From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 21 March 1941:
"Obituary - Late William John Pethick. A deep gloom was cast over the district on Wednesday morning when it was made known that Mr. William John Pethick had been away at St. John of God's hospital early that morning. The late Mr. Pethick was well and favourably known throughout the Winchester, Carnamah and Coorow districts, having Carried on farming operations at Winchester for many years. In company of Mrs. Pethick and their family he came to This district some twelve years ago and purchased "Petan" from Mr. Weir who had decided to retire from farm life. During the ensuing years Mr. Pethick took an active part in all district affairs. He was largely instrumental in the early establishment of bulk handling along the Midland line, and his efforts in this connection will long be remembered by all who knew him. At a complimentary dinner tendered to the Midland Railway Company in November last Mr. John Bowman paid him a glowing tribute to him in this connection. The late Mr. Pethick was also a staunch supporter of the Carnamah District Agricultural Society, and was for many years a vice-president. In fact, in 1938, he was elected president-elect but declined to fill the office of president the following year, contending that Mr. Sargent should be elected for another year. He was also a Justice of the Peace. The deceased gentleman was a great lover of good horseflesh and frequently acted in the capacity of judge at the local shows, mainly in the Clydesdale classes. He always had a string of good hacks and these used to be amongst the main prize-winners at all local shows. Until a few years ago the late Mr. Pethick was a familiar figure in the show ring, as he used to ride his own horses. In recent years the deceased gentleman has not enjoyed the best of health and during the latter part of his life he had frequent bouts of illness. Last year he paid a holiday visit to South Australia but was precluded from enjoying the trip to any great extent owing to ill-health. The deceased gentleman had an attack of illness last week and was transported to Perth on Sunday last by his son-in-law (Mr. Geo. Raffan). His relatives received an assurance that there was no immediate danger and they consequently returned home. The late Mr. Pethick was born in Aldinga, South Australia, 72 years ago and resided at that centre until he came west and settled at Winchester. A wife, three daughters Alice (Mrs. H. Seymour Miling), Mavis (Mrs. Geo. Raffan), Lottie, and two sons Ralph and Keith are left to mourn their loss. The funeral will take place at the Winchester cemetery this (Friday) morning at 11 o'clock."
From The Irwin Index newspaper, Saturday 22 March 1941:
"Death of Winchester Resident - News was received at Winchester on Wednesday last of the death of Mr. W. J. Pethick, one of the district's most prominent residents. The deceased gentleman recently entered a private hospital in Perth, and as his condition at the time was regarded as serious the news of his death was not entirely unexpected. The late Mr. Pethick was well known as a breeder of horses and frequently acted as judge in horse classes for agricultural shows. At the time of his death he was vice-president of the Carnamah Agricultural Society, the deceased gentleman having shown a keen interest in patriotic work and movements for the general welfare of the district. His remains were conveyed to Winchester and interred in the local cemetery in the presence of a very large assemblage, the funeral taking place yesterday."
From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 28 March 1941:
"Funeral - late William John Pethick. The funeral of the late Mr. William John Pethick, of "Petan" Winchester, took place in the Methodist portion of the Winchester Cemetery on Friday morning of last week, and was largely attended. A service was conducted at his late residence by Rev. F. Hales, and on the way to the cemetery the scholars of the Winchester State School paid a silent tribute to the cortege. The chief mourners were the deceased's widow, Messrs. Ralph and Keith Pethick (sons), Mrs. R H. Seymour and Miss Lottie Pethick (daughters), and Messrs. Geo. Raffan and R. H. Seymour (sons-in-law.) The pall-bearers were Messrs. F. R. Bryant, J. L. Adams, J. Bowman, H. H. Chappel, C. Millard, and Gordon Raffan. Rev. F. Hales officiated at the graveside."
