Agricultural Society and officer in charge of the V.D.C. at Mingenew during a period of World War II. About two years ago he was the victim of a serious illness, for which he underwent two major operations, and in making a partial recovery he resumed business and heroically continued with the courage and determination that he had displayed right throughout his life. The deceased gentleman is survived by a widow, who has been the recipient of innumerable expressions of sympathy in her sad and somewhat sudden bereavement. The funeral took place in the Anglican portion of the Mingenew Cemetery with the Rev. F. W. Murray officiating at the graveside. The cortege comprised of over forty motor vehicles, and the attendance was a striking tribute the respect and esteem in which the deceased gentleman was held by the district community. The casket-carriers were Messrs. W. W. Holmes, C. C. Readhead, C. Watson and J. B. Humphrys, and the pall-bearers were Mrssrs. J. G. Russell, E. F. Wick, H. W. Smith, H. H. Rhodes, E. C. Crain and J. O. Broad. A large number of floral tributes were laid upon the grave."

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 6 October 1944:
"Pioneer Passes - Vale Alfred Hollingsworth. The older residents of the Carnamah district were shocked on Sunday to learn that Mr. Alfred James Hollingsworth had passed away at Guildford that day. The late Mr. Hollingsworth, who was aged 74 years, had been suffering with a heart complaint for some time, and although those near and dear to him had been prepared for the ultimate end for some time, the news of his demise nevertheless came as a great shock to them. Like all heart sufferers he experienced his periodical attacks, and when they had passed he appeared to be in fair health. Only a week or so ago he paid a visit to his sons' property at Carnamah and assisted them over the shearing. Deceased was one of the earliest pioneers of the Carnamah district, and the name of Alfred Hollingsworth will always be associated with the pioneering of Carnamah. Unlike a lot of pioneers he prospered in his farming venture, and in his old age was able to retire and take up residence at Guildford. We, of the younger generation, who follow on, have a lot to thank these hardy pioneers for. They were halycon days, those pioneer days of yesteryears, and thoughts of the rapidly thinning ranks of these grand old men sends one's memory straying back down the dam and dusty passages to a never to be forgotten past. Every sympathy is felt for the aged widow and her family of two sons, Richard and Stanley, and one daughter Vittoria (Mrs. P. W. Dewar). The funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon in the Anglican portion of the Karrakatta cemetery. It is vale Alf. Hollingsworth, but his name will live down through the annals of local history."
