From The North Midland Times newspaper, Friday 22 January 1937:
Death of Little Girl - Perth Accident. The death occurred at Victoria Park Perth, at 2.30 p.m. on Sunday, January 17, when Marion Johns (8), daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Johns, of Coorow, was run over and killed by a motor truck driven by Stephen Richard Bowen, of Marr street, Carlisle. The little girl was struck by the vehicle when she ran across the street in front of the house where she was staying with her parents, who had arrived Coorow on Saturday to spend a holiday with relatives living in Albany road. The rear wheel of the truck passed over the girl who sustained dreadful head injuries. The scene of the fatality was a short distance east of the Causeway. The driver of the truck told the police that he first saw the girl on the edge of the footpath, party obscured by a telegraph pole. She appeared to be playing and he took no particular notice of her until he saw her running across the street. In an effort to avoid her he swerved violently to the right. He felt no impact and was not sure whether she was struck by the front of the truck or stumbled and fell in front of it. The deepest sympathy is felt for the parents in their sad bereavement."

"Obituary - Vale Hamlet Jones. In the presence of a large number of relatives and friends the funeral of the late Mr. Alexander Hamlet Jones took place on Sunday afternoon when the remains were interred in the Anglican portion of the Winchester Cemetery. The Rev. A. J. Toomey, of the Anglican Church conducted the burial service. The late Mr. Jones, who was a well-known and respected resident of the Coorow district for many years, passed peacefully away on Saturday, January 7th at the Three Springs district hospital. Death has deprived the district of yet another old resident, as the late Mr. Jones was an esteemed member of a well known pioneer family of the Midland districts. Mr. Jones had been failing in health for some time past but, nevertheless, his death came as a great shock to all who had known him. Since the formation of the Coorow Football Club until a few seasons ago the late gentleman had taken a keen interest in its activities, and his passing will leave a void in sporting spheres which will indeed be hard to fill. The late Mr. Jones who was aged 72 years leaves a wife and five daughters Trix (Mrs. Edwards), Una (Mrs. Longmore), Madge, Neta (Mrs. Waldeck), and Emma and one son Edward to mourn their loss. Despite the short notice of the deceased gentleman's death a large cortege followed the remains to their last resting place."
