From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 30 July 1943:
"Obituary - Vale Geo. Catto. News of the sudden passing of George Catto at Alice Springs, came as a severe blow to the residents of Carnamah last week-end. In fact it still seems unreal that one who had always appeared so hale and hearty, should have been claimed by the Grim Reaper so suddenly. Death, it is understood, was due to pneumonia. George Catto was a returned soldier of the Great War, having served with the 1st 11th Battalion. For many years he farmed in the Inering district and it has been said on many occasions, that he was the best farmer in the whole of the Carnamah district. He was methodical in everything he did on his property, and always had a set place for all his equipment - an example which well might be followed by other farmers. Such a man was George Catto, and many people envied him his well-appointed farm. Some two years or so ago he leased his Inering property to Mr. Bertolotti, and took up residence in the metropolitan area. The deceased gentleman was twice married, his second wife being Miss Kathleen Clark, daughter of Mr. and the late Mrs. J. B. Clark of Carnamah. Two sons (Ronald and Campbell) resulted from this union, together with their sorrowing mother, are left to mourn their sad loss."
