The late Mrs. Davison who was married in England, came to Australia with her husband prior to the great war, and resided in Perth until 1933, coming to Carnamah of about May that year. Being of a likeable disposition the late Mrs. Davison endeared herself to the Carnamah residents and always took a keen interest in the social welfare of the town.

From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 16 February 1934:
The Farm Service Station - Complete Engineering Service Offered by Efficient Plant and Competent Staff
"Recent additions to both the plant and personnel of the Farm Service Station, Carnamah, have greatly increased the scope and efficiency of their work until now they claim to have the best equipped garage north of Perth. A representative of the Ford Motor Co. recently told the proprietor (Mr. I. Johnson) that their plant is better than anything of its kind in Geraldton. The service offered covers mechanical and electrical work to motor vehicles and tractors; blacksmithing and wheel work; fitting, turning and screw cutting work, very modern lathes are included in the plant; welding of every description; battery charging; repairs to farm machinery; and a spare part and accessory stock. Mr. Alan Heales, an R.A.C. certified foreman, who joined the staff this week, will be in charge of the mechanical repair work to motor vehicles. The latest installation is a battery charging plant, which was put into operation Wednesday night. It is the latest plant obtainable, being manufactured in W.A. by A. C. McCallum and Co. It is operated on the town electric supply and transformed it down to the 6-8 voltage. It is automatic in action, the amperage being gradually reduced as the batter becomes charged, until stops when the battery is fully charged, thereby eliminating risk of overcharge. Batteries will now be charged in 24 hours from time of delivery at the Service Station. The plant will also be used for electrical tests. Two new additions to the plant have been the fitting of a break down truck, and a portable welding plant, which can be wheeled about wherever required. The enterprise on the part of the proprietor (Mr. Ivan Johnson) in providing such an efficient plant and competent staff, (which now number five), is worthy of every recognition by the district. It is to be hoped that the expenditure of his capital in the town in this manner both in plant and in labour, which all adds to the progress of the town, will reap its just reward."
From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 27 June 1941:
"Vale Captain Ivan Johnson. Another wave of sadness swept over the Carnamah district on Monday morning, when the flying of the Union Jack, at half mast, heralded the news that Captain Ivan Johnson had paid the supreme sacrifice. Educated at the Guildford Grammar School he came to this district about eighteen years ago and played an important part in the public life of the town and district. He gave unselfishly of his time and ability to practically every organisation in Carnamah, holding official positions in the Agricultural Society, Tennis Club, Presbyterian Church and Repertory Club, also being a playing member of the football club a number of years ago. The late Captain Johnson was given command of Carnamah's first Militia Unit and put in a lot of strenuous work organising and training the unit to a high standard. He joined the A.I.F. about 15 months ago and by hard work and ability he soon attained the rank of Captain. He was held in high esteem by the members of his own company and the loss of their leader will be sadly felt. A widow and family of two daughters, Jean and Pam., and two sons Dick and Douglas (who was born after his father sailed for overseas) are left to mourn their loss, and to them and to his parents and to all those who were near and dear to him, we extend our sincere sympathy at their sad loss."
