From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 27 June 1941:
"Obituary - Late Sergeant Geo. McGowan. The whole district was shocked when the news came through on Friday morning last of the death of Sgt. George McGowan, Carnamah, first young man to enlist for active service abroad. Coming to W.A. from Scotland as one of a number of picked boys chosen by the Y.A.L., he eventually arrived in Carnamah, where after being employed for seven years on Mr. C. Robertson's property he was later employed by R. Clark and J. Bowman. Although of a reserved nature he gradually began to take an active part in the public life of the district, and was an active supporter of the football and cricket clubs. Possessed of a magnificent physique he made an imposing figure in uniform, and we who knew him, feel certain that when the time came he upheld the great tradition of the A.I.F., and also of that country that has given to the empire some of its greatest soldiers. To his sorrowing father and mother in far-away Scotland, we extend our sincerest sympathy at the loss of their only child and to "Big George" we say farewell."

The late Mr. McIntosh is survived by a widow, to whom the sympathy of the whole district will go out. The funeral will take place this (Friday) afternoon at three o'clock at the Winchester cemetery."

From The Moora Herald and Midland Districts Advocate newspaper, Friday 4 January 1918:
"Suicide at Winchester - An inquest was held at the Moora Court House, on Wednesday, upon the remains of a man supposed to be named W. McMahon who was found drowned the previous day in a dam on the property of Mr. L. Parker, at Winchester. Mr. W. S. Ralston (Acting Coroner), conducted the inquiry with a jury consisting of Messrs. Ivan C. Campbell, Reg. Parker and E. Hellewell. Constable Honner [of Three Springs] gave evidence of recovering the body and deposed that deceased hands and feet were tried together with strips of old bagging. The knots were tied in a fashion suggestive that deceased had secured them himself. There were no marks of violence on the body and only one set of tracks led down to the water's edge. Every indication led to the belief that the man had deliberately drowned himself. Dr. Macdonald Allan gave evidence of conducting a post-mortem examination on the remains. He had found death was due to downing. There were no marks of violence on the body that had been caused before death took place. The hands and feet of deceased were loosely tied with the knots on the inside. It was possible for the deceased to tie knots himself. All the deceased organs were in a very unhealthy state and the appearance of the stomach was consistent with heavy drinking. The jury brought in a verdict that deceased had met his death by drowning; and that he had drowned himself."


From The Midlands Advertiser newspaper, Friday 4 January 1918:
"Suicide at Winchester - On Wednesday last, Constable Honner, of Three Springs, brought the body of a man about 52 years of age, and supposed to be named W. McMahon, from Winchester. On Saturday last, the man arrived at Winchester under engagement from the Westralia Agency, Perth, to Mr Lou Parker. He appeared to be very quiet and from all appearances was recovering from a drinking bout. He was last seen on the night of the 31st ult., when he appeared all right. On the 1st, Mr Parker had occasion to visit a dam about quarter of a mile from his residence, and saw on the edge of the dam some clothing, and also found tracks leading into the water. He got a rake and eventually brought the body of the man to the surface. The body was clothed in pyjamas and both legs and arms tied with bagging. An inqest was opened and concluded at Moora, on the 2nd inst., before W. S. Ralston, J. P., acting coroner, and jurors Ivan Campbell, Reg. Parker and E. Hellewell. After hearing the evidence, the jury brought in the following verdict:- "That deceased came to his death at Winchester on or about the first day of January by drowning, and that he wilfully drowned himself." P.c. Pimblett appeared for the police."
